intro:
F#                                   D
I've made up my mind and I will be leaving
                  B                                D
Leaving this cruel, dark world for the soulless to share

But first...

               Bm
Women will shriek and watch their husbands bleed
            G
Child will cry and watch their mothers die
            A
Because tonight...
                      G
Tonight we all go to hell!
 F#
Why?

verse:
 F#
I have to let go of what happened to my love
 D                                                        Bm
I am taking out on everyone else all the problems I've brought on myself

When I made your heart melt
    A          Bm      F#m       G
My belle, we soon will meet again

chorus:
 G                              A           Bm
There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion
 A    Bm              A      Bm                A    F#m
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away
G                                 A
There's no one left to talk me down
             Bm
My feet are slipping...

          F#m                             G
One day I hope my name doesn't bring back memories
         A         A#
Of the day that I left her
Bm          F#m
Goodbye, so long
                 G                A      A#
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after
     G          A        F#m
For better, or even for worse, remember me forever...

bridge:
Bm                              G
Now the only question left is how to take you all down with me
A
The coroner will have his hands full tonight
F#                             Bm
That is if he is not among the dead

B                                        G
Dead will choke the streets with such vulgarity that grown men will weep
F#m                A               F#m
And then you will find the end is drawing night

chorus:
 G                              A           Bm
There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion
 A    Bm              A      Bm                A    F#m
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away
G                                 A
There's no one left to talk me down
             Bm
My feet are slipping...

One day I hope my name doesn't bring back memories

Of the day that I left her
Bm          F#m
Goodbye, so long
                 G                A      A#
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after
     G          A        F#m
For better, or even for worse, remember...

bridge:
G                                   A
The dizziness stuns me, would someone please distract me?
Bm
Can I really get through this?
Bm
Can I really betray myself?

         G                       A
There's sweat on my hands and a knife at my throat
Bm
And as the blade bites my skin Annabel appears...

chorus:
Bm        F#m                             G
One day I hope my name doesn't bring back memories
         A         A#
Of the day that I left her
Bm          F#m
Goodbye, so long

My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after
     G          A        F#m                    Bm
For better, or even for worse, remember me forever...
