[Verse]
Bm                                  G
I've made up my mind and I will be leaving.

               A                                   F#m
Leaving this cruel, dark world for the soulless to share.

F#m
But first... 

            Bm                             
Women will shriek and watch their husbands bleed.

              G
Children will cry and watch their mothers die.

          A
Because tonight... 

                     F#sus4
Tonight we all go to hell! 

F#
Why?

Bm                  
I have to let go of what happened to my love.

G                                                     A
I am taking out on everyone else all the problems I've brought on myself.
When I made your heart melt.
 F#m
My belle, we soon will meet again.
[Pre-Chorus]
G                              A           Bm
There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion.

                                               F#m
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away.

G                             A
There's no one left to talk me down.

Bm 
My feet are slipping... 
[Chorus]
Bm           A                               G
One day I'll hope my name doesn't bring back memories.

      A          Bb
Of the day that I left her.

Bm         A
Goodbye, so long.

                 G              A       Bb
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after.

G              A             F#m
For better, or even for worse, remember me forever... 
[Verse 2]
Bm                           G
Now the only question left is how to take you all down with me.

A
The coroner will have his hands full tonight.

F#m
That is if he is not among the dead.

Bm                                      G
Dead will choke the streets with such vulgarity that grown men will weep.

A                         F#m
And then you will find the end is drawing night.
[Pre-Chorus]
G                              A           Bm
There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion.

                                               F#m
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away.

G                             A
There's no one left to talk me down.

Bm
My feet are slipping... 
[Chorus]
Bm           A                               G
One day I'll hope my name doesn't bring back memories.

      A          Bb
Of the day that I left her.

Bm         A
Goodbye, so long.

                 G              A       Bb
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after.

G              A             F#m
For better, or even for worse, remember me... 
[Bridge]
G                       A
The dizziness stuns me, would someone please distract me?

Bm
Can I really get through this?

Bm
Can I really betray myself?

Bm
For better or worse, remember forever

G                       A
The dizziness stuns me, would someone please distract me?
(There's sweat on my hands and a knife at my throat.)
Bm
Can I really get through this?
(And as the blade bites my skin)
Bm
Can I really betray myself?
(Annabel appears...) N.C. For better or worse, remember me forever [Chorus]
Bm           A                               G
One day I'll hope my name doesn't bring back memories.

      A          Bb
Of the day that I left her.

Bm         A
Goodbye, so long.

                 G              A       Bb
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after.

G              A             F#m                  Bm
For better, or even for worse, remember me forever...
