This is what they play live..mess around with it a bit and get creative!

E
around
(repeat progression)
Cause it's time, lose your friends, make them go, was never
supposed to be like this
They were too weak, too prone to break
Their needs too deep, their skin too thin
By now you took what was to take
Tear it apart and start again
Refrain

So go on, if this will make you happier
D A E
It got you this far, did what you had to

In your father's steps you'll do what was done unto you
It won't be hard to start again
D A E
So go on, if this will make you happier
D A E
It got you this far, did what you had to
D
(Well you knew this would come)
And you're gone now
A
(And you've left me all alone)
And did it make you happier?
E
(And you're lost and long gone, don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't that hard
D A
(Go on and get going, Im fine on my own)
Did what you had to
E

A
One more itch you son of a bitch
Bm/C#m E
You've been wasting my time...always
A
And now you're half awake You bend till you break
Bm/C#m E
And make the same mistakes...always
So go on, if this will make you happier
It got you this far, do what you have to
(Well you knew this would come)
And you're gone now
(And you've left me all alone)
And did it make you happier?
(And you're lost and long gone, don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't that hard
