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.

G
A blackout in the room again.

Am
A busted lip and broken skin.

G
I wake up in the bathroom

And dare not bother asking

Am
Why the mirror's cracked and all I see

Are shards of glass inside of me.

G
There's voices there to dare me,

Am
My father's here to scare me.

G
My mother sits beyond the door

She's curled up crying on the floor,

Am
Look at what her son's done.

                                         G	D
When the weight of all the world's gone wrong.

	    Am
It's gone wrong again.

	     G         D
Gone so wrong.

	    Am
It's gone wrong again.

G
Well liars they leave a guilty trail.

And let me tell you something people,

Am
I've been lying all these years.

G							Am
That must be why I'm standing in this space.

G
Disregarding that I've created these monsters

            Am
They sit at both of my sides,

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

			Am
From all four of their eyes.

G
And while I wait for wounds to heal

I see you by the window sill,

Am
Your heart's torn out

A plastic spoon When honesty lit up that room

        G
So I stole the pillowcase to clean

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

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

					 G         D
When the weight of all the world's gone wrong.

	    Am
It's gone wrong again

	    G		D
Gone so wrong

		Am
It’s gone all wrong again.

              G
This room is old and wise

I fall onto the bed and wonder,

Am
"How did I get here?"

				       G
The little boy who would argue with a tree

Just go and thump his head!

			      Am
And he'll turn back to normal.

Now why is that what I see?

		G
Don't bother trusting

		D
Don’t bother waiting

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

		G     D
Just let me go away.

I'm packed

Am
Whenever

I'm down

G
Whenever.

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