Standard (EADGBE)

 1rst part: ..... and so it goes

Life has betrayed me once again,

I accept some things will never change.

I've let your tiny minds magnify my agony,

and it's left me with a chem'cal dependency for sanity.

 2nd part: ..... and so it goes

Yes, I am falling... how much longer till I hit the ground?

I can't tell you why I'm breaking down.

Do you wonder why I prefer to be alone?

Have I really lost control?

 3rd part: , , ..... and so it goes

I'm coming to an end,

I've realised what I could have been.

I can't sleep so I take a breath and hide behind my bravest mask,

I admit I've lost control.

and Am, F, G for the ending
