"Social suicide."
C C/B
Yeah, so I'm already dead,
C F G C
On the inside but I can still pretend.
C C/B Am G
With my memories and photographs I have learned to love the lie.
F G Am G
I want to know what its like to be awkward and innocent, not belligerent.
F G Am G
I want to know how it feels to be useful and pertinent and have common sense, yeah.
F G Am
Let me in, let me into the club 'cause I want to belong,
G/B
And I need to get strong.
F G
And if memory serves I'm addicted to words.

And they're useless...in this department.
C C/B
Let's get fucked up and die.
C F G C

Let's get fucked up and die.
C F G C
For the last time with feelings we'll try not to smile.
C C/B Am G
As we cover our heads and drink heavily into the nights that still shock and surprise.
C C/B C F G C
I believe that I can overcome this and beat everything in the end.
C C/B
But I choose to abuse for the time being.
Am G
Maybe I'll win. But for now I've decided to die.
F G Am G
Sister soldier you've been such a positive influence on my mental frame.
F G Am G
If I could ever repay you I would but I'm hard up for cash and my memory lacks initiative.
