          D
There's a hope in my head

            A
That's been cut and bled

    Em                G
Dry as your bloodshot eyes

             D
And there's smoke in the air

         A
And it's soon to clear

  Em            G   D/F#
Revealing our demise

          D
There are some who say

          A
That it's A-OK

      Em                 G
If it makes you feel all right

          D
It's just way too bad

           A
Now you're worse than sad

    Em                G   D/F#
All locked up there inside
[Interlude] D A D/F# G x2 [Verse 2]
            D
And I don't know how you feel

         A
But I'll make you a deal

          Em           G
If you'll make it out alive

   D
My shoulders and ears

        A
Are all yours, my dear

          Em             G    D/F#
I hope it comes as no surprise

            D
You've been known to say

            A
That you're A-OK

            Em             G
When you're feeling sick inside

       D
I just want you to know

      A
I got no place to go

  Em              G
Until the day you die
[Chorus 1]
Bm
While you're waiting

            A/C#     D
Be thankful for your fingers

G
I'll be fading
With the colors of your pictures
Em
I'm not crying wolf you whisper

                D/F# G
I'm really dead this time

    A                D A D/F# G
I'm really dead this time

[Bridge]
D                 A
  They locked you up

D/F#            G
    They threw away the key

D              A
  Sutured your mouth shut

D/F#              G
    Murdered your family

D         A
  Right before your eyes

D/F#     G
    What could you do?

D         A
  Right before your eyes

D/F#             G
    They took it all from you
[Chorus 3]
Bm
Contemplating

            A/C#      D
You hanging from your ceiling

G
Can't help hating
You for having that feeling
Em
I'm not joking when I tell you

                 D/F# G
I'd miss you all the time

          A
I already miss you

        D A D/F# G
all the time
D A D/F# G x2 D A D/F# (hold) G (hold) D (hold) D
