Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year

        B                       F#
Are we growing up? Or just going down,
                G#m                                     E   G#m  F#
it's just a matter of time until we're all found out.
        B               F#
Take our tears, put them on ice,
G#m
'cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light.

We're the therapists, pumping through your speakers,
G#m     E               F#      B
delivering just what you need.

We're well-read and poised,
                G#m     E       F#      B
we're the best boys.
                G#m     E       F#      B
We're the chemists, who found the formula,
G#m             E               F#      B
to make your heart swell and burst.

No matter what they say,

don't believe a word.
        G#m                             E
'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll
F#              B
keep believing it.

I’ll keep singing this lie…

I’ll keep singing this lie

Verse 2

G#m     E               F#              B
We traveled, like gypsies, only
G#m     E               F#              B
with worse luck and far less gold.
G#m     E                       F#      B
We're the kids you used to love
   G#m    E             F#      B
but then we grew old.
G#m     E       F#      B
We're the lifers here ‘til the bitter end
G#m     E               F#      B
condemned from the start.
G#m     E               F#      B
Ashamed of the way the songs

G#m     E               F#      B
and the words own the beating of our hearts.
G#m                             E
‘Cause I’ll keep singing this lie…
F#
I’ll keep singing this lie

There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
B               F#              G#m     E       G#m     F#
And another around to help us bend your trust.
B               F#              G#m             E
I've got a sunset in my veins
B                       F#                      G#m                     E
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay.

The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie",

I hope you sing along and you steal a line.
B
I need to keep you like this in my mind
G#m             F#
so give in or just give up.
