[Verse 1]
G
I took a pill in Ibiza
Dsus4 D
To show Avicii I was cool
C
And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older
G
But fuck it, it was something to do
G
I'm living out in LA
Dsus4 D
I drive a sports car just to prove
Cadd9
I'm a real big baller cause I made a million dollars
G
And I spend it on girls and shoes
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7
But you don't wanna be high like me
D
Never really knowing why like me
Cadd9 G
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
Em7
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
D
Never knowing who to trust like this
Cadd9
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Cadd9
Stuck up on that stage singing
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9 G
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
G D Cadd9 G
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
[Verse 2]
G D Dsus4
I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
Cadd9
I get along with old timers
G
Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
G
And I can't keep a girl, no
D
Cause as soon as the sun comes up
Cadd9
I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
G (D/F#)
But the truth is I can't open up
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em7
But you don't wanna be high like me
D
Never really knowing why like me
Cadd9 G
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
Em7
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
D
Never knowing who to trust like this
Cadd9
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Cadd9
Stuck up on that stage singing
[Chorus 2]
G D Cadd9 G
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
G D Cadd9 G
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
[Solo]
| G | D | Cadd9 | Cadd9 |
[Verse 3]
G
I took a plane to my home town
Dsus4 D
I brought my pride and my guitar
Cadd9
All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns
G
And the people still think I'm a star
G
I walked around downtown
D
I met some fans on Lafayette
Cadd9
They said tell us how to make it cause we're getting real impatient
G (D/F#)
So I looked 'em in the eye and said
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Em7
But you don't wanna be high like me
D
Never really knowing why like me
Cadd9 G
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
Em7
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
D
Never knowing who to trust like this
Cadd9
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Cadd9
Stuck up on that stage singing
[Chorus 3]
G D Cadd9 G
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
G D Cadd9 G
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
