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