E D A E A
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
D A E A
And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
D A E A
And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
D A E A
And even if I could I would never give up
D A E A
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
D A E A
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
D A E A
So if and when I die, won't you bury me alone?
D A E A
Because I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song:
E
D A E A (x4)
D A
If there was something wrong would you be oh-so strong?
D A
Would you do what it takes to move this hollow life along?
D A
I'd like to think I would, you know I'd like to think I would
D A
But I can guarantee that what you see is not reality
D A
And every time she makes a point, I make a counterpoint
D A
She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
D A
And you know, that's only just the way it goes
D A
(You said it right man, that is just the way it goes)
D A
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
D A
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
D A
But forever isn't ever enough
D A
I'd like to sing a song -- Promise you won't be long
D A
I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong
D A
There was a kid who never cared about the little things
D A
Don't even bother because I'm tired and I'm sick of it
D A
And every time she makes a point, I'll make a counterpoint
D A
She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
D A
And you know that's only just the way it goes
D E
(You said it right man, that is just the way it goes)
D E
E D A E A
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
D A E A
And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
D A E A
And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
D A E A
And even if I could I would never give up
D A E A
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
D A E A
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
D A E A
So if and when I die, won't you bury me alone?
D A E A
Because I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song:
B D A
Oh, you don't know where I've been
D A E A (x2)
B D A
Oh, you don't know what I've seen
D A E A (x2)
A D A
If I did something right, would you give up this fight?
D A
Would you say you were wrong and maybe someone else was kind of right
D A
I'd like to think you would, you know I'd like to think you would
D A
But I can guarantee that what you get is an apology
D A
Jump back to the day we met, I never
D A
Thought that it would end this way, if ever
D A
I let you down, I want to ask of you
D A
To take it down a notch and we can talk it on through
D A
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
D A
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
D A
But forever isn't ever enough
D A
I'd like to sing a song -- Promise you won't be long
D A
I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong
D A
There was a chick who never cared about the little things
D A
Don't bother, 'cause I still don't give a sh*t
D A
And every time she makes a point, I'll make a counterpoint
D A
She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
D A
And you know that's only just the way it goes
D E
(You said it right man, that is just the way it goes)
D E
E D A E A
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
D A E A
And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
D A E A
And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
D A E A
And even if I could I would never give up
D A E A
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
D A E A
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
D A E A
So if and when I die, won't you bury me alone?
D A E A
Because I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song:
B D A
Oh, you don't know where I've been
D A E A (x2)
B D A
Oh, you don't know what I've seen
D A E A (x6)
(mute last A)
A
So tell me friend: how's it going to end?
D
When the sh*t goes down and there's no one left around to get your back
A
You'll crack, you'll smile and agree
D
With everything they say, they'll try to tell you that it's all okay
A
But it's not and you're shot, you're bleeding pretty bad
D
and you can't stop thinking about the things you never had
A
Like a wife and a kid and the things you never did
D A D
You're running around, you're living a life that's empty in the end, my friend
D A E A (x2)
B D A
No, you'll take back all you've said
D A E A (x2)
B D A
Oh, when the regrets fill your head
D A E A (x2)
B D
Trust me I've been there before
B
I would not wish it upon my greatest enemy
D B
What irony, once friends, but I find:
D A
you'll have to learn this lesson on your own
D A E A (x4)
D A E A
so I waited by the phone but that phone never rang
D A E A
and I sang so loud so I wouldn't hear the bang
D A E A
when the bang never came and I never got the call
D A E A
f**k it! Thank you! I love you all!
D A E A
Oh, some are going to say that we're doomed to repeat
D A E A
All our past mistakes, great, but that's not me
D A E A
and even if it was I would always disagree
D A E A
because in the end I always get the better of me
D A E A (x2)
E D A E A
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
D A E A
And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
D A E A
And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
D A E A
And even if I could I would never give up
D A E A
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
D A E A
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
D A E A
So if and when I die, won't you bury me alone?
D A E A
Because I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song:
B D A
Oh, I'll take you where I've been
D A E A (x2)
B D A
Oh, I'll show you what I've seen
D A E A (x4)
