[Verse]
Dm
Can’t laugh, can’t cry,
can’t live, can’t die
                  F
Can’t do anything anymore
Dm
Can’t love, can’t breath,
can’t talk, can’t sleep
But I can’t seem
              F
to stay awake anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
What a time to be alive
Such a waste of fucking time

[Chorus]
Dm        F
Oh, gimme something
          Gm
to take the edge off
F                  Gm
Something to kick the night off
F                  Gm
Something to keep my mind off
Dm        F     Gm
This so called life
Dm        F
Oh, gimme something
          Gm
to take the edge off
F                  Gm
Something to kick the night off

Something to keep my mind off
