[Intro]
A# F D# A# 2x
[Verse]
A#
I took a pill in Ibiza
F
To show Avicii I was cool
D#
And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older
A#
But fuck it, it was something to do
[Verse]
A#
I'm living out in LA
F
I drive a sports car just to prove
D#
I'm a real big baller cause I made a million dollar
A#
And I spend it on girls and shoes
[Chorus]
Gm
But you don't wanna be high like me
F
Never really knowing why like me
D#
You don't ever wanna step off
A#
that roller coaster and be all alone
Gm
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
F
Never knowing who to trust like this
D#
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
A# F D# A#
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
A# F D# A#
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
[Verse]
A# F
I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
D#
I get along with old timers
A#
Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
A#
And I can't keep a girl, no
F
Cause as soon as the sun comes up
D#
I cut em all loose and work's my excuse
A#
But the truth is I can't open up
[Chorus]
Gm
But you don't wanna be high like me
F
Never really knowing why like me
D#
You don't ever wanna step off
A#
that roller coaster and be all alone
Gm
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
F
Never knowing who to trust like this
D#
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
A# F D# A#
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
A# F D# A#
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
[Solo]
A# F D# D#
[Verse]
A#
I took a plane to my home town
F
I brought my pride and my guitar
D#
All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns
A#
And the people still think I'm a star
I walked around downtown
F
I met some fans in Lafayette
D#
They said tell us how to make it
cause we're getting real impatient
A#
So I looked em in the eye and said
[Chorus]
Gm
But you don't wanna be high like me
F
Never really knowing why like me
D#
You don't ever wanna step off
A#
that roller coaster and be all alone
Gm
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
F
Never knowing who to trust like this
D#
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
A# F D# A#
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
A# F D# A#~
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
