[Intro] C G C G F C G Dm F C G Dm F C G Dm F C G Fm [Verse]
         C                            G
Well, It doesn't really matter if you lead or follow

Dm                                F
Everybody's laughing like there's no tomorrow 

    C                            G              F
And even if there was, would you still go following your friends?

C                  G
I don't know where we went wrong, 

Dm                        F
We're still singing those same sad songs

      C            G               F
"It's my life, not your life, I'll end it when I want"
[Pre-Chorus]
            C               G           Dm
And now I'm off to save the world once again

                 F                C 
But I don't know how I'll pull it off this time

  G                  F
I think I'm going to drown

         C               G           Dm
Now he's off to save the world once again

                  F                 C
But he don't know how he'll pull it off this time

  G                      F
I just know I'm going to drown
[Horn Riff] C G Dm F C G F C G Dm F C G F [Chorus]
C                          G
And it's the saddest song you'll ever hear

Dm                   F
The most pain you will ever feel

C                       G                          F
But you grit your teeth because it don't get better than this (know this)

C                  G              Dm              F                     
And you'll try to explain as the blood leaves all your veins

C                      G               F
And you can't think of anything that you would change
[Horn Riff] C G Dm F C G F C G Dm F C G F [Verse] Stop!
C                          G
"Look and you will see" is what I think she said to me

Dm                          F
I'm not too sure because it could have easily 

C                           G
Been a million things but I don't know what she said

F
I still don't know what she said

C                          G              Dm            F
It's been years since I've seen her face, 14 years were just erased

   C           G                    F
If my life was your life, would you ever take it back?
[Pre-Chorus]
            C               G           Dm
And now I'm off to save the world once again

                 F                C 
But I don't know how I'll pull it off this time

  G                  F
I think I'm going to drown

         C               G           Dm
Now he's off to save the world once again

                  F                 C
But he don't know how he'll pull it off this time

  G                      F
I just know I'm going to drown
[Guitar Segue] C G Dm F

You'll try to explain as the blood leaves all your veins

              C           G                    F
And you can't think of anything that you would change
[Horn Riff] C G Dm F C G F C G Dm F C G F [Chorus]
C                          G
And it's the saddest song you'll ever hear

Dm                   F
The most pain you will ever feel

C                       G                          F
But you grit your teeth because it don't get better than this (know this)

C                  G              Dm              F                     
And you'll try to explain as the blood leaves all your veins

C                      G               F
And you can't think of anything that you would change
