Intro:

G G x4


G G
Cut it out -
Eb Eb
Your self-inflicted pain
Bb Bb
is getting too routine
D D
the crowds are catching on -
G G
to the self-inflicted song
Eb Eb
Well, here we go again -
Bb Bb
the art of acting weak
D D
Fall in love to fail -
G G
to boost your CD sales
Eb Eb
And that CD sells -
Bb Bb
yeah, what a hit
D D
You've got to repeat it, you gotta' sink to swim.


Eb Eb
If at first you don't succeed
D D
you gotta recreate your misery
Bb Bb
'cause we all know art is hard
D D
young artists have gotta starve
Eb Eb
Try, and fail, and try again
D D
the comforts of repetition
Bb Bb
Keep churning out those hits
D D
'til it's all the same old shit

G G x4
G G
Oh, a second verse!
Eb Eb
Well, color me fatigued
Bb Bb
I'm hiding in the leaves
D D
in the CD jacket sleeves
G G
tired of entertaining
Eb Eb
some double-dipped meaning
Bb Bb
a soft serve analogy
D D
This drunken angry slur
G G
in thirty-one flavors
G G
You gotta' sink to swim
G G
immerse yourself in rejection
G G
regurgitate some sorry tale
G G
about a boy who sells his love affairs
G G
You gotta' fake the pain
G G
you better make it sting
G G
you're gonna' break a leg
G G
when you get on stage
G G
and they scream your name
G G
"Oh, Cursive is so cool!"

Eb Eb, D D, Bb Bb, D D

Eb Eb
You gotta sink to swim
D D
impersonate greater persons
Bb Bb
'cause we all know art is hard
D D
when we don't know who we are

Eb Eb, D D, Eb Eb, D D x2

End on Eb Eb
