	        A great song from their first release I Hate My Friends. 


D       B 
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze! 

           D 
Squeeze my arms a little tighter 
       F# 
Let me know I'm still alive 
                 B                             A   
Cause you're the only one here keeping both my eyes open tonight 
      D 
And I know that we got problems 
        F# 
Who are they to criticize 
     B                                 A 
If I tell you all my secrets would you tell me all your lies 
           D 
And when I stop writing her letters 
              F# 
I want her to know that it's because 
       B                                    A 
I have someone that makes me feel the same exact way that she does 
           D                                 F# 
And I will not deny the privilege to someone else who wants my love 
       B                                      A 
I have stitched a mask of confidence and I'll wear it like a glove  

      G                                 E 
And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today 
              G                                     E 
He said that no ones going to listen until you mean every word you say 
      G                               E 
So if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie 
           G                                      E 
And if you know we're gonna fail, then there's no point to even try 
               D           F#              B                A             
No point to try, no point try, no point to try, no point to try 

D                               F# 
I don't get it for real, this is blowing my mind 
        B                                  A 
We keep saying we're unhappy and they keep saying that we're fine 
        D                              F# 
I guess pain will be the only thing I ever get to bring 
           B                                      A 
But I will send it through the air like a loosely gripped baseball bat swing 
           D                                    F# 
All I ever wanted was something different, maybe by another name 
         B                      
We could set ourselves on fire, there is cleansing in the flame 

G 
So keep clapping and dancing 
         E                                     G 
Let them know you're still alive and if you're tired of giving up 
                   E 
At least make them think that you survived 
        G                              E 
So keep laughing, its not funny but at least you don't have to cry 
         G                              E 
When you wake up in the morning and you know you're still alive 
             D                            F# 
You're still alive, you know you're still alive 
             B                      A 
You're still alive, you know you're still alive 

         D                  F# 
Until we break down, til we shut down 
          B                                    A 
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground 
         D                  F# 
Until we break down, til we shut down 
          B                                    A 
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground 
         D                  F# 
Until we break down, til we shut down 
          B                                    A 
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground 

      G                                 E 
And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today 
             G                                      E 
He said that no ones going to listen until you mean every word you say 
      G                                 E 
So if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie 
           G                                          E 
And if you know we're gonna fail, then there's little point to even try 
                G 
Little point to try
