CHORUS:
C                F        C
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck.
C                G
Some nights I call it a draw.
C                   F           C
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle.
F         C           G
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
 
     F      C       F      C
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost.
          F      C       G
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh.
F       C       F     C
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
F              G     C   F C F C G
Most nights, I don't know anymore

VERSE:
C
This is it, boys. This is war.
F        C
What are we waiting for?
F         C           G
Why don't we break the rules already?
     C
I was never one to believe the hype.
F             C
Save that for the black and white.
     F              C
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
   G
But here they come again to jack my style
          C
And that's alright
        F       C
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
   F              C
She stops my bones from wondering
   G
Just who I am, who I am, who I am.
C      F   C    F    G
Yeah, oh who am I   mmmm  mmmmm

CHORUS again:
Some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again.
Some nights, I always win (I always win)
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost.
Oh Lord, I still don't know what I stand for, oh.
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know

BRIDGE 1:
play chord pattern C-F-C-F-C-F-G in background

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, that's all they are.
                  G
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan.
      F       C        F        G
So come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!

VERSE:
That is it, guys, that is all.
Five minutes in and I'm bored again.
Ten years of this, and I'm not sure if anybody understands.
This is not one for the folks back home.
I'm sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go.
Who the f wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?


BRIDGE 2:
         F
My heart is breaking for my sister
      C
And the con that she called love.
        F
But when I look into my nephew's eyes,
F
Man, you wouldn't believe
C                          G
The most amazing things that can come from.
           C   F  C  F  C  G
Some terrible nights.

CLOSE:
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance.


Fin. 

 Intro: C

       C
There are some nights I hold on to every note I ever wrote
Dm
Some nights, I say "fuck it all" and stare at the calendar
Em
Waiting for catastrophes, imagine when they scare me
F                                  Dm Em F
Into changing whatever it is I am changing into...
N.С.
And you have every right to be scared.

          C
Cos there are some nights I hold you close, pushing you to hold me
   Dm
Or begging you to lock me up, never let me see the world
   Em
Some nights, I live in horror of people on the radio
F
Tea parties and Twitter, I've never been so bitter

   C             Dm
And you, why you wanna stay?

Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately?
                 Em7
Lately, I've been going crazy...
   C            Dm
And you, why you wanna stay?

Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately?
                  Em7
Lately, I've been fucking crazy...

       C
There are some nights I wait for someone to save us
     Dm
But I never look inward, try not to look upward
    Em
And some nights I pray a sign is gonna come to me
   F Em Dm                          C
But usually, I'm just trying to get some sleep... 

C
Some nights!
