Thrifted Youth

  D            Bm
They say we're a lost cause
  G            A
Just corpses filled with fear and lust
  D           Bm
Trade all our love away
  Em         A
Because we never learned to trust

  D           Bm
We're sugar-coated sweethearts
  G               A
Swimming through pools of toxic waste
  D        Bm
The acid burns our throats but
  Em           A
We've grown accustomed to the taste


[Pre-Chorus]
 G               A
We're just too cynical
 D               Bm
'Cause we're so easy to replace
 G         A
Regifted thrifted youth
 D         Bm
But it was all a waste


[Chorus]
         Em                   A                D       Bm
'Cause we're just laughing 'cause we feel like crying
Em                A                   D       Bm
Pretend we don't care but we're all lying

Em                  A
They say we're all self-obsessed
         D                   Bm
'Cause we're in love with loneliness
Em                  A        D        Bm
Who knew fear could be so unifying?


[Verse 2]
D            Bm
We hold each other's noses
G             A
'Til our faces turn blue
D            Bm
But I don't mind the pain
Em            A
If my lungs burn with you

D             Bm
Our self-destructive nature
G           A
Is all that we have ever known
D           Bm
Poison each other slowly
Em           A
But at least we won't die alone


[Pre-Chorus]
 G               A
We're just too cynical
 D               Bm
'Cause we're so easy to replace
 G         A
Regifted thrifted youth
 D         Bm
But it was all a waste


[Chorus]
         Em                   A                D       Bm
'Cause we're just laughing 'cause we feel like crying
Em                A                   D       Bm
Pretend we don't care but we're all lying

Em                  A
They say we're all self-obsessed
         D                   Bm
'Cause we're in love with loneliness
Em                  A        D        Bm
Who knew fear could be so unifying?


[Bridge]
Em                   A
Don't you know that sad is trending?
D                     Bm
'Cause we're all sick of pretending
Em         A              D            Bm
Nowadays nobody wants to hear about a happy ending (2x)

   Bm             Bm
Happy ending, happy ending


[Chorus]
         Em                   A                D       Bm
'Cause we're just laughing 'cause we feel like crying
Em                A                   D       Bm
Pretend we don't care but we're all lying

Em                  A
They say we're all self-obsessed
         D                   Bm
'Cause we're in love with loneliness


[Outro]
     Em                   A             D     Bm
And they know that we're not afraid of dying
