[Verse]
        Asus2
You can take back all your secrets
We'll divide up all the lies
             F#m
Keep all the pictures in their frames
Just cut me out, yeah, I'll be fine
         Bm
Sell the neighbors all my feelings
Go on give away my pride
             D                                Dsus2
It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night
 
          Asus2
Keep your rolodex of friends
And all the remnants can be mind
                 F#m
I guess there'll be no happy endings
When "once upon" is doing time
          Bm
There's a different kind of meaning now
To livin' on a prayer
D
Some don't seem to notice
And the rest don't seem to care
 
[Chorus]
                 Asus2
I tell myself I (feel no pain)
                         F#m
But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)
Can't walk away
   Bm
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
    D                                     Dsus2
When you're the needle running through my veins
                        Asus2
I've changed my name to novocaine
 
[Verse]
 
You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let's get this straight)
              F#m
You burned my favorite sweats from high school 
Tried to sell my muscle car (that's not OK)
             Bm
You're mother's gonna visit for a couple months this year
             D
They say you do the crime, you do the time
           Dsus2
It's all so clear
 
[Chorus]
                 Asus2
I tell myself I (feel no pain)
                         F#m
But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)
Can't walk away
   Bm
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
    D                                     Dsus2
When you're the needle running through my veins
                        Asus2       F#m
I've changed my name to novocaine, novocaine
 
[Solo]
Asus2 F#m
 
[Bridge]
     G
Well things ain't what they used to be
       D
It's a sleepless, self-help century
           Bm                        G
I'm up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man in me...
 
 
[Chorus]
                 Asus2
I tell myself I (feel no pain)
                         F#m
But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)
Can't walk away
   Bm
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
    D                                     Dsus2
When you're the needle running through my veins
                        Asus2       F#m
I've changed my name to novocaine, novocaine
 
 Asus2       F#m         Asus2        F#m  Asus2  F#m  Asus2...
novocaine, novocaine, I (feel no pain)
