Intro verse

I can't go on...

 Deflate the air from both of my lungs

Then,

Riff 1

Verse 1

(use Riff 2 for this verse) [Riff 2 at bottom of page]

Fears one by one, followed me home, and became reality

 I'm a failure I'm a freak, I'm a chip on your shoulder

 The last thing you need.

Verse 2

(use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)

I shudder earthquakes at the thought of a life that's meaningless

And with such a promising past but you can always count on me

To choke in the end

Chorus

I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs

 I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...

Verse 3

(use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)

Honestly I'm taking big strides, in a race towards normalcy

Where more is more and less is weak. Where love is crap

Emotion speaks for us all.

Verse 4

(use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)

What's really right? Who's who to say? I can survive alone again.

I figured that out the hardest way. The forecast calls for fire

But flames sound nice today.

Chorus

(use chorus chords)

I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs

I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...

It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more

I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care

Solo

(solo to come later)

- x4

Bridge

I left a note on your bed. I don't recall what it said

 Something like how I'm completely miserable and I'm better off dead.

Chorus

I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs

I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...

It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more

I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care

Outro chorus

(repeat 3x and fade out on 3rd)

I can't go on, (I can't go on)

 deflate the air from both of my lungs

Riff 2
