This is the way I play it.  You dont have to play with the bar chords, it will sound
just fine if you play with power chords, but I like the bar chords better.

	Lintball, I think the 'I have worn your crown of thorns' part means that he's been there, that he knows the feeling.

	To me this song is talking about him being lonely and that he just completely feels like shit because he has no one. I'm guessing that the line : It aint no bed of roses,it ain't no crown of thorns means that he just feels really uncomfortable,maybe he loses sleep over losing someone and being lonely. then " it aint no crown of thorns" means that he feels like a worthless person..most of you probably know that legend has it that jesus wore a crown of thorns. i am a little confused at the end though where he says "I have wore your crown of thorns" possibly he could change the meaning of the crown metaphor and is now saying that all this lonliness has made him feel tortured like jesus. idk

	And I also think the chorus is about casual sex. Like it's not what he wants, but still it's better than being all alone.

	this song is cool, man. i think it's about a dude looking make it retrospect at a terrible relationship and trying to find a new one, but options are small and he's meeting people who he likes but don't want one i think the chorus might refer to casual sex. it's better than being lonely but in the end it amounts to nothing.
