A
I dropped out

            D                A
College education’s a dull knife
                 D                    A
If you don’t believe in the lettered life
             E                D
Then maybe this is our only try

     A
And how I gauge
                  D              A
Whether this is stasis or change?
                E    D#m7-5       D
Fill out the requirements on the page
                E                D
and burn out before you can get paid

          Bm
Cos we're always
  D            E          Bm
Crawling in monochromatic hallways
  A                  E
Dreamed we pull 180 someday

Chorus:
              A          D
If you don't like it, well
         A         D
Say it's over, well
    E
Weekends alone

Ever lay back and watch the sunrise?
Ever hear violins in your mind?
You know it's only wind outside

'Cause we're always
Crawling in monochromatic hallways
Dream about burning down all day

Chorus:
              A          D
If you don't like it, well
         A         D
Say it's over, well
    E
Weekends alone
            D                   A
Does it get easier on your own?
            D                   A
Does it get easier on your own?

F            G
I waited so long for you
F                   C        G
Wasted some of the best years of my life
F                C        G
And I wanted to see it through
Am  G  F
This time
Am  G  F
This time

Chorus:
You don't like it
Say it's over
Weekends alone
Does it get easier on your own? (You don't like it)
Does it get easier on your own? (Say it's over)
Does it get easier on your own?
