D2 G D Deflate the air from both of my lungs Then, Riff 1: D G D G e--------------------------------| B-----3-2------------3-2---------| G---------2-0------------2-0-----| D--0--------------0-----------4--| Verse 1: (use Riff 2 for this verse) [Riff 2 at bottom of page] D G D G D Fears one by one, followed me home, and became reality G D G I'm a failure I'm a freak, I'm a chip on your shoulder D A The last thing you need. Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2) I shudder earthquakes at the thought of a life that's meaningless And with such a promising past but you can always count on me To choke in the end Chorus: D F# D D2 G D I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs Bm G D A I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face... Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2) Honestly I'm taking big strides, in a race towards normalcy Where more is more and less is weak. Where love is crap Emotion speaks for us all. Verse 4: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2) What's really right? Who's who to say? I can survive alone again. I figured that out the hardest way. The forecast calls for fire But flames sound nice today. Chorus: (use chorus chords) I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face... It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care Solo: (solo to come later) D-G x4 Bridge: D G D A D G I left a note on your bed. I don't recall what it said E G A Something like how I'm completely miserable and I'm better off dead. Chorus: I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face... It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care Outro Chorus: (repeat 3x and fade out on 3rd) D F# D D2 I can't go on, (I can't go on) G D Bm G D A deflate the air from both of my lungs ====================================================== Riff 2: Verse palm muted guitar accompaniment(play note 4x for every one note) D G D G e------------------------------------| B---3-2------3-2------3-2------------| G-------2--------2--------2-4-2------| D-0-------0--------0------------2-0--| D G D G e-----------------------------------| B---3-2-------2-3---3---3---3---3---| G-------2-4-2-----4---4---2---2-----| D-0---------------------------------| D A e-------------------| B----3---3---2---2--| G----------2---2----| D--0---0------------|
