A      E       A
Don't call me out, 'cause I heard you scream
         E                F#m           D   F#m
I don't wanna get out of bed for this again
A        E          A
I won't waste your time, I heard it in a dream
E  F#m                        E
I don't believe you trusted me
  D
Trusted me

A                               E
I bet you only listen to your friends
                           D
I'm talking like I can pretend
                      A
But I feel better when
A                                  E
You tell me that I always have to go
                             D
You tell me what I want to know
                         A
And I'll feel better for it

A                                     E
I know sometimes it's hard for me to say
                        D
I love you every other day
                    A
You pour my heart away

And sometimes I'm scared of what they've done
So I look how far we've come
You think you don't have to put up a fight,
but you might as well
So I tell you everything you won't admit
You tell me you don't care one bit
And I feel better for it

A
Look online
Do ten minutes of research and in turn find
                D
The problem is poor kids who want
holidays in term time
      A
The problem is poor kids who can't
afford the train fare
                              D
So we up the train fare and charge
them for not paying the train fare
The problem is welfare
And the problem is free healthcare
            A
'cause it's unfair and if it's gone it's welfare
The problem is drugs
                     D
The problem is free love and free hugs
So stay in fear
Do some drugs and stay here

             A
Well I said go on then!
But God bless the weatherman
     D
Who has gone out of business since
the psychoactive substance ban
A
The gateway has sent him back
From bulk-buying NOS to selling crack
      D
The problem rose and a rich man suggested it
                        A
Over his lunchtime snack
                     D
So we ban the produce and its a bit
of a nuisance really

A                  D                       A
"Don't waste your time", I heard you scream
                          D              A
I don't wanna get out of bed today, okay?
                    D                         A
I won't waste your time, I heard it in a dream
   D
I don't believe you trusted me
  A
Trusted me
         D        A
Please trust in me
         D        A
Please trust in me
