Intro:
A E/G# F#m E D A/C# D x2
F#m E D A/C# D A/C# D E


Verse 1:
   A   E/G#
When was it that you
F#m    E    D   A/C# D
lost your youth or traded
    A     E/G#
It for something more
  F#m   E   D  A/C# D
for them to use so jaded
  F#m
Why is it that you
       E
never said I love you
more than just a friend
 D
I pray this gridlock
A/C# D    A/C# D
ne---ver ends   And when
       E
we get there just depends
A      E/G# F#m
I found out recently
   E    D   A/C# D
that you are leaving
  A   E/G#
For good I hope I
F#m  E    D   A/C# D
softly tell my ceiling
   F#m
It's better now to be alive
 E
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
  D
I'm having nightmares
A/C# D    A/C# D
all the time
Of running out of
E
words that rhyme

Chorus:
A
Everything that
you could never
E
say Would never
     F#m
matter anyway
I took a hammer and two
D      E
nails to my eardrums long
 A
ago Before that steak
       E
knife took my eyes
          F#m
I looked up to the sky
For the last thing
    D
I would ever see For
E
the last time I'd cry


Post Chorus:
A E/G# F#m E D A/C# D x2
F#m E D A/C# D A/C# D E


Verse 2:
   A   E/G#
When was it that you
F#m    E    D   A/C# D
sold your life or wasted
   A    E/G#
Every bite of that small
 F#m   E   D   A/C# D
slice you never tasted
 F#m
I guess I should
be one to talk
    E
There's nights that
I can't even walk
    D
There's days I
     A/C# D   A/C# D
couldn't give a fuck
And in between is
E
where I'm stuck From
A    E/G# F#m
blocks away I heard
  E   D    A/C# D
somebody screaming
      A    E/G#
That small child inside
  F#m   E
of you that you left
D    A/C# D   F#m
bleeding   You stabbed
him up not once but twice
E
Cubicles will now suffice
   D
Some say it's the
   A/C# D    A/C# D
roll of  the dice
I think they're wrong
 E
I know I'm right


(Repeat Chorus)

  A
In case you're wondering
      D
I'm singing about growing
 E
up about giving in
  A
In case you're wondering
      D
I'm singing about growing
 E
up about giving in
  A
In case you're wondering
      D
I'm singing about growing

up about giving up
      A(hold)
and kneeling
