E   B          A
  Today is the greatest day I've ever known

E       B          A
  Can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much too long

E      B       A
  I'll burn my eyes out

E    B     C#
  Before I get out
[Verse 1]
F#   A     C#   F#      A         C#
  I wanted more   than life could ever grant me

  Bored by the chore   of saving face
[Chorus]
E   B          A

  Can't wait for tomorrow, I might not have that long

  I'll tear my heart out   before I get out
[Verse 2]
F#      A     E          B
  Pink ribbon scars that never forget

F#     A        E       B
  I've tried so hard to cleanse these regrets

F#   A     E             B
  My angel wings    were bruised and restrained

F#    A    G#   D#5/A#
  My belly stings
[Chorus]

  Today is...  today is...  today is...  the greatest...

  I want to turn you on,    I want to turn you
