 (Intro)
 (Verse)
You  almost always pick the best times
 to drop the worst  lines
 you almost made me cry again this time
 another false alarm
 red flashing lights
well  this time I'm not going to watch myself die
I  think I made it a game to play your game
 and let myself cry
 I buried myself alive on the inside
 so I could shut you out
 and let you go away for a  long time
 (Chorus)
I  guess it's ok I puked the day away
I  guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
 and if you want me back
 you're gonna have to ask
 (Verse)
I  think the chain broke away
 and I felt it the day that I had my own  time
 I took advantage of myself and felt fine
 but it was worth the night
 I caught an early flight and  I made it home
 (Chorus)
I  guess it's ok I puked the day away
I  guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
and  if you want me back
you're  gonna have to ask
nicer  than  that
nicer  than  that
 (Break) - Cadd9 the whole time. I fingerpick it personally.
with  my foot on your neck
 I finally have you
 right where I want you
 right where I want you
 right where I want you
 right where I want you
I  guess it's ok I puked the day away
I  guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way (your own way)
and  if you want me back
you're  gonna have to ask
 G (Fingerpicked until the end)
 nicer than that (I guess it's ok I puked the day away)
 nicer than that (I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way)
 and if you want me back
 you're gonna have to ask
 nicer than that
 nicer
