          G/B         C               Em           G
From the hot strobe lights and the spiked punch bliss
        G/B         C           Em         G
And the long walks home in the dark we'll miss
G/B      C          Em         G
Nobody teaches you how to reminisce
G/B     Am             C/E  D/F# G
Nobody teaches you to hurt like this

Chorus:
          G   C                 G
Then we slide into the arms of someone else
          Em   C                 G
Yeah, we slide into the arms of someone else

No more coked up, broke, nocturnal kids
Was that ever even us? Do we know what we missed?
Nobody teaches you how to win big
Nobody said there's no reverse on this

Chorus:
Then we slide into the arms of someone else
Yeah, we slide into the arms of someone else
In disguise, we get a little better
at controlling ourselves around midnight
Then we slide into the arms of someone else

G                Am
Nobody wants to, nobody wants to
G                Am
Nobody wants to, nobody wants to
G                C        D
Nobody wants to wake up alone

Chorus:
Then we slide into the arms of someone else
Then we slide into the arms of someone else
In disguise, we get a little better
at controlling ourselves around midnight
But then we slide into the arms of some, someone else
