A freight train to the right
feeling that sting of pride
     F#/A#
It's fucking with me
it's fucking with you
E                            G#m
All's fair in love and war until
                              E
you say it isn't but you're wrong
B
 Words on the back of flyers
my clothes are in the
      F#/A#
dryer It means nothing
nothing is changing
E
La familia is dead and gone
    G#m                        E
the children grew up and moved on

Chorus:
F#                G#m
Is it too much to ask for the
               E
things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is
    F#
mine
I wanted everything
G#m
I got it and now I'm
      E
gonna
Throw it away I'll
throw it away (yeah)

Prime select and a box of glazed,
pulling fly-bys on days
When we were young and innocent
Elbow-drop Sundays when
Mark Eaton got beat to shit
Laughing at the bands we hate,
all the spots we used to skate
Well, they're still there,
but we've gone our own ways
I know it's for the best
but sometimes I wonder
Will I ever have friends like you again?

Chorus - x2

B
You're gonna drown
       C#m
in the mess you make
G#m           E
Your self inflicted hate
B
You turn your back on
    C#m
the friends you lose
G#m
When they don't
       E
follow all your rules
B
But people are
          C#m
what they wanna be
G#m
They're not lemmings
E
to the sea
B
Maybe it's time you
C#m
looked at yourself
G#m
And stop blaming life
    E          B
on someone else
