broken things A memory remains just a tiny spark

Em                        D
  I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
Em                         C
  She's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock
Em                 D
  It's a matter of time before we all run out...
Em                      C
  When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth
Em
  I waited eight long months
D
  She finally set him free
Em                         C
  I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Em                     D
  Two weeks and we had caught on fire
             Em                         C
She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile


Em.....D D D D D

   Em             D
To steal it all away from you now
C2                          D
  But God does it feel so good

'Cause I got him where I want him now

  Second chances: they don't ever matter, people never change
Em                             C
  Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change
Em                      D
  And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
Em                         C
  I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way
Em                             D
  Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Em                       C
  Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
Em                                   D
  They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right
Em                    C
   Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Riot! Album

Paramore began recording their second album Riot, in January 2007 and was released on June 12,2007. Riot! entered the Billboard 200 at number 20, the UK charts at number 24, and sold 44,000 its first week in the United States.


The name Riot! had been chosen because it meant "a sudden outburst of uncontrolled emotion", and it was a word that "summed it all up". The first single from the album, "Misery Business" according to Williams, "more honest than anything I've ever written, and the guys matched that emotion musically."

On May 19, 2008, Paramore announced on their website that they will be going on tour again, the tour being named "The Final Riot!", starting July 25 and ending September 1. Paramore's song "Decode" was the lead single for the novel-based Twilight film. Another song called "I Caught Myself" is also featured on the film's soundtrack. "Decode" was released on October 1, 2008 on the Paramore Fan Club site as well as Stephenie Meyer's website. The band released a live album named The Final Riot! on November 25, 2008. The album includes a bonus DVD with a full concert recorded in Chicago, as well as a behind the scenes documentary. As of the 9 of April 2009, The Final Riot! is certified gold in the United States.

Paramore was featured on the cover of February 2008 issue of Alternative Press magazine and voted "Best Band Of 2007" by the readers. The band was nominated for "Best New Artist" at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.
