Sign your postcards with that little signature I think's so cute
I know its
Just your name but for some reason it makes me feel close to you
Drag me out of bed and try to wrap your arms around me
And I'll write
Sappy haikus that say "I love you" even tho it's not in meter
Em G D
I guess I'll have to take myself seriously
Watch the stars abo-ove city lights that look more in order
And I think
It's silly when you lay your head on me when you feel sleepy
I can't aff-ord, flowers at the moment but I'll try to pick some
I hope you
Don't mind the tiny daisies they're the only ones I could find
Em G C D
And I know it's moments like this
That I think back on when I feel down
Even though sometimes I wanna quit
You're the thing that's keeping me around...
I know its
Just your name but for some reason it makes me feel close to you

Your Girl
G D C G
Waking up when the sun already rised
Wiping dried dreams from the corner of my eyes
D C G
I stay in bed a little longer
Then I drag myself by the bottom of my feet
Into the bathtub to get myself clean
Something always seems to get in the way
D C G
Of the mental healthiness that I crave
G C D
And oh I'll wait for you
Health be damned I'll never break this promise to you
Cause if I stand for only one thing it'd be just you
And me, sitting around, loving the world
(G walk to Em, C D)
Let me be your girl
G D C G
Phone stays dead there's no need to charge it
I wanna burn all the photographs in my wallet
That don't quite match what I had in mind
And some days it's okay to live a lie
And some nights all I'll do is cry
Until I fall asleep with a wet pillow
G C D
And oh I'll wait for you
Health be damned I'll never break this promise to you
Cause if I stand for only one thing it'd be just you
And me, sitting around, loving the world
(G walk to Em, C D)
Let me be your girl
C D G
The trees are pushing, but theres no one here for the wind
Chorus, end

C Am F C
Take a couple pictures you'll regret the next day and go show them
To anyone who's willing to see you during your off days!
Break a couple bones learning to ride a skateboard that you'll abandon
Find someone you think you won't annoy and strike up a conversation!
F G
Live the - American Dream
Live the - American Dream
Live the - American Dream cause that's what you want
Google "how to kiss a pretty girl" on your phone when she's not looking
Take it step by step and don't forget to breathe!
The loneliness that walks in your shadow is becoming more tempting
With every nervous anxious-filled movement you wanna do but just can't seem! to do!
F G
Live the - American Dream
Live the - American Dream
Live the - American Dream cause that's what they want
Spend the morning, evening, afternoon and night time just sitting
In your dirty room you're always too exhausted to clean!
What the hell's the point in fixing a bed when there's no one
Who's gonna come home tired and sleep between the sheets
F G
Live the - American Dream
Live the - American Dream
Live the - American Dream if you can do it

C Am F G
Get me a way out of this quicksand that I stepped in
Find me the right concoction of drugs that make me wait for heaven
Give me enough water to go through songs I shouldn't be playing cause I
I end up talking a bit too much
F G C Am F G C
But oh, that's how life goes
We live, we die
And sometimes, we hardly do the former
C Am F G
I'll get the right words in order for this sentence
That's been running around in my head for days and days and days
"Who the fuck am I? What am I doing, how am I different
Than any of the other shitheads with half a brain?!"
F G C Am F G C
But oh, that's how life goes
You're smart, you're dumb
And sometimes, you'll lean more towards the latter
C Am F G
AND I'LL KEEP SINGING WITH A SORE THROAT
AND CUTTING SKIN OFF WITH GUITAR STRINGS THAT I KNOW I HIT TOO HARD
PAWNING OFF OLD ACTION FIGURES FOR NEW STRAPS AND BUTTONS
IS ANY OF THIS SHIT I DO REALLY ALL THAT SMART?
F G C Am F G C
But oh, that's how life goes
You're confident, then you're not
And at least for me, I'm not really ever the former

A A thingy Chorus A D bridge thingy D A end thingy A G
This medicine that keeps me calm
Doesn't help me stop the nerves when you're involved
Constantly just two steps
To asking you for a kiss
I don't wanna really go home
And its, just tiring
To be aspiring
For something I could never get if I don't follow it
But I'll, kick my ass in gear tomorrow.
(Chorus)
Everything's inspiring when you're just guessing
Trying not to go out and sell your whole soul
Shitty dead-end jobs and two week vacations
Aren't nearly enough to come close to settling the score
If life's a road that you travel on,
Then I'm tired of pulling over for all the things that go wrong
I don't really give a shit that you don't like my hair one bit
That's what happens when you grow up an adult
And I,
Hope I'm not bothering you when I'm filling myself with food
I know I'm expensive I'm a very needy girl
I just hope this thing doesn't come between us, come between us
(Bridge)
Maybe I don't wanna stay this way forever
But I feel like it's too early to tell
Right now all I'll have to focus on
Is figuring out a way to get myself out this hell and now
(chorus)
(endy bit)
Swear to god I'll write to you
Just remind me when you want me to (x3)

G C G D
Whats the point in settling scores
When you're just there for vacation and in two weeks you'll still be bored
How do I find something else
To occupy my time with until I get some help
Everybody's getting wasted on the weekend
I'm stuck with spoiled food and a leaky ceiling
Whats the point in settling scores
When there's no recognition, there's not even a reward
Chorus
AND HEEEEEY WE'RE ALL WISHING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
WHEN EVERYONE STARTS MUMBLING ABOUT HOW THEY'RE ALL LEAVING
HEEEEEEEY WHAT'S THIS WEIRD MIX OF FEELINGS?
THAT MAKE ME SAY THE DUMBEST THINGS WHEN IM AROUND YOU
Switching up the depression in my life
A boring story for an album made up through the night
And I gotta say I don't think I've felt better
Since you've given me a kiss your jacket and number
Yeah I got friends, and I hardly get to see them
Skype conversations that go throughout the evening
But I'm feeling great, I can't complain
You're still there keeping me behind my hair trying to hide my smile
AND HEEEEEEEY WE'RE ALL WISHING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
WHEN EVERYONE STARTS MUMBLING ABOUT HOW THEY'RE ALL LEAVING
HEEEEEEEEY WHATS THIS WEIRD MIX OF FEELINGS?
THAT MAKE ME SAY THE DUMBEST THINGS WHEN IM AROUND YOU
THAT MAKE ME SAY THE DUMBEST THINGS WHEN IM AROUND YOU
THAT MAKE ME SAY SERIOUSLY THE SILLIEST THINGS I COULD EVER SAY AROUND YOU OH!
(quick bridge)
(no strings, do chorus)
(do chorus with chords now)

F# B C B F#
Well here's a little story about a boy thats twice your age
He never seems to work a job but he always gets his pay
At night when he's alone he just listens to his music
With trumpets and a big guitar with a really catchy chorus
Chorus F# B C B
Hey stranger stranger, do you like my funny stories?
Am I upsetting you by singing with the chorus?
Hey stranger stranger, what do you think of the fact
That you and me weren't meant to be and we both don't give a crap! OH!
F# B C B
Ten miles is pretty far when you don't have a car
Lets take a taxi to a big Orlando bar!
We can get fake IDs I'm just a year younger
Then we'll crash at my friend's house (ALEX!) and pass out on the sofa!
Chorus
Chorus 2-
Hey stranger stranger, do you like my funny stories?
Are you just kidding when your lips are pressed up to me?
Hey stranger stranger, what do you think of the fact
That you and me aren't meant to be and we're both okay with that?

G F C G
You don't have to stay around long
I know all I do is bother you
And that's not my concern
You always said "fuck the pain away"
I'm always asking if you hate me
But I'm tired of complaining
SO HEEEEEEEY
FUCK YOU ANYWAY
IM TIRED OF TRYING TO LIVE UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS! (x2)
It's been too long since I've smiled
When you were in general company
All you do is bring me down
Can't even stand two SECONDS OF YOUR TIME
SO HEEEEEEY
FUCK YOU ANYWAY
IM TIRED OF TRYING TO LIVE UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS! (x2)
F G C Am F end on C
sO WHAT IF IM LIKE MY NEW FRIENDS?
STEALING SHIT AND SMOKING
YOURE THE ONLY ONE WHO SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT
SO WHAT IF IM LONELY?
ITS BETTER THAN BEING NOTHING
SO JUST GO BACK TO SITTING ON THE COUCH AND WHINING!
C Am F G
