Something to someone
They say something I don't wanna hear
Ringin' like a shotgun in my ear
But they don't know what I'm really aimin' for
Gonna leave a mark on society

BRIDGE:
Faster and faster my whole situation 
Fallin' apart, crossin' my heart
And I hope to live
But something has to give

CHORUS:
'Cuz I just wanna be something
I just wanna be someone
Someone who stands out in the crowd
Mother would be proud
Something to someone

These days gettin' shorter by the year
Tickin' like a time bomb loud and clear

BRIDGE 2:
Faster and faster the whole situation
Fallin' apart, straight from the heart
Then I sing my song
And I'll prove them wrong

CHORUS

((guitar solo))

BRIDGE 3:
Faster and faster my own situation
Rollin' along, provin' you wrong
And you can't believe
What you see when you're lookin' at me...

CHORUS x 2

Somethin' to someone x 2
The last time again
I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
Sick and tired of all the promises that I make to you   
And I break to you   
And I know you think you've heard it all before   
Something tells me that you think I'm stupid when I say to you   
That what I say is true   
Too much lyin', too little tryin'

CHORUS:  
This time is gonna be the last time  
The last time again   
This time is gonna be the last time   
The last time again

Well I don't wanna be redundant anymore
Skippin' like a broken record you can play again   
But I'll do it all again   
Put it behind me, then you rewind me

CHORUS

[[guitar solo]]

Once again   
I must have been   
Tryin' to wash away the sin   
Cuz I wake up   
Bathroom floor   
I won't do this anymore   
...starting tomorrow

CHORUS    X 2
Addicted
She calls me up  
Says she's comin' over   
So I run home  
(oooh-ooh) 
Just to wait around    
She calls me names  
Then we play some mind games    
And I don't know  
(oooh-ooh) 
But I think I like it

Now she's the only one 
Who blocks my number 
And she's the only one call

CHORUS:
[Yeah, oh yeah] 
What's wrong with me?  
[Yeah, oh yeah]  
Why can't I see?  
[Yeah, oh yeah]  
I'm so addicted to you...and you're such a dick to me

She flies me out  
Got a big surprise planned   
In Chicago  
(oooh-ooh)  
That's my kinda town   

She says she's been a ho  
Had to let me know   
On the Jerry Springer Show

CHORUS

[[guitar solo]]

I wrap myself
Around her little finger
And she gives me the middle one

CHORUS

She calls and I come runnin' back   
I call, she never calls me back   
What's wrong with me  
I'm so addicted to you...and you're such a dick to me
Lipstick & bruises
You kiss me on the way up
Kick me when I fall down
Under the radar
Stick me in the lost and found
Lipstick and bruises
Up and down

CHORUS:
This is what you always wanted
It's what you asked for
This is what you always wanted
And now you want more

Now these are all your new friends
Baby, you're a rock star now
Runnin' with the devil
Kiss me when the lights go down
Lipstick and bruises
Up and down

CHORUS

((guitar solo))

Kiss me when the lights go down
Lipstick and bruises
Up and down

This is what you always wanted
It's what you asked for
This is what you always wanted
And now you want more
And now you want more
And now you want more
It's what you wanted
It's what you needed
And now you want more


Happy in the meantime
It's just another reason why
It all comes down to you and I
Just have another drink
Waste some time with me
We're happy in the meantime

I've gotta make up for losin' time
Cuz I've been spinnin' my wheels all night
And I can't wait
Can't hardly wait to see you
Things seem better off now
I think I'm better off now

CHORUS:
It's just another reason why
It all comes down to you and I
Just have another drink
Waste some time with me
We're happy in the meantime

I guess the rain's gonna follow me
Cuz it's been droppin' in ???
And I can't wait
Can't hardly wait to see if
Things seem better off now
I think I'm better off now

CHORUS

Well save a little rain
And wash away the pain
I'll try and keep it clean
I'll show you what I mean
I don't wanna keep you holdin' on
Cuz in the morning I'll be gone
So long   

[[guitar solo]]

CHORUS x 2, "We're happy in the meantime" X3
Drop d
Got a tattoo   
Got it colored in with blue  
Cuz it's a picture of your cold, sad face   
And now it's true  
We're probably better off apart 
And we knew it from the start 
That you never wanna stop  
Wanting me wanting you no

Get up I think it's time for you to go   
I don't know why you stay or what you're waiting for

CHORUS:  
I'll get by   
As long as you want me  
I'll be fine  
As long as you need me  
As long as you leave me

Got a new shirt 
Tryin' to cover up the hurt 
Cuz I don't ever wanna show you what you did 
And now it's done  
We're so much better off in bed  
But we're fucked up in the head 
And we never wanna stop 
Wanting more 
Such a whore no

Get up and let me watch you dance some more   
We both know why you came and what you're looking for

CHORUS

[[guitar solo]]

Never wanna stop never wanna stop  X 2

CHORUS 
Sunny weather
I've got a hundred thousand watts, hundred thousand dollar stereo  
Surrounded by speakers but I'm mono as hell   
Got a hundred sad songs about the day that you walked out  
And I'm feeling so down   
It's just a bad situation  

I wish that I could say that...

CHORUS:   
I don't care about the sunny weather   
Don't care about the sex when we're together   
Don't care about nothing if you don't care 

Why don'tcha?

I've got a lotta new drugs but I don't know how to use 'em  
So I threw 'em in the trash and now my dogs are high as hell 
Got a hundred better reasons why you oughta stick around 
And I'll never back down  
It's just another situation

I can't control it now...

CHORUS

I'd give it all away for you   
For just another day with you   
What am I gonna do   
I don't care about nothin'   X 3 
If you don't care  

CHORUS

I don't care about the sunny weather   
Don't care and man I wish I never met her   
Don't care about nothin' if you don't care
Next time around
Well I'm dreaming 'bout a Cadillac   
And a girl that I used to have   
But I know that I could never go back   
To the day we took a photograph   
That I'm holdin' in my hand   
I can't believe I messed it up so bad   
If I get another chance   
I'd never waste it yeah  
I swear I'll be a better man   

CHORUS:
And I'll tell you right now  
We'll make it up next time around 
Yeah!  
I'll pick you up and never put you down  
Next time around  
Yeah!  
I'll lift you up and never let you down

Now I'm thinkin' bout the good times  
All the friends that I used to know  
And they always said they'd have my back   
But now I'm flyin' solo  
All alone again I stand  
I can't believe I messed it so bad  
If I had another chance   
I'd never waste it yeah 
I'll try and be a better man

CHORUS

[[guitar solo]]

CHORUS X 2

Next time around...
Slip
I shoulda called but it was late and you were sleeping, my dear    
I would hate for you to hear what I was putting you through   
I'm tryin' hard to be the man I know that you think I am  
I'm really glad you weren't there but now I wish you were here

BRIDGE:   
Cuz we're so wonderful   
And so untouchable  
And just when I thought it was under control   
Everything just starts to...

The pillow burns I toss & turn from all of the things I say   
You should've known better than to ever listen to me  

BRIDGE

CHORUS:  
Slip 
Right through my fingers  
Finding it's way to the tips  
Well I'll try and forget  
But all that I taste is your lips  
Cryin' & kissin' me

[[guitar solo]]

BRIDGE 2:
We're so wonderful   
And so untouchable   
You're the biggest part of me     
We're so wonderful   
And so untouchable   
And just when I thought it was under control  
Everything....  
Everything....

CHORUS X 2
She comes
Common sense   
Goes out the window like a cigarette   
I take a hit again   
When all her friends  
They talk about me in a past tense  
I take the hit again

BRIDGE:
She walks in in the middle of the night   
Like we're good to go  
All screwed up but it just feels right  
And I don't wanna know where you go   
Or how we went wrong  
And when I think I can't go on

CHORUS:  
She comes 
And she comes  
But when she goes she always takes away the best of me  
She comes 
And she comes 
And when she's done I'm left with nothin' but the rest of me  

Ignorance   
My only explanation for this mess  
I think about it when  
We're on the fence  
Between what is and what it should've been  
I take the hit again

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Whatever she does    
I always come undone

[[guitar solo]]

CHORUS

Whatever she does    
I always come undone

I always come undone
Live for this
I've been fallin' apart at the seams    
But it's not as it seems  
Broken pieces around at my feet  
That I dance on   
In my darkest day   
In my darkest day  I can find you   
We've come all this way   
And I'm still runnin' after it  
Yeah

CHORUS:  
I, I, live for this  
I, I, I'd trade it for nothin'

I've been waiting for someone like you   
To be waiting for me   
This is more than I ever dreamed  
And I dream on   
I wish I could stay  
I wish I could stay 
Right beside you   
We've come all this way   
And I'm still lookin' after you

CHORUS

[[guitar solo]]

In my darkest day 
In my darkest day   
I can find you   
We've come all this way  
And I'm still runnin' after it  
Yeah  

Solo: A Jay :  I, I, live for this  I, I...

I'd trade it for nothin

CHORUS
Over my head

I'm in over my head
They wanna try and build me up
So they can tear me down
I wish that I could be back there
But I'm writing here right now

They've taken everything that I've had to give and
They say it's over but man I'm still here livin
I don't know what to do, I think that maybe

I'm in over my head
Stuck in the red
Somethin they said
Makes me think that I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head

I've got to get away from here
And it couldn't be too soon
Cuz I see the stars are here with me
Like rockets to the moon

You take me everywhere that I've never been and
Show me the meaning of what life had to give and
I don't know what to say, I think that maybe

I'm in over my head
Lyin in her bed
Somethin she said
Makes me think that I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head

They've taken everything that I've had to give and
They say it's over but man I'm still here livin
I don't know what to do, I think that maybe

I'm in over my head
Stuck in the red
Somethin they said
Makes me think that I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head

My own worst enemy
Can we forget about the things 
I said when I was drunk
I didn't mean to call you that
I can't remember what was said 
Or what you threw at me

Chorus:
Please tell me
Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard
And I"m sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night
And you're gone

Its no surprise to me 
I am my own worst enemy
Cuz every now and then I kick
the living shit out of me
The smoke alarm is going off and 
There's a ciggarette
Still burning....

Repeat Chorus 2x
