Here  I go again, put me on the first train heading eastbound.
 And if by June I'm still alive,  I promise not to tell my dad I'm miserable
 but thanks  for all his sacrifice.
Cause  I'm ashamed of the things that I did,
 I said whatever  it took just to get her in bed and
It's  kinda fun when you're only a kid
 but you grow  up to learn that the scars you cut  are permanent
But  I haven't had one  drink in three whole years.
 There's no need for drinking  when you're not here.
Do  you find it amusing  I'm seeing clear?
 in this haze of  hateful atmosphere.
So  come on we're not fooling  anybody tonight
 We're the king and queen of social  suicide.
And  things are better now knowing that we've never found anyone  else.
 So take me out,  cause I'm a mess when I'm alone.
 and if anyone can help,  I think I'm losing it
 I grab  and hold on tightly  but i start to slip.
I've  got a problem with my self control, (Hold on)
I  fall in love when I'm with any girl. (Honest)
They  got it wrong saying love is blind it's  fine,
 It's just disguised as  sex tonight.
And  it's too hard  to deny.
 Cause she's got that dress  on,
 you know the one that  shows off the things that  she can do to me.
And  I'm taking lessons  how not to beg for  sex
 it's just a side  effect we're feeling  from the ectasy.
So  come on we're not getting any younger  tonight.
Your  the gracious host and I'm  the parasite.
It's  the simple act of growing  old
 mixed in with chemicals
 and we're the end  results, slow down...
 Cause I can tell when you're aroused,  (like now...)
 And as long as I'm alive
 I'll try to mend  this broken future (we call life)
I'm  feeling  better all the  time
(Pretend  you care for me tonight)
It's  safe to  say that I'll be fine,  this time
 BUILD UP
 So take me out,  cause I'm a mess when I'm  alone.
 And if anyone can help,  I'm losing it
 So this  one goes out,
 to all you lovestruck  fools
 I've got news  for you, I know a thing  or two on giving  up.
 To all you heartless  souls i think it's best  you know i play the leading
 role on giving  up
 To all you lovestruck  fools,
 we've got news  for you,We know a thing  or two on giving  up.
 To all you heartless  souls we think it's best  you know we play the leading
 role on giving  up.
 I'm only 80% sure this is correct, I'm currently trying to figure out the
 tab for this song but sadly my music player crashed so I'm currently having
 a hard time doing tabs (as I can't listen to the song...)
