Timing and rythm in this song is everything! Listen carefully to the song to get them right. This tab is for
Mike's part, Stone plays it with a capo on the 4th fret. There are two types of F#5 used in the song, make
sure you use the right one in different parts of the song. ENJOY!

F#5 C#5 E5 B5 You're always saying that there's something wrong F#5 C#5 E5 B5 I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along F#5 C#5 E5 B5 Death came around, forced to hear its song F#5 C#5 E5 B5 And know tomorrow can't be depended on (Riff 1) e|------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4--| E|--2--2-0-2-0--2-0-2-0--2-2--2-0-2-0--2-0--|
[Interlude 1]
E Emaj7 I seen the home inside your head
E Emaj7 (Riff 1)
All locked doors and unmade beds
E Emaj7 Open sores unattended E Emaj7 Let me say just once that
[Chorus]
F#5 C#5 F#5 C#5 I have faced it, a life wasted F#5 C#5 B5 I'm never going back again F#5 C#5 F#5 C#5 I escaped it, a life wasted F#5 C#5 B5 I'm never going back again F#5 C#5 F#5 C#5 Having tasted, a life wasted F#5 C#5 B5 I'm never going back again (Riff 1) e|------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4--| E|--2--2-0-2-0--2-0-2-0--2-2--2-0-2-0--2-0--|
[Interlude 2]
E Emaj7 The world awaits just up the stairs
E Emaj7 (Riff 1)
Leave the pain for someone else
E Emaj7 Nothing back there for you to find E Emaj7 Or was it you, you left behind?
[Solo]
F#5 C#5 E5 B5 (x4)
[Verse 2]
F#5 C#5 E5 B5 You're always saying you're too weak to be strong F#5 C#5 E5 B5 You're harder on yourself than just about anyone F#5 C#5 E5 B5 Why swim the channel just to get this far? F#5 C#5 E5 B5 Halfway there, why would you turn around? A E A E Darkness comes in waves, tell me why invite it to stay? A You're warm with negativity E A Yes, comfort is an energy E But why let the sad song play?
[Chorus]
F#5 C#5 F#5 C#5 I have faced it, a life wasted F#5 C#5 B5 I'm never going back again F#5 C#5 F#5 C#5 I escaped it, a life wasted F#5 C#5 B5 I'm never going back again F#5 C#5 F#5 C#5 Having tasted, a life wasted F#5 C#5 B5 I'm never going back again F#5 C#5 F#5 C#5 Oh I erased it, a life wasted F#5 C#5 B5 I'm never going back again
[Outro]
