             F#m
What was the point
                 B
Of all of those migraines
               E
If life's so short?
               C#m
Don't spend it my way
        F#m
Try to avoid
             B
A pointless time change
              E
If you wanna see the world
                C#m
Don't take the highway

              F#m
If you wanna dance again, you can dance again
       B
Use a lifeline, honey, phone a friend
       E
It'll take some time, it'll make you glad
   C#m
To have what you had again

Chorus:
                  F#m
This isn't how it ends
                     B
This isn't where we put down our pens
                     E
Go tell the businessmen
                  C#m
This isn't how it ends

Go sell your shares
If you're so worried (If you're so worried)
If life's so short (Life's so short)
What's your hurry? (What's your hurry?)
When you get there
You'll tell the jury
That you didn't wanna get involved
(Get involved, get involved)
'Cause you want mercy (You want mercy)

If you wanna dance again, you can dance again
Use a lifeline, honey, phone a friend
It'll make you cry when you make amends
Who wants a millionaire when you can have a friend?

Chorus:
When it ends
When we can finally put down our pens
Go tell the businessmen
If this is how it ends
I want my money back
I wanna watch 'em all overreact
Don't tell me not to laugh
Don't tell me how it ends

 F#m
Woah
 B
Woah
E
Oooooh-oh
C#m
Oooooh-oh

F#m
Oooooh-oh
B
Oooooh-oh
E
Oooooh-oh
C#m
Oooooh-oh

If you wanna dance
Wanna dance, you can dance
It'll take, it'll make
Who wants a millionaire when you can have a friend?

Chorus:
If you wanna dance again, you can dance again
Use a lifeline, honey, phone a friend
It'll make you cry when you make amends
Who wants a millionaire when you can have a friend?
