[Intro] Am F C G (x4) (Strum pattern changes) Am F C G (x2) [Verse 1]

Am                                       F
Too many friends are asleep inside pine boxes

                      C
Suicide by abuse of a toxins

                         G
Cause it’s easier to run away

                                             Am
Then to deal with the bullshit of the day to day

                              F
And I really can’t blame you

                                       C
Most days it’s hard to find a scrap of hope

                                 G
Should’ve been there to help you cope, but I was locked up in the brig of the same damn boat

[Chorus]

Am
Why should I sugarcoat it

F
We’re all gonna die

C
If we escape the coarse easily coerced

G
I guarantee next time

Am                                     F
I see you you’ll be strapped down to a bed

                      C
All cloaked in white

                            G
Rotting from the inside out beneath fluorescent lights

    Am      F       C           G            Am
So, for the love of god do as I say not as I do

          F          G
I may not care about myself, but I care about you

Am       F                   C
Kid I’ve been there and I’ve done that

         G               Am
It ain’t pretty it ain’t worth it

                 F          G
So trust me stay the fuck away and you’ll be o-kay

[Instrumental] Am F C G x2 [Verse 2]

Am                                F
These lives are only ours to live

                                    C
These sins are just ours to forgive

This stigma might wear thin

G
A life in pain, a love in vain

The veins & skin all weathered from a pin

Am
You never felt desire, might cast your soul on fire

F
You can’t understand their fear, ____ you refuse see them clearer

C
Victims of this crooked game, (all) trapped inside a world insane,

G
You cast aside, mere shadows in a funhouse mirror

[Chorus]

Am
Why should I sugarcoat it

F
We’re all gonna die

C
If we escape the coarse easily coerced

G
I guarantee next time

Am                                     F
I see you you’ll be strapped down to a bed

                      C
All cloaked in white

                            G
Rotting from the inside out beneath fluorescent lights

    Am      F       C           G            Am
So, for the love of god do as I say not as I do

          F          G
I may not care about myself, but I care about you

Am       F                   C
Kid I’ve been there and I’ve done that

         G               Am
It ain’t pretty it ain’t worth it

                 F          G
So trust me stay the fuck away

And you’ll be o-kay [Instrumental] Am F C G (x4) (Strumming changes) Am F C G (x2) [Bridge]

Am                   F
Life’s a minefield a treacherous road

        C                           G
Call me selfish but I don’t want to travel it alone

Am                      F
So burn the crutches and mend the bones

      C                       G
Cause we’ve still got so many miles to go

[Verse 3]

Am         F
Stay awake stay alive

C
we've been building our demons

            G
through the comfort of lies

Am
with injections and bottles

F
we poison the mind

C
but don't crumble beneath

G
stay awake stay alive

Am                   F
Life’s a minefield a treacherous road

        C                           G
Call me selfish but I don’t want to travel it alone

Am                      F
So burn the crutches and mend the bones

      C                       G
Cause we’ve still got so many miles to go

Am         F
Stay awake stay alive

C                  G
think of all of us here left behind

Am
I know it's painful

     F
the sickness contrived

            C
but you're stronger than you know

   G
so put up a fight

[Outro] Am F C G (x2)
