G D
Hey again, I hope you know you've ruined my life.
C G
The bitterest words are never quite sincere.
Em G
But I gotta tell you one thing: it's all the same to me.
D C Cm G
It's in my blood and you don't feel the flow.
[ska chords (upstrokes)]
G D
I sat there, absorbing the ever-present real world,
C
wondering why people have to change all the time
Cm G
and about those who shift with the trends.
Em
Well, we both know I know better
G
than to point the blame at somebody else but myself,
D
so I'll put these words on the shelf
C G
with pictures of old friends.
[Chorus]

[I skip the transitional chords below but don't forget to play them in every
chorus!]
Em A
I can sit and ask myself what I'm doing wrong
C D7 G
but I'm right this time and these are my convictions
C D
that you're tearing down. I won't give up, even though
G C
it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now.
D G
She's not with us anymore.
[Verse]
G D
I sat there feeling frustrated. The autumn sky was rapidly
C G
turning to dusk and I'm feeling so fucking alone in this world.
Em You won't believe me when I tell you, but everything that I respect G D C Cm G is absent in you. So go shut me out and shut up as this scene rages on. [Chorus] [same transitions as before, but start with Em right away, and notice the different ending] Em A I can't decide what to do with people like you. C D7 G I can't take it on the chin 'cause these are my convictions C D that you're tearing down. I won't give up even though G C it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now. D Em D Em He's not with us anymore. I'm not changing for the world.

Em A I take this mental anguish, fist thrown at my head. C D Because I'm right this time. C D Yeah, I'm right this time. C D G I'm so right this time. These are my convictions C D that you're tearing down. I won't give up even though G C it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now. D Em D G She's not with us anymore. I'm not changing for the world. B I'm not changing for the world as we C G go! go! go! go! go! fists first to the world. C Your concrete morals mold life's prison cells and G F with fashion as warden, you're prisoners in hell in your world. G Rot in hell in your world.
