[Chorus:]

Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
Am
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
G F
and don't forget to take deep breaths.
Am
So suck your so called pity down.
G F
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
Am
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
G F
and don't forget to take deep breaths.
Am F G
So don't explain
Am C G
cause I know exactly what your're going to say.
Am F G
Big words, recycled phrases, and the
Am C G
bittersweet taste of other boys on your lips.

So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.'
Am C G
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.

[Chorus]
Am
Do you miss looking up from the floor
C
at my face on a stage in a crowded room?
G
Well it's not the same.
F
I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces.
Am
Downtown looking down, down, looking over the crowd
C
I hope you're out there, look at me now.
G
Well it's not the same.
F
Just look at how we've changed.
[Chorus]
