Pale Beneath The Tan Squeeze

D       Bm
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!


[Verse 1]
           D
Squeeze my arms a little tighter
       F#m
Let me know I'm still alive
                 Bm                            A
Cause you're the only one here keeping both my eyes open tonight
      D
And I know that we got problems
        F#m
Who are they to criticize
     Bm                                A
If I tell you all my secrets would you tell me all your lies
           D
And when I stop writing her letters
              F#m
I want her to know that it's because
       Bm                                   A
I have someone that makes me feel the same exact way that she does
           D                                 F#m
And I will not deny the privilege to someone else who wants my love
       Bm                                     A
I have stitched a mask of confidence and I'll wear it like a glove


[Chorus]
      G                                 Em
And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today
              G                                     Em
He said that no ones going to listen until you mean every word you say
      G                               Em
So if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie
           G                                      Em
And if you know we're gonna fail, then there's no point to even try
               D          F#m              Bm               A
No point to try, no point try, no point to try, no point to try


[Verse 2]
D                               F#m
I don't get it for real, this is blowing my mind
        Bm                                 A
We keep saying we're unhappy and they keep saying that we're fine
        D                              F#m
I guess pain will be the only thing I ever get to bring
           Bm                                     A
But I will send it through the air like a loosely gripped baseball bat swing
           D                                    F#m
All I ever wanted was something different, maybe by another name
         Bm                              A
We could set ourselves on fire, there is cleansing in the flame


[Chorus]
G
So keep clapping and dancing
         Em                                    G
Let them know you're still alive and if you're tired of giving up
                   Em
At least make them think that you survived
        G                              Em
So keep laughing, its not funny but at least you don't have to cry
         G                              Em
When you wake up in the morning and you know you're still alive
             D                            F#
You're still alive, you know you're still alive
             Bm                     A
You're still alive, you know you're still alive


[Bridge]
         D                  A
Until we break down, til we shut down
          D                                     A
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground
         D                  A
Until we break down, til we shut down
          D                                     A
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground
         D                  A
Until we break down, til we shut down
          D                                    A
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground


[Chorus]
      G                                 Em
And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today
             G                                      Em
He said that no ones going to listen until you mean every word you say
      G                                 Em
So if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie
           G                                          Em
And if you know we're gonna fail, then there's little point to even try
                G
Little point to try
