Am           E             Dm                   Am
To my loving mom and dad, I’m sorry and I’m to blame
                 E         Dm                       E
Knees weak and crumbling, thumb pressed and bitten away
Am                E              Dm                 Am
To my brother, sister, and the rest, I’ll see you around
               Dm          E         Dm       Am
My sole is blackening, I’m breaking all of it down (yeah)
Am               E                 Dm              Am
Measure out the size of it, sure, any pattern will do
           Dm             E          Dm          Am
Ends justify the seams, it’s all of the same to you

[pre-chorus]
                               E          Dm
I cried “Why can’t I just be loved?” to no one
         Am              E               Dm
Maybe grinding my old scissors I could slice the look my off my face

[chorus]
           Dm                Am                 E              Am
Send me a sign, some god on high, show me the words I need to know
            Dm                Am
So say I’m fine and clear my mind
                E  Dm   Am
‘Cause why not? I C N’T KNOW
           Dm            Am                E                Am
Facing a new day with a new pain, rocking up and down the night
             Dm               E                     Am
Ripping at seams, I beg and plead, just sew me up again

[verse]
                     E           Dm                  Am
To the world I say goodbye, and sir I’m wishing you well
               E                 Dm                    E
Pushing out my chest to see me drool through tiresome hell

[bridge]

E         Am        Dm         E
What do I spy with fully open eyes?
Am        E         Dm         Am
All that I spy are idiots and lies!
E         Am        Dm         E
What do I spy with fully open eyes?
Am        E         Dm         Am
All that I spy are idiots and lies!

[pre-chorus]
                     E                   Dm
Aah, can never get enough of the right stuff
          Am            E            Dm
Needles oversized to pulverize this heart beating out my chest

[chorus]
           Dm                Am                 E              Am
Send me a sign, some god on high, show me the words I need to know
            Dm                Am
So say I’m fine and clear my mind
                E  Dm    Am
‘Cause why not? I C N’T KNOW
           Dm            Am               E                Am
Facing a new day with a new pain, rocking up and down the night
             Dm               E                    Am
Ripping at seams, I beg and plead, just sew me up again
                    Dm                   Am              E            Am
There’s nothing to find, no, nothing to find, I severed everything I had
          Dm                     Am                E   Dm  Am
Sinking alive through waves of twine, dragging me down alone
                Dm                   Am              E              Am
I’m nowhere to find, no, nowhere to find, threw me aside and left again
         Dm               E                     Am
Running away from now a place I’ll never call a home
       Dm                 Am                E               Am
Am I alive? Aah SHUT UP! More lies falling out this living mask
              Dm               Am             E  Dm  Am
Give me the endgame, skip the foreplay before I explode
             Dm                    Am
Can I ever change? Can I stay the same?
               E              Am
Fade away? But save who I am inside!
             Dm                E                       Am
Ripping at seams, I pull the string to finally meet the end

[verse]
                          E         Dm                  Am
Days at end, the flames alit with life are starting to loom
              Dm              E       Dm       Am
Patch it up without me then, cause anybody will do
