Chorus:
D7                 G                        Am7
Everyone's got a thing, a thing they don't like
                          C
A thing that makes them stand in front of the sink
                    D7
With tears in their eyes
G                                         Am7
Everyone's got a thing, maybe they won't cry
                       C
Maybe they can't even bear to utter the words
                D7
The doctor prescribed
             Em                    C            D7
I won't even lie, I'm screaming inside all the time
                   B7 Em                 Am  D D7
It seems like a breeze, it feels like a dream
But I don't wanna die

G
She can't stop hurting herself and
Em
He won't look in your eyes
C
Friend, I knew every time you were lying
    D7
And he got himself messed up with the wrong guys

Chorus:
Everyone's got a thing, a thing they don't like
A thing that makes them double-think when
They're standing at the railway crossing lights
Gotta stop forgetting the fact
It's not just me in this goddamn world
My brain is a child, I will love him for that
But don't lose sight of your baby girl

B7                 Em
I don't wanna wake up sometimes
Am7                D7
And I don't wanna sing
    B7                 Em
And I don't care what happens tonight
    Am7                D7
As long as I feel something

I don't wanna wake up sometimes
And I don't wanna sing
And I don't care what happens tonight
As long as I feel something
