VERSE:
There's a liar in your bed
And there's a shotgun to your head
You can't breathe but you can smoke
              N.C
You can't cry
But you can joke about it

VERSE:
You can drink yourself to chills
You can hide your little pills
As your life slowly explodes
You can believe nobody knows about it


BREAK:
         C
Do you think that you're the only one
E                    D
 Who's losing their minds
 C
Keeping it together
   B            A        E
Is  everyone's favorite pastime, well


CHORUS:
 A                    D
Everybody's had some really, really bad
       A                     D
Some this has got to be the end

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/melissa-etheridge/329533.html ]
You try so hard to be discreet
With all your secrets in the sheets
 As you solemnly refuse
The very spark that lights your fuse


BREAK:
         C                            E
Do you think that you're the only one
            D
Who can be unkind
 C
Tearing at each other's flesh
B               A        E
 Is everyone's favorite pastime, well


CHORUS:
 A                    D
Everybody's had some really, really bad
       A                     D
Some this has got to be the end
         A
I would really like to try for you
D
Sit around and cry for you
