Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C5][G][C][G]
[C5][G][E][D][C5][C][G][C5][C][D]
[G]When was it that

[Verse 1]
you lost your youth [C]or traded
[C5]It for s[G]omething more for them
to use [C]so jaded[G][C]
[G]Why is [E]it that you never said
[D]I love you more than just a friend
I pray [C5]this gridlock nev[C]er end[C5]s And wh[C]en we get

[Verse 2]
[D]
there just depend[G]s
I found out recently that you
[C]are leav[C5]ing[C]
[G]For good I hope I softly tell me ceil[C]ing
[G]It'[C]s b[G]etter now to[E] be

[Verse 3]
alive
[D]Sleeping is my nine to five
[C5]I'm having [C]night[G]mares all [C]the time
[G]Of run[C]ning out of [D]words that rhyme
[G]Everything

[Verse 4]
that you could never
[D]say
Would never matter anyway
[E]I took a hammer and two[C] nails
[C5]to m[D]y eardrums long ag[G]o
Before that steak knife took
my eye[D]s

[Verse 5]
I looked up to the sky
[E]For the last thing I wou[C]ld ever see
[D]For the last time [G]I'd cry[C][G][C]
[C5]
[C][E][D][C][C5][G][C]
[D]
[G]When was it that you sold
your life [C]or wasted[C5]

[Verse 6]
[C]Every [G]bite of that small slice
you never [C]tasted[G]
[C]I guess I s[Em]hould be [E]one to talk
[D]There's nights that I
can't even walk
[C5]There's days I couldn't
give a fuck
And in between [D]is where i'm stuck
[G]From blocks away I heard

[Verse 7]
[G]
somebody [C]screaming
That [G]small child inside of you that you
[C]left bleed[G]ing[C]
[G]You stabbed [E]him up
not once but twice
[D]Cubicles will now suffice

[Verse 8]
[C5]
Some say it's the roll of the dice
I [C]think they're wrong [D]I know I'm right
[G]Every breath that I could barely breathe
[D]

[Verse 9]
Could barely make it past
[E]my teeth
I took a blowtorch to [C]both of my lungs [D]a long,
long time ago
[G]Every step that I cou[D]ld take
Every one more difficult to make
[E]Mr. Chainsaw

[Verse 10]
came [C]an d took my legs [D]a long,
long time [G]ago
[C5]In c[G]ase [C]yo[C5]u're[G]
wondering
I'm singing [C]about growing [D]up [G]and giving in
[C]In [C5]case [C]yo[D]u're[G] wondering
we're [C5]singing [D]abo[G]ut growin[C5]g up
[D]About giving up an [C5]d giving in[G][G]
