Chords

[Intro] Am C G Em (x3) Am C [Verse 1]
G                    C           G
The litebrite's now black and white

           Am                      Em
Cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right

Bm                  C
Pitch burning on a shining sheet

Am                        C
The only maker that you'd want to meet

Em                 C        G
The dying man in a living room

        Am             Em
Whose shadow paces the floor

Bm                    C
He'll take you out any open door
[Chorus]
Am             C
This is not my life

             G
It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Am                C
It's not what I'm like

             G                  Em
It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Am                      C
Who couldn't get things right

A fond farewell to a friend
Am C [Verse 2]
G                     C        G
He said really I just wanna dance

         Am                         Em
Good and evil matched perfect it's a great romance

Bm                    C
I can deal with some psychic pain

Am                    C
If it'll slow down my higher brain

Em                 C        G
Veins full of disappearing ink

Am               Em
Vomiting in the kitchen sink

Bm                     C
Disconnecting from the missing link
[Chorus]
Am             C
This is not my life

             G
It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Am                C
It's not what I'm like

It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Am                      C
Who couldn't get things right

   G                  Em
A fond farewell to a friend
Am C [Verse 3]
G            C        G
I see you're leaving me

Am                    Em
And taking up with the enemy

Bm                      C
The cold comfort of the in between

Am                   C
A little less than a human being

Em                   C        G
A little less than a happy high

Am                  Em
A little less than a suicide

Bm                       C
The only things that you really tried
[Chorus]
Am             C
This is not my life

             G
It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Am                C
It's not what I'm like

             G                   Em
It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Am                     C
Who couldn't get things right

   G                   Em
A fond farewell to a friend

Am             C
This is not my life

It's just a fond farewell to a friend
