Chorus:
D  F#m     D
I can't go on
   Bm
Deflate the
          G
air from both
       D
of my lungs

D            G
Fears one by one
             D
Followed me home
       G     A  D
And became reality
       G
I'm a failure
A      Bm
I'm a freak
       G
I'm a chip on
your shoulder
     D
The last thing
     A
you need
D
Shudder earth
G               D
quakes at the thought
      G
Of a life that's
A       D
meaningless
              G
And with such a
    A      Bm
promising past
            G
But you can always
          D
count on me
             A
To choke the end

Chorus:
D  F#m     D
I can't go on
   Bm
Deflate the air
      G
From both
       D
Of my lungs
        Bm
I'll be gone
G
Long before
D
daylight
           A
shows its face

Well, 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

What’s really right
Who’s who to say
I can survive alone again
Figured that out the hardest way
The forecast calls for fire
Flames sound nice today

Chorus

D    F#m      D
It's old and worn
         Bm
And it's mouth
           G
smiles no more
          D
Well I'm worth my
           Bm
weight in potting
      G        D
soil Maybe I try
            A
to hard to care

Bm G                      Bm
    I left a note on your bed
G
I don't recall what it
Bm  G
said It's something like?
        Em
I'm completely miserable
    G               A
And I'm better off dead?

Chorus:
D  F#m     D
I can't go on
  Bm
Deflate the air
      G
From both
       D
Of my lungs
        Bm
I'll be gone
G
Long before
D
daylight
           A
shows its face
D    F#m      D
It's old and worn
         Bm
And it's mouth
           G
smiles no more
          D
Well I'm worth my
          Bm
weight in potting
      G        D
soil Maybe I try
            A
to hard to care
D  F#m     D
I can't go on
Bm  G
 Deflate the
          D
air from both
       Bm   G D A
Of my lungs
D F#m      D
I can't go on
Bm  G
 Deflate the
          D
air from both
       Bm  G D A
Of my lungs
  F#m      D Bm G D Bm G D A
I can't go on
