Intro:
A E/G# F#m E D A/C# D x2
F#m E D A/C# D A/C# D E
Verse 1:
A E/G#
When was it that you
F#m E D A/C# D
lost your youth or traded
A E/G#
It for something more
F#m E D A/C# D
for them to use so jaded
F#m
Why is it that you
E
never said I love you
more than just a friend
D
I pray this gridlock
A/C# D A/C# D
ne---ver ends And when
E
we get there just depends
A E/G# F#m
I found out recently
E D A/C# D
that you are leaving
A E/G#
For good I hope I
F#m E D A/C# D
softly tell my ceiling
F#m
It's better now to be alive
E
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
D
I'm having nightmares
A/C# D A/C# D
all the time
Of running out of
E
words that rhyme
Chorus:
A
Everything that
you could never
E
say Would never
F#m
matter anyway
I took a hammer and two
D E
nails to my eardrums long
A
ago Before that steak
E
knife took my eyes
F#m
I looked up to the sky
For the last thing
D
I would ever see For
E
the last time I'd cry
Post Chorus:
A E/G# F#m E D A/C# D x2
F#m E D A/C# D A/C# D E
Verse 2:
A E/G#
When was it that you
F#m E D A/C# D
sold your life or wasted
A E/G#
Every bite of that small
F#m E D A/C# D
slice you never tasted
F#m
I guess I should
be one to talk
E
There's nights that
I can't even walk
D
There's days I
A/C# D A/C# D
couldn't give a fuck
And in between is
E
where I'm stuck From
A E/G# F#m
blocks away I heard
E D A/C# D
somebody screaming
A E/G#
That small child inside
F#m E
of you that you left
D A/C# D F#m
bleeding You stabbed
him up not once but twice
E
Cubicles will now suffice
D
Some say it's the
A/C# D A/C# D
roll of the dice
I think they're wrong
E
I know I'm right
(Repeat Chorus)
Interlude:
A E/G# F#m E D A/C# D x2
Outro:
A
In case you're wondering
D
I'm singing about growing
E
up about giving in
A
In case you're wondering
D
I'm singing about growing
E
up about giving in
A
In case you're wondering
D
I'm singing about growing
E
up about giving in
A
In case you're wondering
D
I'm singing about growing
E D
up about giving up
A(hold)
and kneeling
