[Verse 1]
One last [G]breath [F#m]in fear [D]city[C]
Hold me close 'cause [Em]I can't [C]hold [G]on
[Bm]anymore[D][G][C][Em][C]
[G]
Oh, what [D]a shame, [F#m]such a[D] pity[C]
I can't indul[Em]ge myself in the
[C]feel[G]ing [Bm]anymore[G][C]
And when [G]I look in the rear view
mirror [F#]I see [D]burning [C]buildings
Oh, it fills [Em]me with,
oh, such [C]feel[G]ings
Oh, mercy killing[F#]s
I might just [D]cum [C]at the sound of
the dy[Em]ing [C]child in m[G]e
"Wait, what [Bm]did he s[D]ay?"[C]
I said my [Em]hairs just way too
[G]short to make a living
[F#]"That's defi[D]nitely[G] not
[C]what he said"
But my hairs never been a good [Em]measure of my happiness,

[Verse 2]
I've lived here now [G]for [C]awhile
But most of the times,
[B]jus[C]t get los[Em]t in [G]a daz[C]e
[Em]Hey you,[G] over there with the beautiful
[C]smile ("Who, me?")
Yeah, the gapped [Em]tooth and
the years of deni[G]al
Do you have something else that
you'd like to [C]say?
"Well, actually, [Em]yes,
when I was [G]a kid I was obsessed with science
And saw so many [C]random acts
of va-va-va-va-violence
The The The [G]The The method of the
madness made me think I [C]like it
The science of si[Em]lence,
the silence of [G]violence"[Em][G][C]
So what came first,
[Em]the silenc[G]e or violence?
"O[Em]h honey,[G] you[C] know it really depends on w[Em]hat you're buying

[Verse 3]
All of my [G]friends call [F#]me a [D]light sl[C]eeper
Well, [Em]I guess but I just don't dream
[G]any[Bm]more[D][C][Em]
[G]
I used to [F#m]call the shots[D] but someti[C]mes
the shots [Em]just have to call [C]them[G]selves
Like making a U-turn [F#m]on on [F#]the b[D]elt of[C] the highway,
I [Em]can do it my w[C]ay now
[G][Bm][F#m][Bm][D]

[Verse 4]
[C]
Like turning [Em]around to the
burning [C]build[G] ing
I threw it away for [Bm]the better [Em]liv i[C]ng
One at [Em]a time and I stepped
[C]right in[Em]
The carnal knowledge embraced
my [G]skin
The smoke from the halls
Sank in my [Em]nose, my eyes, my soul,
my shit, my [G]grin
I screamed for my life, I screamed,
I screamed, [Em]"Help me"
No one can hear you in
the walls of [G]sin
Concrete floors that I loved living [Em]in
One last breath before I give [G]in
Just one last breath before
it's Christmas [C]morning

[Verse 5]
The bells are [C]out and I'm in mourn[G]ing
Wish I had a sign, wish I had a warn[C]ing
That the bells of Heaven would come
And [G]erase my nose, my eyes,
my sin, my [C]face
On New Years Eve
The years be[G]hind are just
another reason [C]to lead
All the beautiful lives we lead
When [G]fear is all we need,
what a beautiful life
[C][G]

[Verse 6]
What a beautiful [C]life[G]
What a beautiful [C]life[G][C][G]
[C][G]

[Outro 1]
What a beautiful life
[C][G]
