Capo 2 fret

[Intro]
Dm F
 
Am            C               F     Dm
  I found the cure to growing older
    Am                         C         F     Dm
And you're the only place that feels like home
            Am                      C
Just so you know, you'll never know
         F               Dm
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
Am                C               F     Dm
  But I found the cure to growing older

[Verse 1]
Am               C            F                         Dm
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
         Am         C               F             Dm
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
             Am        C       F    Dm
And I've got arrogance down to a science
        Am               C            F                       Dm
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends now
 
[Chorus]
Dm F
 
Am                    C             Dm          F
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's  so fitting, so fitting
       Am          G                F                  C
of the way you are - can't cover it up, can't cover it up
   Am                    C               Dm            F
So douse yourself in cheap perfume, it's so, so fitting, so fitting
       Am          G                F                  C
of the way you are - can't cover it up, can't cover it up

[Verse 2]
Am               C               F                Dm
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
            Am              C          F                     Dm
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
             Am            C      F                  Dm
Back to your family 'cause I know you will be missed
           Am                C
So you can find a safe place - brace yourself
F             Dm         Am           C             F
 They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
         Dm               Am           C            F
But, for what we've become, we just feel more alone
       Dm                 Am           C       F
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
   Dm             Am         C            F   Dm
So progress report: I am missing you to death
 
[Chorus]
Dm F
 
Am                    C             Dm          F
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's  so fitting, so fitting
       Am          G                F                  C
of the way you are - can't cover it up, can't cover it up
   Am                    C               Dm            F
So douse yourself in cheap perfume, it's so, so fitting, so fitting
       Am          G                F                  C
of the way you are - can't cover it up, can't cover it up
