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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
