Submitted by whatiaminstead A quick note: The Bm in the chorus may be A's, you'll have to try it and let me know.

A
A blackout in the room again.

Bm
A busted lip and broken skin.

A
I wake up in the bathroom

And dare not bother asking

Bm
Why the mirror's cracked and all I see

Are shards of glass inside of me.

A
There's voices there to dare me,

Bm
My father's here to scare me.

A
My mother sits beyond the door

She's curled up crying on the floor,

Bm
Look at what her son's done.

                                         A	E
When the weight of all the world's gone wrong.

	    Bm
It's gone wrong again.

	     A         E
Gone so wrong.

	    Bm
It's gone wrong again.

A
Well liars they leave a guilty trail.

And let me tell you something people,

Bm
I've been lying all these years.

A							Bm
That must be why I'm standing in this space.

A
Disregarding that I've created these monsters

            Bm
They sit at both of my sides,

						    A
So I wipe the blood from both of their eyes.

			Bm
From all four of their eyes.

A
And while I wait for wounds to heal

I see you by the window sill,

Bm
Your heart's torn out

A plastic spoon When honesty lit up that room

        A
So I stole the pillowcase to clean

This mess I've made of someone’s dream.

            Bm
Now you've seen what I've done,

					 A         E
When the weight of all the world's gone wrong.

	    Bm
It's gone wrong again

	    A		E
Gone so wrong

		Bm
It’s gone all wrong again.

              A
This room is old and wise

I fall onto the bed and wonder,

Bm
"How did I get here?"

				       A
The little boy who would argue with a tree

Just go and thump his head!

			      Bm
And he'll turn back to normal.

Now why is that what I see?

		A
Don't bother trusting

		E
Don’t bother waiting

		Bm
Don’t bother changing things that won't give into changing

		A     E
Just let me go away.

I'm packed

Bm
Whenever

I'm down

A
Whenever.

Let's go. Yes, let's go.
