(same pattern as first verse)
We're the type, we live and learn, scatter my ashes then you smash the urn.
Into a broken room, with 25 doors that you can open.
And each time you open one, the other 24, they're explodin, explodin.
(same as above)
That's the thing about livin, when you get there you take what you're given
And all your best friends are people you just met.
You can take em or you leave em, they're sittin in this barroom,
but I guess that beats the hell outta lonliness,
sweet[C] l[D]onliness, sweet[C] l[D]onliness, sweet [C] [D] [G] [C] [G] [C] [D] [C] [D] [C] [D] [G] [C] [G]
