Verse 1:
   A augmentedA   E/G#
When was it that you
F# minorF#m    E MajorE    D MajorD   A/C#A/C# D MajorD
lost your youth or traded
    A augmentedA     E/G#
It for something more
  F# minorF#m   E MajorE   D MajorD  A/C#A/C# D MajorD
for them to use so jaded
  F# minorF#m
Why is it that you
       E MajorE
never said I love you
more than just a friend
 D MajorD
I pray this gridlock
A/C#A/C# D MajorD    A/C#A/C# D MajorD
ne---ver ends   And when
       E MajorE
we get there just depends
A augmentedA      E/G# F# minorF#m
I found out recently
   E MajorE    D MajorD   A/C#A/C# D MajorD
that you are leaving
  A augmentedA   E/G#
For good I hope I
F# minorF#m  E MajorE    D MajorD   A/C#A/C# D MajorD
softly tell my ceiling
   F# minorF#m
It's better now to be alive
 E MajorE
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
  D MajorD
I'm having nightmares
A/C#A/C# D MajorD    A/C#A/C# D MajorD
all the time
Of running out of
E MajorE
words that rhyme

Chorus:
A augmentedA
Everything that
you could never
E MajorE
say Would never
     F# minorF#m
matter anyway
I took a hammer and two
D MajorD      E MajorE
nails to my eardrums long
 A augmentedA
ago Before that steak
       E MajorE
knife took my eyes
          F# minorF#m
I looked up to the sky
For the last thing
    D MajorD
I would ever see For
E MajorE
the last time I'd cry

A augmentedA E/G# F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD A/C#A/C# D MajorD x2
F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD A/C#A/C# D MajorD A/C#A/C# D MajorD E MajorE


Verse 2:
   A augmentedA   E/G#
When was it that you
F# minorF#m    E MajorE    D MajorD   A/C#A/C# D MajorD
sold your life or wasted
   A augmentedA    E/G#
Every bite of that small
 F# minorF#m   E MajorE   D MajorD   A/C#A/C# D MajorD
slice you never tasted
 F# minorF#m
I guess I should
be one to talk
    E MajorE
There's nights that
I can't even walk
    D MajorD
There's days I
     A/C#A/C# D MajorD   A/C#A/C# D MajorD
couldn't give a fuck
And in between is
E MajorE
where I'm stuck From
A augmentedA    E/G# F# minorF#m
blocks away I heard
  E MajorE   D MajorD    A/C#A/C# D MajorD
somebody screaming
      A augmentedA    E/G#
That small child inside
  F# minorF#m   E MajorE
of you that you left
D MajorD    A/C#A/C# D MajorD   F# minorF#m
bleeding   You stabbed
him up not once but twice
E MajorE
Cubicles will now suffice
   D MajorD
Some say it's the
   A/C#A/C# D MajorD    A/C#A/C# D MajorD
roll of  the dice
I think they're wrong
 E MajorE
I know I'm right


(Repeat Chorus)

Outro:
  A augmentedA
In case you're wondering
      D MajorD
I'm singing about growing
 E MajorE
up about giving in
  A augmentedA
In case you're wondering
      D MajorD
I'm singing about growing
 E MajorE
up about giving in
  A augmentedA
In case you're wondering
      D MajorD
I'm singing about growing
 E MajorE
up about giving in
  A augmentedA
In case you're wondering
      D MajorD
I'm singing about growing
 E MajorE       D MajorD
up about giving up
      A(hold)
and kneeling
