[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
              F#m
What was the point
                 B
Of all of those migraines
               E
If life's so short?
              C#m
Don't spend it my way
        F#m
Try to avoid
               B
A point, less time changed
              E
If you wanna see the world
                C#m
Don't take the highway

If you wanna dance again
You can dance again

Use a lifeline
Or the phone a friend

It'll take some time
It'll make you glad
    C#m
To have what you had again

That you didn't wanna get
involved
