[Intro 1]
[Em][G][D][C][Em][G][D]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]How did you come
up with a [G]day and [D]time
You didn't tell me you'd
[C]changed your [Em]mind
How could I have [G]been so blind
[D]I didn't know you[C]'d changed
your mind

[Verse 2]
When [Em]you made the decision
to get [G]off this ride
Did you [D]run out of places to [C]go and hide
Did you [Em]know everybody
would [G]be surprised
When [D]you made the decision
to get [C]off this ride

[Verse 3]
When [Em]you made the decision
[G]to jump ship
[D]Once and for all [C]lose your grip
Did you [Em]wax the deck to make
it [G]easier to slip
When [D]you made the
decision [C]to jump ship

[Verse 4]
[C]When did you start seeing black
Was [Em]it too much good you felt you lacked
Was [C]it too much weight
riding on you back
When did [G]you start seeing [D]black

[Verse 5]
[C]When did you start seeing red
Did [Em]you see me standing over your bed
Did you [C]hear anything I said
When did [G]you start seeing [D]red

[Verse 6]
[C]When did you start seeing white
[Em]Tell me baby, what was it like
Was [C]it when you received your last rites
When did [G]you start seeing white

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em]

[Verse 7]
Did you [Em]use a compass to
get [G]out of this place
Did [D]you ever hear my voice,
did [C]you see my face
Did you [Em]fi nally get tired
of run[G]ning the race
Did you [D]use a compass to
get [C]out of this place

[Verse 8]
Did you [Em]feel your act was [G]a final truth
The dra[D]matic ending of [C]a misspent youth
[D]Did you [Em]really feel you had [G]all the proof
Did [D]you feel your act was a [C]final truth

[Verse 9]
Was it [Em]hard to finally [G]pull the plug
Was [D]it hard to receive that [C]final hug
Did [Em]evil triumph [G]over love
Was [D]it hard to finally [C]pull the plug

[Verse 10]
[C]When did you start seeing black
Was [Em]it too much good you felt you lacked
Was [C]it too much weight
riding on you back
[G]When did you start seeing [D]black

[Verse 11]
[C]When did you start seeing red
Did [Em]you see me standing over your bed
Did [C]you hear anything I said
When did [G]you start seeing [D]red

[Verse 12]
[C]When did you start seeing [D]white
[Em]Tell me baby what was it like
Was it [C]when you received your last rites
When did [G]you start seeing white
