Verse One:
GI am the pain that bleeds through your temples 

Every morning when you wake up 
EmI am the boy with alcohol poisoning 
GFrom all the parties Chris would throw
 
That summer that they took us in 

Like every other American 
EmFor getting drunk in back of the Lion's Club 
G                                        DWaiting for the shitty bands to finish up 
                 Em              DThen some kids played hacky sack 
                           CWhile the others just got high 


Interlude: G Em G D Em D C


Verse 2:
GIt's not hard to fall for a waitress 

When you both smoke 

Smoke the same cigarettes 
EmYou'll get seated as diners lovers
G You'll get the check that Scranton's for the better 
D                                 Em        You'll carve your names into the Parpat Cliffs 
           D                  CJust read them when you get old enough to know
 
That happiness is just a moment

C         G       Em   CYou can take it back

                 D                          EmLike when they caught you in the CVS parking lot 
       CBut I fed the liars, I fed the liars, I fed the liars
G Everything I got 
EmEverything I got
      Cin my cabinet brain 
     GOf canned thoughts 
     GEverything I've got 
          EmIt was everything I've got 
         CIn my cabinet brain, in my cabinet brain
