Who  sold you  this anger
I  suspect  it was your  friends
Or  was it  a stranger
Convincing  you that  this was the  end-nd-nd
/
 REPEAT VERSE CHORDS
 And I would like to thank you
 For coming round and doing this
 My nights have been pretty painful
 Losing that pain was always the trick
/
 You always said that I was lying
 That I was just a selfish man
 But I all ready gave it all away
 So you can let go of my selfish hand
 So bye bye bye bye bye
 I ain't got time to watch you cry
 Cause I've been drinking seven hours now
 Sympathy is a waste of my high
 And I would like to say it hurts me (but it don't)
 That I don't know just what to do (but I do)
 But it don't hurt when you're just killing time
 I was killing time and I think that you knew
