CHORUS Tell me when the hell am i gonna get paid Cuz I’m overdue to throw it down the drain And I know you're never gonna appreciate me But that shit was due yesterday And I got my tabs to pay When am I gonna get paid V1 I line pockets that ain’t mine Zoomin out my mind What’s the use, where the hell am i Woke up sick today I turn up anyway As if I even have a choice PRE I make your world go round While you sit and drown me out But you’re gonna hear me now CHORUS Tell me when the hell am i gonna get paid Cuz I’m overdue to throw it down the drain And I know you're never gonna appreciate me But that shit was due yesterday And I got my tabs to pay When am I gonna get paid V2 My balance is bare I don’t have a prayer Work my fingers to their bones Screw it, this ain’t fair I'm leaving this nightmare Until you give me what I’m owed PRE I make your world go round While you sit and drown me out But you’re gonna hear me now CHORUS Tell me when the hell am i gonna get paid Cuz I’m overdue to throw it down the drain And I know you're never gonna appreciate me But that shit was due yesterday And I got my tabs to pay When am I gonna get paid M8 Gimme all that money I ain't tired for no reason honey Us out here, we ain’t treated right, it ain’t funny Got no time for anything you say Less talkin’ and more pay CHORUS Tell me when the hell am i gonna get paid Cuz I’m overdue to throw it down the drain And I know you're never gonna appreciate me But that shit was due yesterday And I got my tabs to pay When am I gonna get paid

V1 Stay there Sunlight on your shoulder Sit still Love me when we're older That orange slice on your lips I could get used to this CHORUS Late night swim I'm ready so Push me in Kiss me in the deep end And when we hit the bottom I'll hold my breath I'll hold my breathe We're deep in this So I'll hold my breath V2 Lie low Glide along the water Speak slow When we get to the altar A golden band, a rubber ring I could get used to this Midnight Tip toe on the tiles Ice wine Lie with me for a while I've struck gold, I reel you in I'm just not used to this CHORUS Late night swim I'm ready so Push me in Kiss me in the deep end And when we hit the bottom I'll hold my breath I'll hold my breathe We're deep in this So I'll hold my breath

V1 Somewhere past the finish line I can find you watching from the stands I've been living lonely nights But now I’m getting back to who I am PRE Let’s make them sweat Let’s make them scared CHORUS Move up now Don’t slow down Cuz they’ll close in on you Move up now Don’t slow down Cuz they’ll close in on you V2 I can be a cannonball Don’t give it a second thought I’m not here to lose it all I won’t give them what they want PRE Let’s make them sweat Let’s make them scared CHORUS Move up now Don’t slow down Cuz they’ll close in on you Move up now Don’t slow down Cuz they’ll close in on you M8 Step it up Hold my drink Don’t give up Stand by this Push me now I need this CHORUS Move up now Don’t slow down Cuz they’ll close in on you Move up now Don’t slow down Cuz they’ll close in on you

V1 My shoes have been by the door They’ve been wondering why I’m still here New coat has never been worn I’ve been aching to leave since last year PRE Since we’re out again Like we never left I got something to say CHORUS Will you be my day-to-day Hold me in that special way Meet me on the outside Make up for lost time Just be my day-to-day V2 We leave our shoes in the sand I’ve been wondering where you’ve been I put your head in my hands You’ve always stayed with me somehow PRE Since we’re out again Like we never left I got something to say CHORUS Will you be my day-to-day Hold me in that special way Meet me on the outside Make up for lost time Just be my day-to-day PRE I can’t be without you again Let me give you love I can’t be without you again Missed out on enough CHORUS Will you be my day-to-day Hold me in that special way Meet me on the outside Make up for lost time Just be my day-to-day

V1 Pack up the boxes with all our mistakes Wrap it and bind it in tight cellophane Carve it in side with your knife This belongs in the river Leave what you want in our old fireplace I’ve come prepared with the matches we saved From nights at the bar, fighting hard Light it up, let’s forget her It’s never felt better CHORUS Knowing we’re not okay It's time to start again Leaving the world we know But come moving day we’ll be so ready to go V2 Keys in the bowl, guitar on your back Take one last look at the stories we had Friends on the wall, dancing here in the hall But whatever Between all the floorboards we never repaired The past finds a way to remind us again It gets through the cracks, can’t relax And you just deserve better Just want to forget her CHORUS I know we’re not okay I’ts time to start again Leaving the world we know We’ve gotta let it go Oh and despite it all We’re breaking through the wall It was so long ago And come moving day we’ll be so ready to go M8 Loaded the boxes Goodbye fireplace Keys in the bowl And the floorboards can wait Hold my hand tight and we’ll just drive away Loaded the boxes Goodbye fireplace Keys in the bowl And the floorboards can wait Don’t lose your grip and maybe we can start again CHORUS I know we’re not okay I’ts time to start again Leaving the world we know We’ve gotta let it go Oh and despite it all We’re breaking through the wall It was so long ago And come moving day we’ll be so ready to go

V1 Ahead of the game Making your own way Don’t hesitate to Put them in their place There on the train Tie up your shoelace Ready up cuz You’re gonna get your way, get your way PRE Oh don’t you quit x3 Make them know your name This is it x2 CHORUS But in your head You know what you want then it’s gone Never there You’re here, then you’re not And you know You come and go V2 Getting in late Drowned by a new day Never changes All these faces stay the same PRE Oh don’t you quit x3 Make them know your name This is it x2 CHORUS But in your head You know what you want then it’s gone Never there You’re here, then you’re not And you know You come and go M8 You never try Make up your mind You come and go CHORUS But in your head You know what you want then it’s gone Never there You’re here, then you’re not And you know You come and go

V1 Can’t stop shaking I’m a dumpster waiting To explode on fire Any second, babe Tired and broken All these words unspoken I’m not ready To open the gates PRE Wait x2 I might need a little help I’m no good at reaching out Wait, wait up now CHORUS I don’t wanna be a burden, babe I don’t wanna kill the words you say I’m not ungrateful Just unstable and ashamed I don’t wanna be a Burden, burden, burden x3 Cuz you can’t carry me V2 Deep breath in and While these shadows spin Around the walls Take all Of my emptiness Words so heavy But my heart won’t let me Pull you in Unfair You don’t need this stress PRE Wait x2 I might need a little help I’m no good at reaching out Wait, wait up now CHORUS I don’t wanna be a burden, babe I don’t wanna kill the words you say I’m not ungrateful Just unstable and ashamed I don’t wanna be a Burden, burden, burden x3 Cuz you can’t carry me

V1 Static in the living room Sunday morning at my door I just wanna sit with you I don’t go to church no more Football where they park their cars Headlights out, there’s the alarm Climb a tree and make it ours Nettle rashs on your arm CHORUS Ring the bell Ready to run Little villains Just for Fun V2 Shout up to my balcony Drag our knuckles around the block Only one that’s nice to me Pretend we’re older but we’re not Trolley stranded on our street Hijack it, push me round Both our clothes are never clean Scuff our shoes along the ground CHORUS City streets Ready to burn Little villains Never learn M8 When I look back, you come rushing in Little villains back again x 4 CHORUS Ring the bell Ready to run Little villains Just for Fun City streets Ready to burn Little villains Never learn

V1 I’m a lightning bolt coming for you Deadset on the road I'm running to So let them do their worst, I bet they lose When the morning comes I’m ready to move CHORUS See what I do I dare you x2 V2 Feels like I’m on fire, everglow Bulletproof, I’ll take on every blow Try your very best to break the code Cuz there's pieces of me you could never know CHORUS See what I do I dare you x2 Fair warning, I’m coming through Moving on is overdue See what I do I dare you x2 M8 Bring on, bring on, bring on Bring on, bring on anyone x2 CHORUS See what I do I dare you x2 Fair warning, I’m coming through Moving on is overdue See what I do I dare you x2

V1 Come play in the valley with Oh don’t you leave I don’t like it at all when things change I’m nowhere close to perfect I'm so sorry If you go leave life would get so damn strange Don’t you even try CHORUS Cuz I don’t wanna say goodbye I don’t wanna say goodbye We flew too close to the sun So don’t undo the work we’ve done cuz I I don’t wanna say goodbye V2 Ashamed of the part of me That let this happen Still some things that I can’t understand But if you stick around I’m still up for the challenge Cuz you’ve made me the person I am No more tears to cry CHORUS Cuz I don’t wanna say goodbye I don’t wanna say goodbye We flew too close to the sun So don’t undo the work we’ve done cuz I I don’t wanna say goodbye M8 Maybe words can’t help no more But no harm if I try I’ll keep saying sorry for it all Forever, I x2 CHORUS Cuz I don’t wanna say goodbye I don’t wanna say goodbye We flew too close to the sun So don’t undo the work we’ve done cuz I I don’t wanna say goodbye x2
