D         
They told me to unload my problems,
A 
get them out of my head, 
Em
to the people in graveyards,
G 
cause I can't bore them to death. 
D
Cause you're rhetorically brilliant, 
A
it's sufficient at best, 
Em
and your words can paint a picture,
G 
and they've made quite a mess. 
  
D
The people around you, 
A
they'll all be gone soon- 
Em
and it will be worth it, 
G
everything you went through.
D 
It's so superficial, 
A
it doesn't matter at all- 
Em
give in, and get over it,
G 
you'll thrive and you'll fall. 
 
 (Same throughout entire song btw)
 
Yeah I've started lots of fires, 
yeah I've set some things ablaze, 
and the only things left to exstinguish- 
are all these poetic flames. 
This hometown hero's burning, 
it's getting too hot to think, 
and the only hose aimed to save this town, 
ran dry with alarming speed. 
  
The people around you, 
they'll all be gone soon- 
and it will be worth it, 
everything you went through. 
It's so superficial, 
it doesn't matter at all- 
give in, and get over it, 
you'll thrive and you'll fall.
