B
I was I was I was I was
F#
Gonna say something that would solve all our problems
                                       C#              B
But then I got drunk and I forgot what I was talking about
B
I forgot what I was talking.

Don't you, don't you, don't you know
There's nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody
There's nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody but you
Than to be loved by everybody but you, but you

            B            C#
If I could get my shit together
           D#m                   C#      B
I'm gonna run away and never see any of you again
                 Bm
Never see any of you again

Chorus:
                      F#
I hope the roof flies off and we get blown out into space
                               C#
I always make such expensive mistakes
    B
I know it's just a number
but you're my 8th wonder
I'll stop wearing black when
they make a darker color

F#
(Whoa, whoa)
                          C#
When they make a darker color
B
(Oh, oh)
I'll stop wearing black when
they make a darker color

Woke up on the wrong side of p-p-paradise
And when I say I'm sorry I'm late
I wasn't showing up at all
I really mean I didn't plan on showing up at all

Don't you, don't you, don't you know
I hate all my friends, I miss the days when I pretended
I hate all my friends, I miss the days when I pretended with you
I miss the days when I pretended with you, with you

If I can get my shit together,
I'm gonna run away and never see
Any of you again, never see any of you again

Chorus

Whoa, whoa, whoa
When they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa, whoa
When they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

B             C#           D#m
If we hadn't done this thing
                          C#
I think I'd be a medicine man
B               C#               D#m              C#
So I could get high on my own supply whenever I can
B         C#                   D#m
I became such a strange shape, such a strange shape
                   C#
From trying to fit in
B                              Bm
I became such a strange shape, such a strange shape

Chorus

Whoa, whoa, whoa
When they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black, I'll stop wearing black
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
