[Opening]
[C]
[F]I hate you for what [C]you did, and I [F]miss you like a [C]little kid
I [Am]faked it [C]every time but that’s [G]alright, I can [F]hardly feel anything
I hardly feel anything at all [G] [C]

[section 2]
You gave me [F]fifteen [C]hundred, to see [F]your [C]hypnotherapist
I only [Am]went [C]one time, you let it [G]slide
Fell on [F]hard times a year ago
Was hoping you would let it go and you did [G] [C]

[chorus]
[F]I have [C] [G]emotional motion [F]sickness
Somebody [Am]roll [Em]the [F]windows down
There are no [C]words in the [G]English [Dm]language
I could scream to [F]drown you out

[section 3]
[C]
I’m on [F]the outside [C]looking through
You’re [F]throwing rocks around [C]your room
And while you’r[Am]e bleeding on your[C]back in the g[G]lass
I’ll be [F]glad that I made it out
And sorry that it all went down like it did [G] [C]

[chorus]
[F]I have [C] [G]emotional motion [F]sickness
Somebody [Am]roll [Em]the [F]windows down
There are no [C]words in the [G]English [Dm]language
I could scream to [F]drown you out

[section 4]
And why do [C]you sing [G]with an [F]English accent
I guess it’s too [Am]late [Em]to change [F]it now
You know I’m [C]never [G]gonna let you have [Dm]it
But I will try to [F]drown you out

[section 5]
[G] [Am] [F] [G] [Am] [F] [G] [Am] [F] [G]
You said when you met me you were bored
You [Am]said [F]when you met me[G]yo[Am]u we[F]re bor[G]ed
And you you were [Dm]in a band [F]when I was [D]born

[Closing]
[F]I have[C]emotion[G]al motion [F]sickness
I try to stay [Am] [Em]clean; you [F]live without
And I [C]want to [G]know what would [Dm]happen
If I [F]surrender to the sound, surrender to the sound [F]
