[Intro] D G D G [Verse 1]
        D                 G
I got a pair of parasites with an endless appetite

             D                         G
They’ve been taking all the life outta me

       D                    G
And at first I didn’t mind 'cause I thought that they were kind

       D                           G
At the time I kinda liked the company
[Pre-Chorus]
           D            G                       D
But they’re each like a leech like worms in the beach

              A                            D
Feasting like germs, taking turns when I’m weak

                    G                        D
They’re each like a leech like sharks at the beach

           A
Preying on me
[Chorus]
      G        D
And I can’t go on

A          Bm
  Can’t go on

           G       D
I’m barely hanging on

A              Bm
  Soon I’ll be paralyzed

      G              D
These parasites have fought me blind

            A            Bm
I should’ve known it all along

  G        D A Bm
I can’t go on
[Refrain]
           G D
I can’t go on

           D  G
I can’t go on
[Verse 2]
        D                           G
I got a pair of scary scars, couple burns from old cigars

         D                                 G
From the time I tried to singe them off my skin

      D                                G
And I know it sounds bizarre, but they said they’d take me far

          D                                    G
So that’s why I thought that I should let them in
[Pre-Chorus]
           D            G                       D
But they’re each like a leech like worms in the beach

              A                            D
Feasting like germs, taking turns when I’m weak

                    G                        D
They’re each like a leech like sharks at the beach

           A
Preying on me
[Chorus]
      G        D
And I can’t go on

A          Bm
  Can’t go on

           G       D
I’m barely hanging on

A              Bm
  Soon I’ll be paralyzed

      G              D
These parasites have fought me blind

            A        Bm
I should’ve known it all along

  G        D  A  Bm
I can’t go on
[Bridge]
G           D
I was tryna be a good host

A              Bm
The scent of deceit in my nose

G                 D             A      Bm
Why’d I let these people impose on me?

G                 D
Watch me now as I decompose

A                   Bm
Nothing left here now but my clothes

G            D                   A   N.C.
If you come around, leave a rose for me
[Chorus]
         G        D
'Cause I can’t go on

A          Bm
  Can’t go on

           G       D
I’m barely hanging on

A              Bm
  Soon I’ll be paralyzed

      G              D
These parasites have fought me blind

            A        Bm
I should’ve known it all along

  G        D  A  Bm
I can’t go on
[Outro]
           G D
I can’t go on

           A Bm
I can’t go on

           G D
I can’t go on

           A Bm
I can’t go on

           G D
I can’t go on

           A Bm
I can’t go on

           G D
I can’t go on

           A Bm
I can’t go on
