Verse 1: A F#m Headed for a blackout hurting like hell C#m B Finding my way to bottom of the bottle A F#m Packing up my suitcase, leaving no trace C#m B One step closer with every swallow A F#m A deafening silence, that you liked me C#m B Where you want me, saying nothing A But not this time F#m I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say Lead Electric Part (0:27) e|---------------0----|-----------2----------|--------------------------|------------------------| B|-------------2------|-----------2----------|-------5-----4------------|-2-----------0----------| G|-----------2--------|-----------2----------|----6-----6--------4------|-------2-----------1----| D|--------------------|-----------4----------|--------------------------|------------------------| A|--------------------|----------------------|--------------------------|------------------------| E|--------------------|----------------------|--------------------------|------------------------| e|--------------------|----------------------| B|--------------------|----------------------| G|-2------------------|----------------------| last bar mixes into chorus D|-----------4--------|-2--------------------| A|--------------------|----------------------| E|--------------------|----------------------| Chorus: Lead Electric e|--------5---4-------4---2----|-------------------------| B|----2------------2-----------|----2---5------4----2----| G|-----------------------------|-------------------------| repeat throughout D|-----------------------------|-------------------------| A|-----------------------------|-------------------------| E|-----------------------------|-------------------------| A What sober couldn't say F#m Couldn't break through C#m B Under the influence of you A F#m Incoherent, truth serum C#m B Just enough to make me bullet proof A F#m I'm so over this love gone violent C#m B I'm drunk and brave enough to say A What sober couldn't say Verse 2: A F#m Criminal in my mind C#m B I've been doing time A F#m Believing in the lie C#m B That you still loved me A F#m Making up for the slamming of the door C#m B Always wanting more but never giving A F#m Sick of crying, Tired of trying C#m B Always buying into every kiss A But not this time I'm gonna say Chorus 2: Lead Electric e|--------5---4-------4---2----|-------------------------| B|----2------------2-----------|----2---5------4----2----| G|-----------------------------|-------------------------| repeat throughout D|-----------------------------|-------------------------| A|-----------------------------|-------------------------| E|-----------------------------|-------------------------| A What sober couldn't say F#m Couldn't break through C#m B Under the influence of you A F#m Incoherent, truth serum C#m B Just enough to make me bullet proof A F#m I'm so over this love gone violent C#m B I'm drunk and brave enough to say A What sober couldn't say Bridge: Distorted guitar -
