Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year

[Chorus]
    B                F#/A#
Are we growing up or just going down?
            E                          G#m       E
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
         B                  F#/A#
Take our tears, put them on ice  
              E
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the
light

[Verse 1]
               G#m  F#
We're the therapists
E        F#           B/F#
 pumping through your speakers
G#m F# E        F#       B/F#
Delivering just what you need
          G#m F# E    F#    B/F#
We're wellread    and poised
               G#m F# E F# B/F#                  G#m F#
We're the best boys            We're the chemists
E       F#        B/F#
 who've found the formula
G#m     F#   E     F#        B/F#
To make your heart swell and burst
G#m  F#   E         F# B/F#
No matter what they say
                G#m F# E
Don't believe a word

[Pre-Chorus]
F#
B/F#       E                     F#              C#m
    'Cause I'll keep singing this  lie if you'll keep
            B
believing it
E                     F#
I'll keep singing this  lie,
E                     F#
I'll keep singing this  lie

[Chorus]
    B                F#/A#
Are we growing up or just going down?
            E                          G#m       E
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
         B                  F#/A#
Take our tears, put them on ice  
               E                          G#m
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the
     E
light

[Verse 2]
G#m F# E F# B/F#              G#m F# E     F#
                We're traveled        like gypsies,
B/F#
only
G#m       F# E        F#       B/F#
With worse   luck and far less gold
      G#m      F#  E       F#  B/F#
We're the kids you used to love
                 G#m F# E
But then we grew old
F# B/F#                G#m F#
       We're the lifers
E     F#       B/F#
 here till the bitter end
G#m      F# E F#       B/F#
Condemned     from the start
G#m F#  E      F#      B/F#
Ashamed of the way the songs and the
     G#m   F#
Words   own
E    F#            B/F#
 the beating of our    hearts

[Pre-Chorus]
       E                     F#
'Cause I'll keep singing this  lie,
E                     F#
I'll keep singing this  lie

[Chorus]
    B                F#/A#
Are we growing up or just going down?
            E                          G#m       E
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
         B                  F#/A#
Take our tears, put them on ice  
              E                           G#m
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the
     E
light

[Post-Chorus]
              B                         F#/A#
And there's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
             E                        G#m       E
And there's another around to help us bend your trust
      B            F#/A#
Got a sunset in my veins
          E                            G#m      E    B
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay

[Interlude]
B
 The best part of "believe" is the "lie"
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
   G          A           B
So give in or just give up
The best part of "believe" is the "lie"
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
   G          A
So give in or just give up
    B            F#/A#              E
Are we growing up     or just going down?

[Chorus]
G#m
E    B                F#/A#
 Are we growing up or just going down?
            E                          G#m       E
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
         B                  F#/A#
Take our tears, put them on ice  
                   E
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the
light
