Intro: C#


C#
Somewhere along the way my hopefulness turned to sadness
Ab
Somewhere along the way my sadness turned to bitterness
Eb
Somewhere along the way my bitterness turned to anger
Ab
Somewhere along the way my anger turned to vengeance


    C#
And the ones that I make pay

Are never the ones who deserve it
    Ab
and the ones who deserve it they'll never understand it
    Eb
Yes, I know I am going to hell in a purple basket
    Ab
At least I will be in another world, while you're p**sing on my casket


Ab                  C# Fm Eb
How could you be Oh
               Ab   C# Fm Eb
So perfect for me? Oh
               Ab   C# Fm Eb
Why can't you ignore Oh
               Ab   C# Fm Eb
The things I did before?


C#
Somewhere along the way exacting vengeance gave excitement
Ab
Somewhere along the way that excitement turned to pleasure
Eb
Somewhere along the way that pleasure turned to madness
Ab
Sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain


C#
And the ones that I made pay were never ones who deserved it
Ab
Those who helped me along the way, I smacked them as I thanked them
Eb
Yes, I know I am going to hell in a leather jacket
Ab
At least I will be in another world, while you're p**sing on my casket

All that I can do now is sing a song of faded glory
And all you got to do is sit there look great and make them horny
Together we will sing songs and tell exaggerated stories
About the way we feel today, and tonight and in the morning

(There are two separate guitars here, but they play mostly the same notes. And I'm too lazy
to tab them both)

Ab                  C# Fm Eb
How could you be Oh
               Ab   C# Fm Eb
So perfect for me? Oh
               Ab   C# Fm Eb
Why can't you ignore Oh
               Ab   C# Fm Eb
The things I did before?


Eb
And take all your fears
Eb
And pretend they're all true
Eb
And take all your plans
Eb
And pretend they fell through
Eb                    Ab     C# Fm Eb
And that's what it's like, Oh
                 Ab             C#      Fm      Eb
That's what it's like for most people in this world

                Ab    C# Fm Eb
The rich or the poor Oh
           Ab    C# Fm C#
Muslims or Jews Oh
               Ab        C# Fm Eb
When roles are reversed Oh
             Ab   C#   Fm Eb
Opinions are too No, oh oh

third and sixth)

tricky, but doable.):

Before they come knockin' on my door now
