[Verse 1]
D              G            Bm         Bm
  I just wanna say that I’m sorry in advance,
D                  G             Bm         Bm
  count on me like clockwork, it won’t work.
D                  G                 Bm              Bm
  The only promise I can make is I’m changing all my plans
    D            G            Bm         Bm
and you’ll never see me again.

[Verse 2]
D                      G      Bm        Bm
  I’m warning you it’s over before it began,
D                 G               Bm         Bm
  we’re diving in headfirst, in reverse.
D                            G            D                     A
  You’re swimming through my wake and I’m slipping through your hands
    Bm           G       D         A
and you’ll never see me again.

[Pre-Chorus]
Em               G
Typical, it’s so cyclical
      Em                                A
I got one foot out the door but I don’t fight it anymore.

[Chorus]
G D/F#            Em          Em**   D/F#** G
  Don’t hold your breath, I’m faking my own death,
     D/F#           Em                 Em**         D/F#**  G
I’ll drop a burning match and burn the bridge that takes me back.
    D/F#          Em        Em**   D/F#** G
I’m putting it to rest, I’m faking my own death,
D/F#        Em             Em**   D/F#**   G  D     Em
three years passes and I’m rising from the ashes,
    Em**   D/F#**   G D    E        E
I’m rising from the ashes.

[Verse 3]
D                     G             Bm                Bm
  I’m stuck repeating history and I just can’t help myself,
D                      G              Bm         Bm
  it’s almost like I’m always someone else.
D                           G            D              A
  There’s nothing you could say to me in sickness or in health,
Bm        G       D         A
I hate it just as well.

[Pre-Chorus]
Em               G
Typical, it’s so cyclical
      Em                                A
I got one foot out the door but I don’t fight it anymore.

[Chorus]
G D/F#            Em          Em**   D/F#** G
  Don’t hold your breath, I’m faking my own death,
     D/F#           Em                 Em**         D/F#**  G
I’ll drop a burning match and burn the bridge that takes me back.
    D/F#          Em        Em**   D/F#** G
I’m putting it to rest, I’m faking my own death,
D/F#        Em             Em**   D/F#**   G  D     Em
three years passes and I’m rising from the ashes,
    Em**   D/F#**   G D    Em    Em**    D/F#** G  D    Em
I’m rising from the ashes,   I’m missing in     action,
Em**  D/F#** G  D     Em     Em
three years  passing.

[End-Chorus]
G D/F#            Em          Em**   D/F#** G
  Don’t hold your breath, I’m faking my own death,
     D/F#           Em                 Em**         D/F#**  G
I’ll drop a burning match and burn the bridge that takes me back.
    D/F#          Em        Em**   D/F#** G
I’m putting it to rest, I’m faking my own death,
D/F#        Em             Em**   D/F#**   G  D     Em
three years passes and I’m rising from the ashes,
    Em**   D/F#**   G D    Em        Em**  D/F#**
I’m rising from the ashes.
G     D      Em     Em**   D/F#**   G      D    Em
