Capo 3
Em
I took a pill in Ibiza
Dsus4 D
To show Avicii I was cool
Cadd9 C
And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older
G
But fuck it, it was something to do
Em
I’m living out in LA
Dsus4 D
I drive a sports car just to prove
C
I’m a real big baller cause I made a million dollar
G
And I spend it on girls and shoes
Chorus:
Em
But you don’t wanna be high like me
D
Never really knowing why like me
Cadd9 G
You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
Em
You don’t wanna ride the bus like this
D
Never knowing who to trust like this
Cadd9
You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
G
Stuck up on that stage singing
Em D Cadd9 G
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Em D Cadd9 G
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
Verse:
Em D
I’m just a singer who already blew his shot
Cadd9
I get along with old timers
C G
Cause my name’s a reminder of a pop song people forgot
Em
And I can’t keep a girl, no
D
Cause as soon as the sun comes up
Cadd9 C
I cut em all loose and work’s my excuse
G
But the truth is I can’t open up
Chorus:
Em
But you don’t wanna be high like me
D
Never really knowing why like me
Cadd9 G
You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
Em
You don’t wanna ride the bus like this
D
Never knowing who to trust like this
Cadd9
You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
G
Stuck up on that stage singing
Em D Cadd9 G
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Em D Cadd9 G
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
G D Cadd9
Verse:
Em
I took a plane to my home town
D
I brought my pride and my guitar
Cadd9 C
All my friends are all gone but there’s manicured lawns
G
And the people still think I’m a star
Em
I walked around downtown
D
I met some fans in Lafayette
Cadd9 C
They said tell us how to make it cause we’re getting
real impatient
G
So I looked em in the eye and said
Chorus:
Em
But you don’t wanna be high like me
D
Never really knowing why like me
