[A]When was it that you [Asus4]lost yo[A]ur youth or tr[D]aded [Dsus4] [D]
[A]It for something more[Asus4] for th[A]em to use so j[D]ad[Dsus4]ed [D]
[F#]Why is it that you never said
E*
I love you more than just a friend
[D]I pray this gridlock[Dsus4] never end[D]s
[E]And when we get there just depends
[A]I found out[Asus4] recently that y[A]ou are lea[D]vi[Dsus4]ng [D]
[A]For good I [Asus4]hope I [A]softly tell my [D]ceili[Dsus4]ng [D]
[F#]It's better now to be alive
E*
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
[D]I'm[Dsus4] having [D]night[Dsus4]mares a[D]ll t[Dsus4]he time
[E]Of running out of words that rhyme
[A]Everything that you could never s[E]ay
Would never matter a[F#]nyway
I took a hammer and two[D] nails to my eardr[E]ums long ago
[A]Before that steak knife took my e[E]yes
I looked up to the[F#] sky
For the last thing I would ever see
F[D]or the last time I[E]'d cry

[A]When was it[Asus4] that you sold your li[A]fe or wa[D]sted[Dsus4] [D]
[A]Every bite [Asus4]of that small sli[A]ce you never t[D]as[Dsus4]ted [D]
[F#]I guess I should be one to talk
E*
There's nights that I can't even walk
[D]There's days I couldn't give a fuck
[E]And in between is where I'm stuck
[A]From blocks[Asus4] away I heard som[A]ebody scre[D]aming[Dsus4] [D]
[A]That small [Asus4]child inside of y[D]ou that you l[Dsus4]eft bleeding
[F#]You stabbed him up not once but twice
E*
Cubicles will now suffice
[D]Som[Dsus4]e say i[D]t's[Dsus4] the ro[D]ll [Dsus4]of the dice
[E]I think they're wrong I know I'm right
[A]Every breath that I could barely b[E]reathe
Could barely make it past my t[F#]eeth
I took a blowtorch to b[D]oth of my lungs a[E] long long time ago
[A]Every step that I could take
[E]Every one more difficult to m[F#]ake
Mr. Chainsaw came and took my le[D]gs a long, lo[E]ng time ago

[A]In case you're wondering
I'm singing abo[D]ut growing up about[E] giving in
[A]In case you're wondering
I'm singing abou[D]t growing up about [E]giving in
[A]In case you're wondering
I'm singing abou[D]t growing up about [E]giving in
[A]In case you're wondering
We're singing about [D]growing up about gi[E]ving in
[A]In case you're wondering
We're singing about [D]growing up about gi[E]ving in
[A]In case you're wondering
We're singing about [D]giving up and givin[E]g in
