[Intro]
F C A# F 2x
[Verse]
F
I took a pill in Ibiza
C
To show Avicii I was cool
A#
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
A#
I'm a real big baller cause I made a million dollar
F
And I spend it on girls and shoes
[Chorus]
Dm
But you don't wanna be high like me
C
Never really knowing why like me
A#
You don't ever wanna step off
F
that roller coaster and be all alone
Dm
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
C
Never knowing who to trust like this
A#
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
F C A# F
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
F C A# F
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
[Verse]
F C
I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
A#
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
A#
I cut em all loose and work's my excuse
F
But the truth is I can't open up
[Chorus]
Dm
But you don't wanna be high like me
C
Never really knowing why like me
A#
You don't ever wanna step off
F
that roller coaster and be all alone
Dm
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
C
Never knowing who to trust like this
A#
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
F C A# F
All I know are sad songs, sad songs

Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
[Solo]
F C A# A#
[Verse]
F
I took a plane to my home town
C
I brought my pride and my guitar
A#
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
A#
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]
Dm
But you don't wanna be high like me
C
Never really knowing why like me
A#
You don't ever wanna step off
F
that roller coaster and be all alone
Dm
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
C
Never knowing who to trust like this
A#
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
F C A# F
All I know are sad songs, sad songs

Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
