Bm                    A                    E
Well don't give me no comic book sad looks no more,
Bm           A         E                           Bm
please don't use those same excuses you've used before,
A    E
mmmh mhhmmm,
Bm                A                    E
you told yourself so many times it's okay,
Bm            A                            E
so be good to try  but you just don't know how to come back down,
