Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Lead Guitar and Viola play the intro riff in the background throughout the rest of the song.

Verse 1

 And We're all dressed up, no place to run

 No car, no girl, no pills, no fun

 Nothing to do in this empty room

 I gotta get my head together soon

Alone again, no plans, no friends

 You come around at half past ten

 And say "How are you holding up my friend?

 Are you sitting around getting drunk again?"

Chorus 1

 And I hear the desperation of those lines

 Wasted hours, all this wasted time

Yeah, I been just fine!

Verse 2

 And we're out the door in an hour more

 We stumble down from the second floor

 And we're swaying and braying

 We don't know what we're saying

 And you grab my shirt, your way so curt

 I swear to God that this doesn't hurt

 When you stare like that, you put on that act

 You say something and then you take it back

Chorus 2

 And I feel as though I've done something wrong

 Oh, how I miss you when you are gone

Interlude

Verse 3

 And I wish I had the guts to scream

 You know, things aren't always what they seem

 When you walk away, I want you to stay

 Don't leave me here to pace and pray

 All these nights I burned, hours I turned

 You'd think that by now I'd learned

 That you're only what you pretend to be

 I guess that was just lost on me

Chorus 3

 And I can't stand the way you look at me in that dress

 Oh Papillon, I might be alright I guess

If I wasn't such a mess

Outro

same chords as verse):

I'm such a mess

I'm such a mess

I'm such a mess

I'm such a mess
