[Intro]
G#m G#m G#m G#m
G#m G#m E B F#


[Verse 1]
G#m
   Through the straw the liquid pulls
C#m     F#
   Down down down it goes
B            G#m
  Toward the bottom through the icy terrain
C#m             F#    E       B
   We’re almost there keep sucking
   G#m          C#m   F#
Commiserate our shared  disgrace
    B  G#m            C#m F#   E   B
The ole   handshake reci----procate


[Refrain 1]
E     B       F#   G#m
  Downplay it or embrace it
E           B       F#
  Something you can choose
E     B      F#          G#m
  One blank stare into infinity
E      B        D#m D#m
  Everything to lose


[Chorus 1]
E                   C#m  G#m  B
  The nihilist runs in retreat
F#                     E
  His apathy born in defeat
B
  Yeah life is fleeting
    G#m
and hope is bittersweet
F#
  A consequence we can control
E           C#m     G#m C#m
  Or a dangerous animal
F#
Oh oh
B G#m C#m F# E B
Oh oh


[Verse 2]
G#m
   Trying is the first mistake
C#m         F#
   Cut them loose amputate
G#m
   Disconnect breakaway
C#m     F#       E   B
   Or inhale and aspirate


[Refrain 2]
E     B       F#   G#m
  Downplay it or embrace it
E           B       F#
  Something you can choose
E     B      F#          G#m
  One blank stare into infinity
E         B       D#m D#m
  Nothing left to lose


[Chorus 2]
E                  C#m    G#m B
  The absence of a love affair
F#                         E
  The disconnected without care
B
  Yeah life is fleeting
    G#m
and isn't always fair
F#
  Consequence out of control
E              C#m     G#m G#m
  Makes a dangerous animal
