[Intro]
G A G  x2

then
G D A  x2


[Verse 1]
G              D               G
  They say someday things will change
            D             G
And it will be perfectly okay
             D              G
But the only thing that has changed
          D
Is that I can see through the haze


[Chorus 1]
D          Em
  Watch my friends
F#m     D
Fade to gray
               Em
These stale routines
F#m                D  A G
Drain their lives away
Bm          A      D  A G
Drain their lives away
Bm          A      D  D D D
Drain their lives away


[Verse 2]
G                          A
  And it's killing me to believe
                  G
That you're truly happy
                        A
With the choices you've made
G            A                G
  The substances may dull the pain
                    A
But they will never wash them away


[Chorus 2]
D     Em     F#m  D
  Overworked Underpaid
               Em
These stale routines
F#m                D  A G
Drain their lives away
Bm          A      D  A G
Drain their lives away
Bm          A
Drain their lives away


[Isntrumental]
Bm G D A


[Bridge]
    Bm
The seconds pass like hours
          G
And these hours pass like days
D                      A
What do you know about being
        D
afraid? I woke up this morning
       A              G
at the end of my rope Covered
         Bm           A
in vomit from head to toe
D            A
I can't keep living this way
G                Bm    A
Something has to change


[Chorus 3/Outro]
D            A
  So tell me please Were
                     G
you searching for contentment?
                    Bm
You came home empty handed
       A            D
with a feeling of resentment
          A
Smoke and mirrors it's just
   F#m
an illusion The real world is
  G                     D
a joke and that's my conclusion
