Verse
------

       G5 (hold and let ring until fades, guitar cuts out and only bass plays)
The celebration ends without a sound 

And the friends they're not around 

And you find you're all alone 

Talking to yourself again 

You promised it's the end 

Just one night you'll be fine 

Cause in the end the dreams you dream 
                  G5                         (guitar back in) 
Are all you ever were 

Pre-Chorus
-------

G5          D5           B5
Says she's got another life 
           D5 (open)         G5     D5      B5     D5 (open)
That I am living in my friend 
G5                      D5
Through and through she says 
             B5          
It's nothing I can change
  D5 (open)        G5        D5       B5       D5 (open) 
I always was the one 

And she'll say 

Chorus
------

G5                  D5              B5
Come on I'd like to buy the world a coke 
             D5 (open)       G      D5         B5       D5 (open)
And lie here naked with my girl 
G5                  D5               B5
Come on I'd like to buy the world a coke
            D5 (open)        G5      D5       B5       D5 (open) 
And lie here naked with my girl 


Verse 2 (chords the same)
-------
The lights dim once again someday I'll sleep 
Cause it's all the same to me 
This tiny voice inside my head keeps me awake 
Come on let's find the cure 
Come on let's die until we live 
In the end you'll find how high you climbed 
There's no design to ever bring you down 

Prechorus (chords the same) 
---------
Says she's got another life 
That I am living in my friend 
Through and through she says 
It's nothing I can change 
I always was the one 
And I'll say 

Chorus  (chords the same)
-------
Come on I'd like to buy the world a coke 
And lie here naked with my girl 
Come on I'd like to buy the world a coke 
And lie here naked with my girl 

And she knows 
(repeat 6 more times) 

I gotta buy the world a coke 
I gotta buy the world a coke 
And lie here naked with my girl 

And she knows 
(repeat 9 more times) 

Continue with the same progression throughout the rest of the song.
