Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am - E - | F - C Gadd11 | Am - E - | F - C Gadd11 |
| Am - E - | F - C Gadd11 | Am - E - | F - C Gadd11 |

[Verse 1]
Am                E              F        C Gadd11
  I've gotten good at leaning on metaphors
Am                E             F                  C Gadd11
  I've gotten good at living on someone else's page
F              Ab              Am        E
 I cut my teeth  on secondhand sentiments
               F         Fm         Am E
You can't trust a single thing I say

[Pre-Verse]
| F - C Gadd11 | Am - E - | F - C Gadd11 |

[Verse 2]
Am             E           F        C Gadd11
  I keep my closet free of skeletons
Am                E                       F C Gadd11
  'Cause I'm much better at digging graves
F             Ab                   Am      E
 But I always dig up bones in your sympathy
             F         Fm           Am E
I can't trust a single thing you say

[Pre-Verse]
                               | F - C Gadd11 |
| Am - E - |

[Bridge]
F C Gadd11      F
          Don't look too hard,
Ab
  'cause you
Am             E        F    Fm Am E
Won't like the scars he left in me

[Solo]
                          | F - C Gadd11 | Am - E - |
| F - C Gadd11 | Am - E - | F - C Gadd11 | Am - E - |
| F - C Gadd11 |

[Verse 3]
Am                E             F        C Gadd11
  I've gotten good at making up metaphors
Am                E                       F            C Gadd11
  I've gotten good at stretching the truth out of shape
    F              Ab              Am         E
And all these words  are sweet and meaningless
               F         Fm         Am E
You can't trust a single thing I say

[Outro]
F
C Gadd11           Am         E          F C
  You   can't trust  a single thing I say
Gadd11           Am         E          F C
You   can't trust  a single thing I say
Gadd11           Am         E
You   can't trust  a single thing I say
F C Gadd11 F Ab Am
