   you should try not to sleep with your best friend's boyfriend
       E5      Em7            E5            Em7
You've come so far since that time when you let

And you do it so carelessly,
E5                           A5
as if you had no self esteem
E5                 A5
A victim of apathy
              E5                             A5

enjoy it with your backside on the ground
E5             Em7  E5                 Em7
but you should know that it's not your fault
            E5        Em7  E5
your father killed himself

Dear Claudia,
Em7       E5            Em7     E5      Em7    E5
you leave pieces of you in each bed you lay in
Em7 E5
and when you're done
Em7           E5            Em7          E5   Em7 E5
there will be somebody else wearing your skin

        E5                  A5
And you do it so carelessly,
E5                           A5
as if you had no self esteem
E5                 A5
A victim of apathy

enjoy it with your backside on the ground

Am                    G                  F
I will lay your fears right here next to mine

and when we close our eyes, we'll be entwined
