[Verse]
F#m        D
Rubble has covered my slate
     A
Been counting the days
           E
Since I′ve lost my way
F#m
Righteous hands with
  D
A wayward heart
       A
Spirit littered with sins
       E
Got no good in my cards
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  F#m
I fear the unknown
          D
And being written in stone
      A                     E
These waves aren't short of tidal
         F#m
All I′ll be when I croak's
           D
A shameful bundle of bones
    A              E
I wish that it was libel
 
[Chorus]
                  F#m            D
Revelries with my high hopes and nightmares
      A            E
These burdens that I wear
F#m               D                  A   E
Stolen dreams and I'm the bitter thief
                  F#m         D
Go back and black out the bad history
      A              E
Break bread with the guilty
  F#m              D             A
I hate myself for who I′ll never be
 
[Verse]
F#m
Blood runs thick
D
Mine′s feeling like mud
A
Folks don't really want me
         E
Just the person I was
F#m
Dwell on every mistake
    D
And my past faults
           A
Think I′ll finally be fine
         E
When the deadman walks
 
[Pre Chorus]
F#m
Can't perfect what I touch
      D
Now I dread what I loved
   A                E
My passion′s in the morgue
F#m
Attentions gone wild
D
Doubts got me so mired
  A                   E
I wrote what's on the wall
 
[Chorus]
                  F#m            D
Revelries with my high hopes and nightmares
      A            E
These burdens that I wear
F#m               D                  A   E
Stolen dreams and I'm the bitter thief
                  F#m         D
Go back and black out the bad history
      A              E
Break bread with the guilty
  F#m              D             A
I hate myself for who I′ll never be
 
[Chorus]
        F#m      D
I'm the Midas of ruin
    A         E
I′m no longer human
     F#m             D     A        E
I′ll leave behind an empty destiny
        F#m          D
I'm the holes in the armor
    A         E
The feet of a wanderer
    F#m           D         A    E
The remnants of a faded memory
 
[Bridge]
                 F#m
Half bitten nails
                 D
Can hardly breath
                                 A
These highs and woes and forlorn roads
                           E
Have thrown me to my knees
                  F#m
Foam at the mouth
                     D
Fear′s on my sleeves
             A       E  F#m
I'm rich in tragedy
            D       A
I'm rich in tragedy
                            E
I hate myself for who I'll never be
     F#m      D
I'll never be
               D*    N.C.
I'm the bitter thief
 
[Outro]
                  F#m*           D*
Revelries with my high hopes and nightmares
      A*           E*
These burdens that I wear
F#m*              D*                A
Stolen dreams and I'm the bitter thief
