G#m B F#
G#m F# E
A somewhat inviting, very different of kind of hell.
G#m F# E
To live, without ever looking at yourself.
G#m E B F#
You see life is so much simpler when it's balanced on a shelf.
A F# F#
Thats been unperfectly placed there in the sun now look at how your'e admired
E G#m F# E
by everyone, Who sees you now they know your name. But is it real?
G#m F# E
All your bad habits have become your life's appeal
B E
And then it's where did you go wrong, where did you go wrong?
B E
When you're screaming where did you go wrong, where did you go wrong?
G#m B E F# G#m G#m B E F#
Well first of a-l-l, and worst of a---l---l.
G#m B E F# E [ch]E/F[/ch]
you looked inside yourself didn't care much for what you saw
G#m
for what you saw
G#m B E F#
G#m B F#
G#m F# E
Can you imagine,did you ever play with dolls?
G#m F# E
You can protect your cotton heartbeat on the skin of porcelain walls.
G#m E B F#
You keep staring to your future through these marble eyes they show,
A F#
Everything I'm never ever gonna have,
F# E
That's a giant pill, But swallow if you can.
G#m
You'll start again,
F# E
You'll change your name and be reborn
G#m F# E
and give in to all that has been torn
B E
And then it's where did you go wrong, where did you go wrong?
B E
When you're screaming where did you go wrong, where did you go wrong?
G#m B E F# G#m G#m B E F#
Well first of a-l-l, and worst of a---l---l.
G#m B E F# E [ch]E/F[/ch]
you looked inside yourself didn't care much for what you saw
G#m
for what you saw
G#m B E F#
G#m B F#
G#m B E F#
G#m B F# F#
