Come along with me now 'cause there are
Things I've been dying to tell you
The best or the worst things that you
Never needed to know
This is the kind of comedy where no one's
Laughing 'cause it's hard to...
I'm a punch line who's punch-drunk with my
Fist in a broken mirror...
There's a party near by
I can hear
Laughter in the distance and it all comes clear
Sounds too simple, but love is the only answer
Everything else is just a train-wreck
Gonna stay up all night every night for the rest of my life
Till the lines around my eyes grow deeper and more defined
You might ask me "Aren't you dead inside and so damn tired?"
I say i have no idea but I'm not sleeping until after the
dying is over I can hear
Laughter in the distance and it all comes clear
Sounds too simple, but love is the only answer
Love's a trainwreck, you're a mistake
Sometimes it's more convenient to play the barre chord than the open chord.
Also, at the end of the lines in the verses, he likes to play the C(note, not chord)
the A chord (second fret on the b string if you're playing an open A chord or sixth fret
the g string if you're playing the barre chord.
If this doesn't make sense, disregard it.
