Intro
[E] [A] [E] [A] [C#m] [B] [A]
Verse 1
[E]There were moments of dreams I was offered to [A]save
[E]I live less like a workhorse, more like a [A]slave
[C#m]I thought that one quick moment that was noble or [A]brave
Would be worth the most of my [A]life.
Verse 2
[E]So I pointed my fingers, and shout a few quotes I [A]knew
[E]As if something that's written should be taken as [A]true
[C#m]But every path I have taken and conclusion I [A]drew
Would put truth back under the [A]knife.
Bridge 1
[F#m]And now the only piece of advice that continues to [B7]help:
[C#m]Is anyone that's making anything new only breaks something [E]else.

Verse 3
[E]So I took what I wanted and put it out of my [A]reach
[E]I wanted to pay for my successes with all my [A]defeats,
[C#m]And if heaven was all that was promised to [A]me
Why don't I pray for [A]death?
Verse 4
[E]And now it seems like the unraveling has started too [A]soon,
[E]Now I'm sleeping in hallways and I'm drinking [A]perfume
[C#m]And I'm speaking to mirrors and I'm howling at [A]moons
While the worst and the worst that it [A]gets.
