"Roles Reversed"
my ear can't hold a pencil
and my mind can't keep a thought
and my arms aren't near strong enough
to hold the shit I got
but stop feeling sorry for me
that's great you got your sanity
but apologies are not what I need
I'm going out
I'm going out
to get my mind off you
I'll have a drink or two
I know this might be rough on you
don't worry I've been in your shoes
we've only got a friend to lose
this sucks, I think you know it too
the thrill of the chase caught up with me
they paid me back karmically
either I can't stand them or they don't want me
what do you think it means
I'm going out
I'm going out
to get my mind off you
I'll have a drink or two
cross my heart cross my eyes cross my fingers hope to die
bury me with the friends I've lost
they say that pain is the cost of love
(no one said this would be easy)
I knew it had to happen soon
just sucks it had to be with you
the songs that I once sang for you
I still sing them though the meaning's new
roles reversed and then press play
can't think of any thing to say
but how many times can one heart break
(how many pictures did we take)
I'm going out
I'm going out
to get my mind off you
I'll have a drink or two
I used these chords once before
an unfinished love song
cause I adored a boy
but not any more
