[Verse 1]
F#           D                F#
One afterthought on a skin game
          D       E
"I took it as prescribed"
A            D   A         B
Vow do no harm, buy the cure
                               F#
But first you'll buy the disease


[Pre-Chorus]
                                        D    B F#
I can see you've had some struggles lately
                       D    B Bm
Hey man, I've had mine too


[Chorus]
F#                          A
Fighting to get through the door
F#                        A  F#m  B
But I can't live like this anymore
                        D
They gave us wings to fly
                E    B        F#
But then they took away the sky


[Verse 2]
                   D
Well, what you want?
          F#
"Serve me"
        D      E
Sell me to the spoon
A                           B
I'm cashing in, falling out, tear me down, hang me up
F#                  D         F#                D       E
Strung out to please the king in metropolitan's Sackler wing
A                    B            F#
I can help you, it's how I help myself


[Pre-Chorus]
                               E        D   Bm
I can see you've had some struggles lately
   F#             E    D   Bm
Hey man, I've had mine too


[Chorus]
F#                             A
Fighting to get through the door
F#                    A       F# B
But I can't live like this anymore

They gave us wings to fly
                             F#
But then they took away the sky


[Instrumental Break]
F#

A                B
"crack a window" "get some life"

F#

A                D        B
"crack a window" "get some life"

[Chorus]
F#               A
I wanna be your doll
F#                   F#m      B
But I won't be your dog anymore
                        D
You gave us wings to fly
                E   B          F#
But then you took away the sky


[Outro]
F#                   D
Sunken ceiling and a sideways grin
F#          D
We lived to use and we used to live
A
Crack a window
B                   F#
Get some life in you
                   D
Holding in coughs, hiding my head
F#           D
"Everybody respects the dead"
A                    B          E    F#
I can help you, it's how I help myself
                     D
Sunken ceiling and a sideways grin
F#                     D
We lived to use and we used to live
A
Crack a window
B                 F#
Get some life in me
