[Verse]E
You've read the books,
Emaj7
You've watched the shows,
A B
What's the best way no one knows, yeah,
E Emaj7
(Medicated?), hypnotized.
A B
Anything to take it from your mind.
A B
But it won't go,
[Pre-Chorus] E C#m
You're doing all these things out of desperation,
A B
Oh, whoa,
E
You're going through six degrees of separation.
[Chorus]C#m A E
First, you think the worst is a broken heart
B C#m
What's gonna kill you is the second part
A E B
And the third, is when your world splits down the middle
C#m A E
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
B
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
C#m A E B
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have f**ked up a little
C#m A E B
((My mother ain't no help?), it's every man for himself) x2
A
No there's no starting over,
B
Without finding closure,
C#m (or E/G#, they both work)
You take them back, no hesitation,A
That's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation
(Repeat)
