You're tired all the time and it's no wonder why
Amaj7 E
And no it's not because we're up 'til three am every night
F#9
Ok maybe a little but let me paint you a scene

We hatch a plan and we don't care if we get caught

So we can kill him and it'll be worth it to me

If you're smiling in your mugshot

Weekends driving all over the island

High on mushrooms
Amaj7
Drunk on the floor of your dorm room
F#9
Crystals in the full moon
Amaj7
See you again
Real soon
