[Intro] Bb G F C Bb G F C Eb C [Verse 1]

C
I live a chemical life

C
I'm on a mission to try

C
You went insane for a day

C
I'll have to shove it away

C
My only option is gone

C
Smile as they break and they fall

C
You want a simpler life

C
You can't erase what was mine

[Chorus 1]

C
You must be out of your mind

C
This was a simple design

C
You fuck it up every time

C
How could you leave me behind

[Interlude] Am F [Chorus 2]

      G       Am   F
It's alright, it's alright

          C             G
Because I know what you want

           C         F
But you'll just have to wait

     C         G
If I had it to give

        C       F
I would give it away

    C         G
I'm living it up

          C            F
While I'm falling from grace

           C               G            F       C
There's no way, there's no way that I'm running away

[Verse 2]

C
I'm used to making it worse

C
Made up of four letter words

C
You want to know what it was

C
Now isolated and gone

C
You fall apart at the seams

C
I'll never know what it means

C
Try not to pull it apart

C
You're aiming straight for the heart

[Chorus 1]

C
You must be out of your mind

C
This was a simple design

C
You fuck it up every time

C
How could you leave me behind

[Interlude] Am F [Chorus 2]

      G       Am   F
It's alright, it's alright

          C             G
Because I know what you want

           C         F
But you'll just have to wait

     C         G
If I had it to give

        C       F
I would give it away

    C         G
I'm living it up

          C            F
While I'm falling from grace

           C               G            F       C
There's no way, there's no way that I'm running away

[Interlude] C Bb C F [Bridge]

C            Bb
It had to be the worst for me

Am                    F
I don't know what to say so let me be

C            Bb
And now I find you left me behind

Am                    F               C
I don't know what to say so never mind!

C          G
You're mine!

[Interlude] C F C G C F [Chorus 2]

          C             G

But you'll just have to wait

     C         G

There's no way, there's no way that I'm running away
