Intro:
Em         G       C
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    D
Whoa-oh-oh-oh


Verse 1:
Em
Once upon a time
             G
When we both lost our minds
        C         D
And our memories
              Em
Destroyed our common sense
       G
And?the?letters sent
   C           D
Suicidal tendencies
                Em
Deployed?like a parachute
          G
You had a hole?in you
           C                    D
As we went tumbling through the sky
         Em
The only thing I'd change
       G
Is the fear and rage
        C               D
And the hell I put you through
   C
So sorry

Chorus:
Em
And I can't get up the nerve
   Bm              C
To look you in the eyes as I'm leaving
Em
And I can't go on
              C                 G              D
This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings


Interlude:
Em         G       C
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    D
Whoa-oh-oh-oh


Verse 2:
Em
I'm at a loss for words
         (G)
As the tables turned
           C           D
You placed me upon the wheel
        Em
In your torture chamber
G
My remains were
C                    D
Left next to my last meal
        Em
Gone without a trace
          G
You went off to taste
          C               D
The fruit of the afterlife
     Em
As I sit and stir
     G
Nightmares recur
        C
Haven't slept a wink
    D    C
In forty days or nights


Chorus:
Em
And I can't get up the nerve
   Bm              C
To look you in the eyes as I'm leaving
Em
And I can't go on
              C                 G              D
This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings
Em
Now and again
          Bm
Forgotten friends
            C
Crossing my mind like a minefield
Em
Stopping to stare
             C                G     D
Asking "do I dare defuse this or disarm my..."
           Em     C D
"Disarm myself?"

Chorus:
Em
And I can't get up the nerve

And I can't go on
              C                 G              D
This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings

Now and again
          Bm
Forgotten friends
            C
Crossing my mind like a minefield
