Chords

I've included backing vocal parts which are sung during choruses and bridge, so it shouldn't be too confusing. Tuning: half-step down (D# G# C# F# A# D#) [Intro] E C#m E G# E C#m B [Verse 1]
E                C#m
Watch you on the ones and twos

          E           G#
Through a window in a well lit room

         E             C#m
Become a recluse and I blame myself

          B
Because I make things hard and you're just trying to help

           E                  C#m
And when I wake up you're the first to call

        E                   G#
This is one more late night basement song

        E                     C#m
And I'm so sore, my voice has gone to hell

            B
And this is one more sleepless night because
[Pre-chorus]
   E                E
We don't believe in filler, baby

     A                  G# A B F# G#
If I could I'd sit this out
[Chorus]
         A                                      E
(This is over                   when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination, I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
    C#m                        E                F#                           G#
And every single second that I put it off means another lonely night I gotta race the clock

    A                                  E
 (I ignore it                   and it ignores me too)
Let's say we go and crash your car and every time I leave you go and lock the door
     C#m                      E                        F#                   G#
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder, I'm another day late and one year older

     A
It's failure by design
E C#m [Verse 2]
            E                    G#
And we just want sleep, but this night is hell

    E                   C#m
I'm sick and sunk and I blame myself

          B
Because I make things hard and you're just trying to help

      E                    C#m
I got no gas (no gas), I'm winding out my gears

        E                   G#
This is one more day on the verge of tears

           E                              C#m
And now my head hurts (head hurts) and my health is a joke

B
Now I gotta stop because the headphones broke
[Pre-chorus]
   E                E
We don't believe in filler, baby

     A                  G# A B F# G#
If I could I'd sit this out
[Chorus]
         A                                      E
(This is over                   when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination, I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
    C#m                        E                F#                           G#
And every single second that I put it off means another lonely night I gotta race the clock

    A                                  E
 (I ignore it                   and it ignores me too)
Let's say we go and crash your car and every time I leave you go and lock the door
     C#m                      E                        F#                   G#
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder, I'm another day late and one year older

     A
It's failure by design
[Bridge]
E          C#m   B
I'm out of every-thing

E                     C#m           B          E
No one sleeps till we get this shit out on the shelves

               C#m   B
It's late, I'm falte-ring

    E               C#m        B
But this time I got nothing to say besides

E
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

C#m          B
(Baby,   I'm better than this)
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
E
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

C#m          B
(Baby,   I'm better than this)
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
E
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

C#m          B
(Baby,   I'm better than this)
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
E
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

G#   A  B  F#  G#
Nothing to say besides
[Chorus]
         A                                      E
(This is over                   when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination, I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
    C#m                        E                F#                           G#
And every single second that I put it off means another lonely night I gotta race the clock

    A                                  E
 (I ignore it                   and it ignores me too)
Let's say we go and crash your car and every time I leave you go and lock the door
     C#m                      E                        F#                   G#
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder, I'm another day late and one year older

     A
It's failure by design
