Intro

E5 Bsus2* C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

Verse 1

If you had a bad time at one of my parties
Well I wouldn't expect to be seeing you soon and that's fine
You have to know what and why
Those things make you happy
You have to know that a second guess ain't worth a try

Chorus

Just some words of advice
Maybe you've heard them before but here goes
Just be true to yourself if it lands you in hell at least now you know 
Loud and clear is your heart big and bright
Are the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down, why you're one of those things
I don't know 
No big deal,
Gotta go

Fill

E5 Bsus2* C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

Verse 2

If you're up to your ears in blood, sweat and wasted years
I'm hoping you're going to open your throat and just scream
You have to know who and why
Which ones miss you when you die
You have to know a second guess ain't worth the salt in your eye

Chorus

Just some words of advice
Maybe you've heard them before but here goes
Just be true to yourself if it lands you in hell at least now you know 
Loud and clear is your heart big and bright
Are the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down, why you're one of those things
I don't know 
no big deal -

Bridge

It just sits on my shoulders, you're breaking my neck
We get crazy with age, now you're under my bed
And it's dark 
all the time, all the time

Chorus

Just some words of advice
Maybe you've heard them before but here goes
Just be true to yourself if it lands you in hell at least now you know 
Loud and clear is your heart big and bright
are the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down, why you're one of those things
I don't know 
No big deal,
Here I go
