Verse 1: (use Riff 2 for this verse) [Riff 2 at bottom of page]
Fears one by one, followed me home, and became reality
I'm a failure I'm a freak, I'm a chip on your shoulder
The last thing you need.
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
I shudder earthquakes at the thought of a life that's meaningless
And with such a promising past but you can always count on me
To choke in the end
Chorus:
I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...
Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
Honestly I'm taking big strides, in a race towards normalcy
Where more is more and less is weak. Where love is crap
Emotion speaks for us all.
Verse 4: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
What's really right? Who's who to say? I can survive alone again.
I figured that out the hardest way. The forecast calls for fire
But flames sound nice today.
Chorus: (use chorus chords)
I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...
It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more
I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care
Solo: (solo to come later)
- x4
Bridge:
I left a note on your bed. I don't recall what it said
Something like how I'm completely miserable and I'm better off dead.
Chorus:
I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...
It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more
I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care
Outro Chorus: (repeat 3x and fade out on 3rd)
I can't go on, (I can't go on)
deflate the air from both of my lungs
