[Verse]
      
                  G
I took a pill in Ibiza
        D
To show Avicii I was cool
           C
And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older
     G
But fuck it, it was something to do
                  G
I'm living out in LA
          D
I drive a sports car just to prove
       C                       
I'm a real big baller cause I made a million dollars
      G                    
And I spend it on girls and shoes
[Chorus]
                       Em
But you don't wanna be high like me
                      D
Never really knowing why like me
                     C                                       G
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
                         Em
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
                     D
Never knowing who to trust like this
                   C
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
G
Stuck up on that stage singing
G     D        C          G
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
         G     D            C          G
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
[Verse 2]
      
           G
I'm just a singer
     D
who already blew his shot
      C   
I get along with old timers,
                                G
Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
  
                   G
And I can't keep a girl, no
         D
Cause as soon as the sun comes up
  C                       
I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
        G                    
But the truth is I can't open up
[Chorus]
                       Em
But you don't wanna be high like me
                      D
Never really knowing why like me
                     C                                       G
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
                         Em
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
                     D
Never knowing who to trust like this
                   C
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
G
Stuck up on that stage singing
G     D        C          G
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
         G     D            C          G
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

[Verse 3]
      
                     G
I took a plane to my home town
             D
I brought my pride and my guitar
       C
All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns
        G
And the people still think I'm a star
                G
I walked around downtown
            D
I met some fans on Lafayette
          C                       
They said tell us how to make it cause we're getting real impatient
     G                    
So I looked 'em in the eye and said
[Chorus]
                       Em
But you don't wanna be high like me
                      D
Never really knowing why like me
                     C                                       G
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
                         Em
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
                     D
Never knowing who to trust like this
                   C
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
G
Stuck up on that stage singing
G     D        C          G
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
         G     D            C          G
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
