Half Step Down
Intro: muted strings into G+G
G+G
Someone asked me if I found God?
C majorC
Yes I think we met a couple times
G+G
But Im not sure if it was him
D MajorD
Cause I cant look him in the eye
G+G
And all I heard were warnings
C majorC
From my conscience in the guilty night
G+G D MajorD G+G
That said Ill see you on the day you die
C majorC G+G
Ill see you on the day you die
D MajorD G+G
Ill see you on the day you die
G+G
Yes Ive never been to heaven
C majorC
But they say my head is in the clouds
G+G
So Ill just sit here by myself
D MajorD
And hope I stand out in the crowd
G+G
I tried to make my father proud
C majorC
But found out that I dont know how
G+G D MajorD G+G
Tomorrow there is only here and now
C majorC G+G
Yes theres only here and now
D MajorD G+G
Yes theres only here and now
C majorC G+G
And I hate to say it, but Ive heard it all before
D MajorD
Theres a war outside my window
G+G
Revolution at my door
C majorC D MajorD
keep your corporate counter culture
B minorBm E minorEm
That Im trying to ignore
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Because I dont believe in nothing anymore.
G+G
All these teachers preaching right from wrong
C majorC
Cant help the weak against the strong
G+G
Or save you from an end that comes
D MajorD
For you and I and everyone
G+G
So ill just write another song
C majorC
For all the world to sing along
G+G D MajorD G+G
Cause after all some day we'll all be gone
C majorC G+G
Yes some day we'll all be gone,
D MajorD G+G
Yes some day we'll all be gone
G+G
Now Ive washed my hands of everything
C majorC
The fairy tales and fantasy
G+G
Apparently reality
D MajorD
Has finally got the best of me
G+G
And all those drugs I did in vain
C majorC
They eased the pain, and numbed my brain
G+G D MajorD G+G
But life is just a high you cant sustain,
C majorC G+G
Life's a high you cant sustain
D MajorD G+G
Life's a high you cant sustain.
C majorC G+G
Yes I hate to say it, but Ive heard it all before
D MajorD G+G
Theres a devil in the details And salvation with the Lord
C majorC D MajorD
No Im not one for compliance
B minorBm E minorEm
And defiance makes me bored
C majorC D MajorD G+G
I guess I dont believe in nothing anymore.
G+G (single strum)
Yeah Ive seen the writing on the wall
C majorC
The darkness in the crystal ball
G+G
A augmentedA house of cards about to fall
D MajorD
A augmentedA peace of mind I cant recall
G+G
But man the worst thing that I saw
C majorC
Was clearly the reflection of
G+G D MajorD G+G
A augmentedA boy who said I think Ive seen it all
C majorC G+G
Yes I think Ive seen it all
D MajorD G+G
Yes I think Ive seen it all
C majorC G+G
and I hate to say it, but Ive heard it all before
D MajorD
After all these years those chandeliers
G+G
Have crashed upon the floor
C majorC D MajorD
And there aint no way of knowing
B minorBm E minorEm
What the future has in store
C majorC D MajorD G+G
