Verse:
D
Had a scratch only you could itch

Dmaj7
Underneath the Glebe Point Bridge

F#m
And now every boy in a knitted vest

FmMaj7b5
Has got some precedent

D
So we took a personality pill

Dmaj7
And something red to swill

F#m
And now every fire has gone out

FmMaj7b5
in every heart that wanted to kill

A (quickly A Asus4)
Let's call it a day

Verse 2:
Every thought that once had a sound
We'll have to hide 'til no one is around
'cause there ain't no room in the city today
For explanations that you just can't say

Found out what shame can mean
In purple sneakers and grey jeans
And every walked to a school that once made sense
Sure felt like an accident
Let's call it a day

VERSE RIFF 1


Chorus:
D A
For every trouble you found
Bm Em
There's a drink to lose it and drown

CHORUS RIFF:
But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?


Verse:
Every day that once had a sound
We'll have to hide 'til no one is in town
I don't hate I just feel better
When no one else is around

So we'll take a personality pill
And something red to swill
And now every fire has gone out
in every heart that wanted to kill
Let's call it a day


Chorus:
For every trouble you found
There's a drink to lose it and drown
But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?

You can shave a million ways
To make *** sure that the twelve in you stays
But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?

Love, love, love, this song. As a whole I'm not sure what it means but this bit: "So we took a personality pill And something red to swill And now every fire has gone out In every heart that wanted to kill" I take it means death through a drug +alcohol overdose?

I think hes singing about conflict. And a girl. And how they are not happy in life, and are taking drugs and alcohol to avoid conflict and hide their feelings: "for every trouble you found, theres a drink to lose it and drown".
