Intro: Am C F F

Am              C              F
  There's an echo pulling out the meaning
Am          C               F
  Rescuing a nightmare from a dream
Am                C             F
  The voices in my head are always screaming
Am                      C          F
  That none of this means anything to me


      Am
  And it's a long way back from seventeen
      C
  The whispers turn into a scream
      F
  And I'm not coming home


C
  Save your breathe, I'm nearly
G                         Am
  Bored to death and fading fast
F
  Life is too short to last long
C
  Back on earth I'm broken
G                        Am
  Lost and cold and fading fast
F
  Life is too short to last long


Am                 C              F
  There's a stranger staring at the ceiling
Am          C           F
  Rescuing a tiger from a tree
Am                  C              F
  The pictures in her head are always dreaming
Am                 C            F
  Each of them means everything to me


      Am
  And it's a long way back from seventeen
      C
  The whispers turn into a scream
      F
  And I'm not coming home


C
  Save your breathe, I'm nearly
G                         Am
  Bored to death and fading fast
F
  Life is too short to last long
C
  Back on earth I'm broken
G                        Am
  Lost and cold and fading fast
F
  Life is too short to last long

  I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down
        G                       C
  I said I'm sorry I'm a bit of a let down
C                                       F
  But all my friends are daring me to come over
           G                C
  So I come over and over and over

C                                                  F
  So let me buy you a drink and we'll pretend that you think
                        G                       C
  That I'm the man of your dreams come to life in a dive bar
C                             F
  And we'll go over and over and over
             G                C
  And we'll go over and over and over...

C                             F
  And we'll go over and over and over...
             G                (C)
  And we'll go over and over and over...
