Verse 1:
Am                    F
Too many friends are asleep inside pine boxes
           C
Suicide by abuse of a toxins
             G
Cause it’s easier to run away
                       Am
Then to deal with the bullshit of the day to day
               F
And I really can’t blame you
                    C
Most days it’s hard to find a scrap of hope
                 G
Should’ve been there to help you cope, but I was locked up in the brig of the same damn boat

Chorus:
Am
Why should I sugarcoat it
F
We’re all gonna die
C
If we escape the coarse easily coerced
G
I guarantee next time
Am                   F
I see you you’ll be strapped down to a bed
           C
All cloaked in white
              G
Rotting from the inside out beneath fluorescent lights

  Am   F    C      G      Am
So, for the love of god do as I say not as I do
     F     G
I may not care about myself, but I care about you
Am    F          C
Kid I’ve been there and I’ve done that
     G        Am
It ain’t pretty it ain’t worth it
         F     G
So trust me stay the fuck away and you’ll be o-kay


Instrumental:
Am F C G x2


Verse 2:
Am                F
These lives are only ours to live
                  C
These sins are just ours to forgive

This stigma might wear thin
G
A life in pain, a love in vain

The veins & skin all weathered from a pin
Am
You never felt desire, might cast your soul on fire
F
You can’t understand their fear, ____ you refuse see them clearer
C
Victims of this crooked game, (all) trapped inside a world insane,
G
You cast aside, mere shadows in a funhouse mirror


Chorus:
Am
Why should I sugarcoat it
F
We’re all gonna die
C
If we escape the coarse easily coerced
G
I guarantee next time
Am                   F
I see you you’ll be strapped down to a bed
           C
All cloaked in white
              G
Rotting from the inside out beneath fluorescent lights

  Am   F    C      G      Am
So, for the love of god do as I say not as I do
     F     G
I may not care about myself, but I care about you
Am    F          C
Kid I’ve been there and I’ve done that
     G        Am
It ain’t pretty it ain’t worth it
         F     G
So trust me stay the fuck away

And you’ll be o-kay

Bridge:
Am          F
Life’s a minefield a treacherous road
    C              G
Call me selfish but I don’t want to travel it alone
Am           F
So burn the crutches and mend the bones
   C            G
Cause we’ve still got so many miles to go


Verse 3:
Am     F
Stay awake stay alive
C
we've been building our demons
      G
through the comfort of lies
Am
with injections and bottles
F
we poison the mind
C
but don't crumble beneath
G
stay awake stay alive

Am          F
Life’s a minefield a treacherous road
    C              G
Call me selfish but I don’t want to travel it alone
Am           F
So burn the crutches and mend the bones
   C            G
Cause we’ve still got so many miles to go

Am     F
Stay awake stay alive
C         G
think of all of us here left behind
Am
I know it's painful
   F
the sickness contrived
      C
but you're stronger than you know
  G
so put up a fight?
