C
I'm sorry for the both of us
Am                           Em
Try to move it, but it won't budge
                              G   F
It's useless when it's lock shut
C                Am
Is it good enough?
                        Em
If push never comes to shove
                             G  F
We can fake it, but only so much

   C
If only you knew that I'm tryna help you
Am
Never picked a side 'cause I never had to
Em                                G
Wish you could see how much it's killing me

Chorus:
               C
It sucks to be us
                      Am
I guess we jumped the gun
                 Em
Too close to the sun
                   G
I'm burnt and I'm done
    F          C
It sucks to be us
                                Am
We'll make it light, we make it fun
                         Em
'Til the blood starts to run
                           G
Another band-aid, another cut

               C Am Em G F
It sucks to be us

Oh, I don't wanna be wrong
But when the right thing's coming along
I'll miss it if I take too long
Am I just hanging on
To loose ends at any cost?
I'm scared to take the loss

I hope you know that I'm tryna help you
Never picked a side, but now I just have to
Wish you could see how much it's killing me

Chorus

    F          C  Am Em G F
It sucks to be us

Dm                            G
Does it make me another hypocrite
                             C
If I don't wanna live like this?
                             Am
It's a feeling I'm not gonna miss
Dm                                          G
It was a handshake, did I have my fingers crossed
                            C
Had a good game even if we lost
                               Am        C
It's not what we wanted, it's what we got

Chorus

It sucks to be us
