F               D#
Don't say that, don't be sad
  A#                          F
I didn't think someone could be so bad (I mean it)
                 D#
Don't say that, don't be sad
  A#                         F
I didn't think people could be this bad

           F           D#
I see the moon in the violet sky
        A#                 F
And it looks so pretty, I just might cry
                    D#
I sit alone in the candlelight
           A#                              F
Because I didn't get the job for which I tried
and tried
                      D#
You know it's so, so scary
         A#                F
When you see me for who I really am
                      D#
You know it’s so, so scary
 A#
When you look right at me in my eyes and I say

Chorus:
 F               D#
Don’t say that, don’t be sad
   A#                        F
I didn’t think people could get this bad
                            D#
I mean it, don’t say that, don’t be sad
   A#                           F
I didn’t think something could be this bad
                       D#  A#
(Ah-da-da, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
F                     D#
It's alright (ooh-ooh-ooh)
A#               F
You do yours and I'll do mine

I'm in the pool, in the pouring rain
I stick my tongue into the tip of the daisy chain
I took your phone in a drunken state
I think it's funny when you’re
too annoyed to concentrate
You know it's so, so scary
When you see me for what I truly am
You know it’s so, so scary
When you look right at me in my eyes and I say

Chorus

        Cm  A#  F
I'll do mine
        Cm  A#  F
I'll do mine
        Cm  A#  F
I'll do mine

Chorus

Don't say that, don't be sad
I didn't think something could be this bad (I mean)
Don't say that, don't be sad
I didn't think people could be so bad (I mean it)
