Intro: EmGCG
Verse:
EmG
They cry ʼcause thatʼs what they do
C
I hope when somebodyʼs died
G
Itʼs just the right thing to do
EmG
But you stay locked in your room
C
And the months turn into years
G
I couldnʼt list out all my fears
Chorus:
EmG
So I slipped into that pretty, black mess
CG
Sold my soul back, and yeah, it made less
EmG
Than I knew I could get on for it
CG
I was sleeping, I was snoring
Post-chorus:
EmG
La-la, la-la
CG
La-la, la-la
EmG
La-la, la-la
CG
La-la, la-la
Verse:
EmG
They cheer ʼcause thatʼs what they do
C
When youʼre happy for yourself
G
Theyʼll be so happy with you
EmG
Until push comes to shove
C
And nobody is around
G
Nobody offers any love
Chorus:
EmG
So I slipped into that pretty, black mess
CG
Sold my songs back, then it made sense
EmG
But I knew I was so in for it
CG
I was sleeping, I was snoring
Post-chorus:
Em
(La-la) You didnʼt meet me at the bar
G
(La-la) You didnʼt meet me in the rain
C
(La-la) You didnʼt meet me at the car
G
(La-la) You only drove me insane (Insane)
Em
(La-la) You didnʼt meet me in the park
G
(La-la) You didnʼt meet me at her grave
C
(La-la) You didnʼt meet me at the bar
G
(La-la) You only drove me insane (Insane)

CG
I was desperate, I was hollering (La-la, la-la)
EmG
When I slipped into that pretty, black mess (La-la, la-la)
CG
Sold my soul, then it made sense (La-la, la-la)
EmG
But I knew I was so in for it (La-la, la-la)

I was sleeping, I was snoring (La-la, la-la)
