[Intro]
| F#m | - | A | - |
| F#m | - | A | - |
| F#m | - | A | - |

[Verse 1]
F#m
   You were
A
Modern girls always have to go
D
 Oldfashioned men always want a mistress
A
Modern girls always get their way
D
 Modern men dream of what they can't say
A
Right right right right right
          D
I don't belong

[Chorus]
Bm
Why you gotta say it if you know its sounding wrong
E
Says that he'll apologize and it won't take too long
    Bm                           E
And you don't wanna trust nobody else

[Verse 2]
A
 There's a few things that I have to change
D
 Everyone has the same opinion
A
 Your time is almost over
D
 We won't get the chance to do this over
A
Right right right right right
          D
I don't belong

[Chorus]
Bm
I don't want the imprint of your key upon my nose
E
We don't have to tell no one cause no one wants to know
    Bm                             E
But you don't want no happiness at all

[Interlude]
D A D A              D       A
       Oh yes, we're falling down
              D       A
Oh yes, we're falling down
              D       A
Oh yes, we're falling down
D                A
Yes we're falling down
              D       A
Oh yes, we're falling down
              D       A
Oh yes, we're falling down
              D       A
Oh yes, we're falling down
           D       A
So fucking help me up
Bm                        E
Always thinking 'bout yourself
Bm                        E
Always thinking 'bout yourself
Bm                        E
Always thinking 'bout yourself
F#m
Was I?
