D9                   G
   Everyone's got a thing
                    Am
A thing they don't like
                        C
A thing that makes them stare in front of the sink
                    D9
With tears in their eyes
                G
Everyone's got a thing
                 Am
Maybe they won't cry
                      C
Maybe they can't even bear to utter the words
              D
The doctor prescribed
 
 
             Bm   Em
I won't even lie
                Am7          D9
I'm screaming inside all the time
                 B   Em
It seems like a breeze
                Am7    D9
It feels like a dream
                  G    Em  C  D9
But I don't wanna die
 
 
G
 She can't stop hurting herself and
Em
He won't look in your eyes
C
Friend, I knew every time you were lying
    D9
And he got himself messed up with the wrong guys
 
 
G                  Em
Everyone's got a thing
 
A thing they don't like
   C                                Am
A thing that makes them double-think when
          D9                                   B
They're standing at the railway crossing lights
 
 
              Em
Gotta stop forgetting the fact
              C                   D9
It's not just me in this goddamn world
   B                         Em
My brain is a child, I will love him for that
               Am                  D9
But don't lose sight of your baby girl
 
 
B                  Em
I don't wanna wake up sometimes
    Am             D9
And I don't wanna sing
B                     Em
And I don't care what happens tonight
   Am                 D9
As long as I feel something
 
 
 
B                  Em
(I don't wanna wake up sometimes
    Am             D9
And I don't wanna sing
B                     Em
And I don't care what happens tonight
   Am                 D9
As long as I feel something)
 
 
[Outro]
G (16 counts), A (4 counts), Am (4 counts),
C (8 counts), D9 (8 counts), G (8 counts),
Am (8 counts), C (8 counts), D9 (fade out- about 8 counts)

i always do this with a capo on the 3rd to fit my voice range, so if youre a soprano or alto id try that!
