Em - Am - C - C
Em - Am



Em            Am
Push it away
      C           Em            Am  C
Heart cold in the land of gray
Em              Am
Suck it all in
    C             Em      Am  C
I'm watching them cringe
Em                  Am
Damn, what a waste
          C            Em              Am  C
The boy's got that prescription taste
     Em          Am
He's dying away
C           Em
Look at 'em fade
      Am        C
There has to be another way

Em           Am   C
The aftermath is devastating
Em                 Am  C
Writing, leave me, medicating
    Em                      Am        C
The hating, the horror that haunts my day
   Em                    Am        C      Em
If I can get a chance to brush off this decay
                Em                 Em              Am
Who gives a f***, gimme what I need, another dose



Em         C         D
And I stop shaking tonight
                       Em
Pull myself up off the floor
               C   D
Kneel down and exercise
                             Em
Prepare for what's in store
           C       D
And I stop shaking tonight
                       Em
Pull myself up off the floor
               C   D
Kneel down and exercise
I'm resurrecting



Em            Am
Lock it away
            C       Em                Am  C
Beneath the pain, beneath the insane
Em              Am
Take it all in
    C              Em    Am  C
And I'll take the blame
Em                 Am
Pushing the grace
    C          Em                Am  C
The cancer radiates in her face
    Em              Am
You ruined my stay
        C           Em
So I'll destroy the faith
      Am        C
There has to be another way



Em             Am    C
I'm in the rubble, contemplating
    Em
The pills that thrill
   Am        C
Killing, not aiding
    Em                      Am        C
The hating, the horror that haunts my day
   Em                  Am
If I could get another chance
             C              Em
I'd probably throw it away
                Em                 Em              Am
Who gives a f***, gimme what I need, another dose
Em             Em              Em
I'll resurrect for all to see
                  Am
And death to those who've forsaken me



Em         C         D
And I stop shaking tonight
                       Em
Pull myself up off the floor
               C   D
Kneel down and exercise
                             Em
Prepare for what's in store
           C       D
And I stop shaking tonight
                       Em
Pull myself up off the floor
               C   D
Kneel down and exercise



Em - D - C - B    x2



Em        D             C
Dead man walking, baby
                 B
I call 'em how I see 'em
Em                    D           C
Killin' time, killin' pain, baby
                   B
But instead you're killin' me



Solo:

Em                 G
Back away from the pain
     Am                Am
It's insane and I will throw away
        C           D
All the things that sting
   Em               G
So back away, it's okay
         Am                   Am
You're a stain and now you'll rot away
     C    D
It's sickening
