Intro: G#


F*                                                F*       D#  A#
Never thought that I'd be the one to say I've had enough
F*                                                   D#/F*    D#/F*
I've opened up my closet, the skeletons are catching up,
A#                           Am              A             Dm
I'm waiting for my chance to bail but the goddamn ship set sail,
          Gm      Am        A#m    Bm
I know without a doubt that I want out,
    Cm                            G#m
But there's not a chance in hell.


F
Time to admit it, a man's gotta limit,
                        Gm  G#m  Am  A#m
Going through the motions,
A#m
I'm at the bottom, lost and forgotten,
F
Going through the motions,
    Gm
My mind's about to overload,
        A#m
It's a timebomb and it's set to blow,
 G#m
When we'll be,
F                   D#m    A#      F*
Going through the motions, go, go, go.


F*                                        F*    D#  A#
Ten minutes later and finally I've got it up,
    F*                                                       D#m/F*  D#m/F*
You know that something's wrong when you've begun to gather dust,
   A#                          Am
So what's the point in aiming tall?
             A             Dm
When you're guaranteed to fall,
     Gm         Am          A#m    Bm       Cm                  G#m
My reflections cracked and looking back I'm so unrecognisable.


F
Time to admit it, a man's gotta limit,
                        Gm  G#m  Am  A#m
Going through the motions,
A#m
I'm at the bottom, lost and forgotten,
F
Going through the motions,
    Gm
My mind's about to overload,
        A#m
It's a timebomb and it's set to blow,
 G#m
When we'll be,
F                   D#m    A#      F*
Going through the motions, go, go, go.


F*  D#  C  F F# G G# A  A#  C C#  D#


F*                 A#                C
Going through the motions. (x 11)   yeah


(Pause)
Time to admit it, a man's gotta limit,

F     Gm  G#m  Am  A#m

   A#m
Oh I'm at the bottom, lost and forgotten,
F
Going through the motions,
    Gm
My mind's about to overload,
        A#m
It's a timebomb and it's set to blow,
 G#m
When we'll be,
F                   D#m
