Intro

------------------

Verse 1

I stood by somebody else

 and then I stood by you

 I couldn't move my legs

 I didn't know what to do

 I fail to find the words

 I try hard to be cool

 I die to hear your voice it's

smoothly ringing in the room

Verse 2

I see you're a surgeon in the looks

 what could you possibly see in me

 I lost the job I had who picked

 me up when I'm in mom and dad's

 You know I'll let you cut me up

 I know you hate to see me bleed

 Is it the color of my blood

or me in the complete?

Chorus 1

18 They had it out for us and

 We were always set for a fall

 You saved 197--9 to me it was

 the end of the world

 Yeah right, we're

 safe we're cool

 I know you always wanted more

Pick me we're so

 clean we'll wake

 up when the worst is over

Interlude

----------------

Verse 3

Did I tell you I was premature?

 I'm not fit to follow rules

 I always fuck things up I guess

 that makes life more interesting

 You think that I'm absurd

 well certainly with you

 I am absolutely assured

I am ill conceived

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Interlude

Bridge

There is always something wrong

 but I need to see it through

I don't mean to be obsessed

 I don't need to be amused

 I can't stand to be a stain

 that needs to be removed

 If I sacrificed myself then

(hold)

I'd know I never knew you

Chorus 2

18 They had it out for us

 We were always set for a fall

 You saved 197--9 to me it was

 the end of the world

 Yeah right, we're

 safe we're cool

 I know you always

 set for fall

always set for fall

Chorus 3

18 They had it out for us

18 They had it out for us

 I know you always wanting more

Pick me we're so clean we'll

 wake up when the worst is over

Take me steering wheel to the

 cliff now we're going over

Kiss me kiss and bleed we'll

 wake up now the worst is over
