C            D                   G
It's hard to tell from where I'm sitting
N.C. They say that this is where the fun begins
C            D               G
I guess it's time that I was quitting
[Chorus]
Em       D      
A slight figure of speech

G         C
I cut my chest wide open

Em            D
They come and watch us bleed

G       C                   D    G             
Is it art like I was hoping now?
[Verse] N.C. They said "I hope that you will never change"
C           D         G
I went and cut my hair
N.C. They say "Don't take your business to the big time"
C           D            G
I bought us tickets there
[Verse]
Em        D
A slight figure of speech

G         C
I cut my chest wide open

Em            D
They come and watch us bleed

G     C                     D
Is it art like I was hoping now?

G - (Riff 1) What did you expect And what did you forget That to live you let go of me with each step It becomes a progression I won't let regret manifest To aggression Are you to assess what I've been? What I am? Or become? Did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb It can be to Attack those around 'cause you're G - (Riff 2) True to color, a town, a time, or a place? It's not you, it's not mine And besides it is gone And you never will find it again But I don't want to fight I just ask let me be I won't give the chance to be my enemy So go home Think it through [Verse] N.C. A jet plane and a big idea
C       D          G
I jump over the sea
N.C. What ifs hot on my trail
C        D               G
But that can't catch me, no
[Chorus]
Em       D
A slight figure of speech

G        C   
I cut my chest wide open

Em            D
They come and watch us bleed

G     C                     D   
Is it art like I was hoping now?
