Verse 1: (use Riff 2 for this verse) [Riff 2 at bottom of page]
D G D G D
Fears one by one, followed me home, and became reality
G D G
I'm a failure I'm a freak, I'm a chip on your shoulder
D A
The last thing you need.
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
I shudder earthquakes at the thought of a life that's meaningless
And with such a promising past but you can always count on me
To choke in the end
Chorus:
D F# D D2 G D
I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs
Bm G D A
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...
Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
Honestly I'm taking big strides, in a race towards normalcy
Where more is more and less is weak. Where love is crap
Emotion speaks for us all.
Verse 4: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
What's really right? Who's who to say? I can survive alone again.
I figured that out the hardest way. The forecast calls for fire
But flames sound nice today.
Chorus: (use chorus chords)
I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...
It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more
I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care
Solo: (solo to come later)
D-G x4
Bridge:
D G D A D G
I left a note on your bed. I don't recall what it said
E G A
Something like how I'm completely miserable and I'm better off dead.
Chorus:
I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...
It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more
I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care

Note that the D2 can be played at any point replacing a D chord, based on
preference. I generally start finger-picking, and then switch to a pick midway
through, before the Bridge.
