C
Just got jumped in an alley
            Am
Life’s too short, picked a fight
                                F
with a bouncer at a bar in the valley
                                     C
Got a couple bruises and a bite mark on my
lip from kissing vampires
C                                Am
Let’s find a park, let’s kill a bottle,
                            F
it’s a start if there’s a spark
                             G
Light up this icy heart but baby don’t you
cry for me

     C
I’m messy, I’m reckless
   Am
I fuck shit up for breakfast
    F                         G
My life is a trainwreck, I’m burning
                             C
through my paychecks on the weekends
                         Am
These cheap friends pull me into the deep end
          F                          G
Now I’m drowning, I’m sinking, it’s good to
feel something

Chorus:
    C Am         F
And I-I wanna fly, wanna burn
                         G
I wanna die for cheap thrills
again and tell me I’m alive

I sold my soul to the devil
For a pack of lights and a night spent
in jail I can keep as a memento
X's on my hand and a hospital bracelet
No one gets to say I never went for it

Let's find a park, let's kill a bottle
It's a start if there's a spark
Light up this icy heart
But, baby, don't you cry for me

Chorus:
I'm messy, I'm reckless
I fuck shit up for breakfast
My life is a trainwreck
I'm burnin' through my paychecks
On the weekends, these cheap friends
Pull me into the deep end
Now I'm drownin', I'm sinkin'
It's good to feel somethin'
And I, I wanna fly
I wanna burn, I wanna die
For cheap thrills that kill and tell me
I, I wanna fly
I wanna burn, I wanna die
For cheap thrills that kill and tell me I'm alive

So pour me another and kiss me like
there's no tomorrow
I wanna have your baby, let's move to Toronto
Let's fall off the face of the earth
'Cause we're all bound to die, but hey,
babe, we tried
So tell me I'm alive (Tell me I'm alive)
Tell me that it's all alright
Tell me I'm alive
And bring me back to life
