D       F#m      G          D
I got a dog and my dog can dance
Bm           D          G            Em
Just not in public and not with my friends
D        F#m       G           D
I got a girl and she's twenty-eight
Bm           D              G            D
Now I'm the coolest guy in all of eight grade

I know a kid that you've never met
His dad is a rock star, we smoked in his van
I know a trick, do you wanna see?
I can be anything that I pretend to be

Chorus:
G
We'll get out of this
D        A
We'll get out of this too
G
I'm not proud of this
D             A
But I'm not proud of the truth
G
And if you'll run away from me
D          A               G
Then I'll use my trick on you
      Em  F#m  G         D
The truth is that I'm screwed

I went to France and danced in the rain
Then told you all about it on our first date
My dad doesn't lie, so you can't meet my dad
'Cause you fell in love with the me that went to France

Chorus:
We'll get out of this, we'll get out of this too
I'm not proud of this, but I'm not proud of the truth
And if you run from me
Then I'll use my trick on you
The truth is that we're screwed

We'll get out of this, 'cause I love you, I do
We'll get out of this, 'cause I love you, it's true
But if you're doubting this
If you're doubting that I do
Then oh my God, I'm screwed
