Chords

Easily one of my most favorite MCS songs and I'm honestly surprised why there isn't a decent chord set on here so that's why I'm contributing it along with some of the guitar riffs. Chords used:

[Verse 1]
B5
  Outside, the sidelines failing

G#5
Harder than the martyred stars of made-for-TV crime

B5
  Indoor living in cardboard confines

G#5
Counts for very little, when safe is just a state of mind

B5
  I fell off the sidelines long ago

G#5
I have no occupation, I'm just wasted for the weekend scene

B5
  So don't ask me out, don't make me try

G#5
'Cause I don't wanna let you, I don't wanna...
[Chorus]
B5                                     F#5
  And I can't complain if I don't know how
It's a sad, sad song with no story line
B5                               F#5
  I fall to sleep in my rented room

                 E5
It's not much to talk about

G#5                  E5
 I've got so much to talk about

    B5            F#5      G#5           F#5     E5
But I don't wanna let you, I don't wanna let you down
[repeat intro riff] [Verse 2]
B5
  Last call for societal knockdowns

G#5
Measure my endeavors loosely based on someone else's song

B5
  Melodrama and a bottle of wine

      G#5
Yeah, here's to self expression, here's to everyone that's dead

B5
  Bring back the days that fell behind

        G#5
I'm all wasted conversations in the corner of an empty room

B5
  So don't ask me out, don't make me try

       G#5
'Cause I don't wanna let you, I don't wanna...
[Chorus]
B5                                     F#5
  And I can't complain if I don't know how
It's a sad, sad song with no story line
B5                               F#5
  I fall to sleep in my rented room

                 E5
It's not much to talk about

G#5                  E5
 I've got so much to talk about

    B5            F#5      G#5           F#5     E5
But I don't wanna let you, I don't wanna let you down

It's not much to talk about

    B5            F#5      G#5           F#5     E5

[Outro]
B5
Outside, the sidelines failing

   G#5
Harder than the martyred stars of made-for-TV crime

B5
So don't ask me out, don't make me try

       G#5
'Cause I'm just gonna let you, I'm just gonna let you down
