[Verse 1]
F#m
Take a seat and listen close,
A
To my ghost story with no ghost
Bm
About someone who's diagnosed
A C#
About someone who wants another dose.
F#m
They sit alone at night
A
No one to hold no one to ask if they're alright
Bm
Cause that pillow can only be hugged so tight but
A C#
it's never enough and they can only suffer alive
F#m
But they won't say goodbye
A
Apparently they're at the so called prime of life
Bm
So when is it time
A C#
when is it time to die for them
[Chorus]
C# F#m
They don't have to care
A
It's not fair
B C#
they're always around, out on the town, not making a sound but everyone knows
F#m
They dont care
A
oh so unaware
B
There’s no reason to pretend
C#
because the fun will never end
[Post Chorus]

They dont care
[Verse 2]
F#m
Have you met them yet?
A
They’re not the type of person you can forget (you can forget)
Bm
But they’re not what they seem
A C#
Because they’re living a lie, that’s how they live the dream
F#m
They watch the same old view
A
Looking at the world from that lonely roof (that lonely roof)
Bm
There’s no time to cry, they’re preoccupied
A C#
With that ever looming thought that they want to- (AAAA)
[Chorus]

I don't think you're alright

you didn't listen once, why would you listen twice
Bm
and when you're out, everybody stares

cause you don't know, cause you don't care
F#m
I don't think you're alright
A
you didn't listen once, why would you listen twice
Bm
and when you're out, everybody stares
A C#
cause you don't know, cause you don't care
F#m
I don't think you're alright
A
you didn't listen once, why would you listen twice
Bm
and when you're out, everybody stares
A
cause you don't know, cause-

because your fun will never end
