Intro A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D F# E* D Dsus4 DE
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
When was it that you lost your youth or traded
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
It for something more for them to use so jaded
F#
Why is it that you never said
E*
I love you more than just a friend
D Dsus4 D
I pray this gridlock never ends
E
And when we get there just depends
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
I found out recently that you are leaving
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling
F#
It's better now to be alive
E*
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I'm having nightmares all the time
E
Of running out of words that rhyme
A E
Everything that you could never say
F#
Would never matter anyway
D E
I took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago
A E
Before that steak knife took my eyes
F#
I looked up to the sky
For the last thing I would ever see
D E
For the last time I'd cry
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D F# E* D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 DE
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
When was it that you sold your life or wasted
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
Every bite of that small slice you never tasted
F#
I guess I should be one to talk
E*
There's nights that I can't even walk
D
There's days I couldn't give a fuck
E
And in between is where I'm stuck
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
From blocks away I heard somebody screaming
A Asus4 D Dsus4
That small child inside of you that you left bleeding
F#
You stabbed him up not once but twice
E*
Cubicles will now suffice
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Some say it's the roll of the dice
E
I think they're wrong I know I'm right
A E
Every breath that I could barely breathe
F#
Could barely make it past my teeth
D E
I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long long time ago
A
Every step that I could take
E F#
Every one more difficult to make
D E
Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
