                       Fm               
I wanna hang with my friends
  Ab               C            Eb
Cause I'm feeling down again
          Fm                        Ab
Yeah my body's still bleeding from back
C                        Eb
stabs and beatings but that happens now and again

[verse]
                 Fm             
The party never ends
  Ab               C            Eb
And if I didn't hang with them
               Fm               
Who would be there to lie for me,
Ab                         C                  Eb
say they would die for me, message my girl in DM

[chorus]
Fm      Ab      C
They think I'm a fool
Eb
(My trust never falters)
Fm      Ab      C
I seem so confused
Eb
(The rope's getting longer)
Fm      Ab      C
I can't stand the truth
Eb
(So I play pretend)
Fm      Ab      C
Tighten up your noose
NC                              Fm      Ab      C       Ab
And I'll hang with my friends

  Ab               C            Eb
Cause I put my trust in them
               Fm       
But we'll question our loyalty,
Ab                         C                  Eb
turn on our boys, we see one pretty girl come around

Fm              Ab
The party never ends
C               Eb
And if I didn't hang with them
Fm              Ab
Who would be there to placate me,
C               Eb
fool me with safety, and pour all that booze in my mouth

People say we're shady and we're shallow
Bbm             Db              F               Ab
But I can take the words and sticks and stones
Bbm             Db              F               Ab
Even if they walk me to the gallows
Bbm             Db              Eb
At least I know I'll never walk alone
Nc
Alone
