Degenerates

[Chorus]
Eb                   Gm
My friends are degenerates
Cm                   Ab
But I'd never change them
Eb                      Gm
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Cm                     Eb Gm
Not the type for savin'

[Post-Chorus]
          | Cm - - Ab | Eb - - Gm | Cm - - Ab |

[Verse 1]
Why do we tend to hurt one another?
Cm
Ab  Eb                             Gm
  Dividin' up all the books by the covers
Cm Ab
Eb                                 Gm      Cm Ab
  Like it ain't hard enough simply bein' me
Eb                              Gm         Cm Ab
  Or could I sum you up just by what I see?

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
  In reality,
                                 Bdim7
everyone's a lot more complicated

[Chorus]
Eb                   Gm
My friends are degenerates
Cm                   Ab
But I'd never change them
Eb                      Gm
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Cm                     Eb     Gm
Not the type for savin'  Or so

[Post-Chorus]
        Cm Ab
they say
Eb     Gm        Cm Ab
  Or so  they say

[Verse 2]
Eb                            Gm
I get that look more than I remember
Cm
Ab Eb                                  Gm
   Turnin' your nose up while we're at dinner
Cm Ab
Eb                                 Gm          Cm Ab
  Like how can he afford somethin' that I want?
Eb
  Sold all your empathy,
        Gm          Cm Ab
tell me what it cost

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                                          Bdim7
  Character is who you are when no one's watchin'

[Chorus]
Eb                   Gm
My friends are degenerates
Cm                   Ab
But I'd never change them
Eb                      Gm
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
Cm                     Eb     Gm
Not the type for savin'  Or so

[Post-Chorus]
        Cm Ab
they say
Eb     Gm        Cm Ab
  Or so  they say

[Interlude]
Eb Ab Gm
Eb
  Like a moment of truth that you try to omit Consequences
        Ab
retained
             Gm          Eb
for the judgement ya give
When you finally find you're the degenerate
                           Eb
It's gonna hit like a brick
Ab Gm Eb Ab Bb
Eb                                         Ab Gm
  Like it ain't hard enough simply bein' me
Eb                                         Ab Bb
  Or could I sum you up just by what I see?

Eb                      Gm
Liars, cheats, and hypocrites
