Novocaine

(Verse) You can take back all your secrets We'll divide up all the lies Keep all the pictures in their frames Just cut me out, yeah, I'll be fine Sell the neighbors all my feelings Go on give away my pride It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night Keep your rolodex of friends And all the remnants can be mind I guess there'll be no happy endings When ?once upon? is doing time There's a different kind of meaning now To livin' on a prayer Some don't seem to notice And the rest don't seem to care (Chorus) I tell myself I (feel no pain) But I'm feeling the pain (walk away) Can't walk away I'm hanging on the ropes of hope It's getting hard to cope you know When you're the needle running through my veins I've changed my name to novocaine (Verse) You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let's get this straight) You burned my favorite sweats from high school Tried to sell my muscle car (that's not OK) You're mother's gonna visit for a couple months this year They say you do the crime, you do the time It's all so clear (Chorus) I tell myself I (feel no pain) But I'm feeling the pain (walk away) Can't walk away I'm hanging on the ropes of hope It's getting hard to cope you know When you're the needle running through my veins I've changed my name to novocaine, novocaine (Solo) (Bridge) Well things ain't what they used to be It's a sleepless, self-help century I'm up to here with Dr Phil and the modern man in me? (Chorus) I tell myself I (feel no pain) But I'm feeling the pain (walk away) Can't walk away I'm hanging on the ropes of hope It's getting hard to cope you know When you're the needle running through my veins I've changed my name to novocaine, novocaine novocaine, novocaine, I (feel no pain) ---------------------------- e|--0---- B|--0---- G|--2---- D|--2---- A|--0---- E|-------
