Bm           D
How does it feel
    F#m  E           Bm
To lie alone in your bed
           D             A    E
When you know this is forever?
Bm            D
Low like the sun
      F#m       E         Bm
Come down and break into two
        D                A    E
And I know we'll burn together

Chorus:
         Bm                 D
Yeah, I love you on the weekends
         F#m                 E
But I'm careless and I'm wicked
         Bm                 D
Yeah, I love you on the weekends
         A      E
It's a cruel war
              Bm                      D
I still have pieces of you stuck on me
F#m                      E
Pieces of you stuck on me
         Bm                 D
Yeah, I love you on the weekends
         A      E
It's a cruel war

Cold, but you glow
Like the streets of Tokyo
It's alright, we can stay
Lost here forever
Sinking stones, we don't know
What lies on the riverbed
So we fall, no control
No, this can't be over yet

Chorus

Bm                D                  F#m
We try to laugh about it like it's okay
 E                            Bm
(That's how it's supposed to be)
                  D                  A
We try to laugh about it like it's okay
                 E
It's heavy, is that how it's supposed to be?

Chorus:
Yeah, I love you on the weekends
(Love you on the weekends)
But I'm careless and I'm wicked
(Careless and I'm wicked)
Yeah, I love you on the weekends
It's a cruel war
I still have pieces of you stuck on me
(Love you on the weekends)
Pieces of you stuck on me
(Careless and I'm wicked)
Yeah, I love you on the weekends
It's a cruel war
