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