F#5
When the day begins

A5
All the guilt sinks in

E5                   F#5
And I look on the wreckage of the night

      F#5
Though I try to break free

A5
The cycle breaks me

E5           F#5
Am I ever gonna see the light?

F#5
All the friends I've lost

A5
And the pain I've caused

E5                             F#5
Have never been enough just to make me stop

F#5                 A5
The lines I draw to look at myself

    E5           F#5
Are turning into somebody else
[Pre-Chorus]
D5                   B5
I know how this will end

        E5        E5 F#5
But I'm starting up again

       D5             B5
Turned around, inside out

        E5
Cause this way
[Chorus]
E5       F#5        A5          D5        E5
Takes me nowhere‚ I can't can't see a way out

E5       F#5        A5          D5        E5
Takes me nowhere‚ I can't can't see a way out

E5       F#5        A5          D5        E5
Takes me nowhere‚ I can't can't see a way out

E5          E5
It beats me up

E5     F#5        A5    D5             E5
When I go there‚ I know I could start again

E5     F#5        A5    D5          E5
When I go there‚ Oh no, here we go again

E5       F#5      A5    D5           E5
Takes me nowhere‚ Oh no, here we go again

E5          E5                   E5
It beats me up
F#5 into Drum Fill [Verse 2]
     F#5
Open on this scene

     A5
A familiar dream

       E5                        F#5
Of you telling me what I already know

           F#5
Though the truth seems near

    A5
You can't get there from here

        E5                           F#5
But you sure know where you're gonna go

       F#5
As the rumor wind blows

    A5
My infamy grows

       E5
Seeing friends above

      F#5
And I hit another low

    F#5                A5
The picture I paint to look at myself

   E5           F#5
Is turning into somebody else
[Pre-Chorus]
D5                   B5
I know how this will end

        E5        E5 F#5
But I'm starting up again

       D5             B5
Turned around, inside out

        E5
Cause this way
[Chorus]
E5       F#5        A5          D5        E5
Takes me nowhere‚ I can't can't see a way out

E5       F#5        A5          D5        E5
Takes me nowhere‚ I can't can't see a way out

E5       F#5        A5          D5        E5
Takes me nowhere‚ I can't can't see a way out

E5          E5
It beats me up

E5     F#5        A5    D5             E5
When I go there‚ I know I could start again

E5     F#5        A5    D5          E5
When I go there‚ Oh no, here we go again

E5       F#5      A5    D5           E5
Takes me nowhere‚ Oh no, here we go again

E5          E5                   E5
It beats me up
F#5 into Drum Fill [Interlude]
F#5            A5       E5       F#5  [2x]
N.C.

F#5            A5       E5       F#5  [2x]
Aaaaaaaa
[Bridge]
    D5          B5
But today, if I change

         E5        E5  F#5
And stop digging my own grave

       D5                 B5
I will try, to set things right

       E5
Cause this way
[Chorus]
E5       F#5        A5          D5        E5
Takes me nowhere‚ I can't can't see a way out

E5       F#5        A5          D5        E5
Takes me nowhere‚ I can't can't see a way out

E5       F#5        A5          D5        E5
Takes me nowhere‚ I can't can't see a way out

E5          E5
It beats me up

E5     F#5        A5    D5             E5
When I go there‚ I know I could start again

E5     F#5        A5    D5          E5
When I go there‚ Oh no, here we go again

E5       F#5      A5    D5           E5
Takes me nowhere‚ Oh no, here we go again

E5          C#5                   E5
It beats me up
