Standard (EADGBE)

Intro riff

Note: Play the first chord for the first three beats, and quickly

switch to the second chord for the final beat before again

quickly switching to the next chord in the next bar - almost

like you're performing a pull off, but actually strumming the

chord again.

well, i'm trying to be patient

 yeah, the wheels keep turnin' 'round

 but it's a treadmill and i'm just

 dragging my feet. i'm so tired

 of everything-defeated by routine-

 by words that don't mean anything to me

 at least not anymore, now that

 i'm done with the mourning of a

day without ending. a year of

decadance to escape from penance

 but i suffered and i'm over it

 yeah i'm fine now, but i'm sick of it

 i was happy being miserable

  >

i used to lay down my head at the bar > Strum these notes slowly

  > from the bass to high, and

and raise one lonely finger for a drink > let the notes ring out.

[play intro riff again, until:]

it doesn't have to be so difficult

 just keep coasting by. so you lost a limb

 well hell, those wounds will heal with time

 (but what happens when you loved what you lost?)

 you didn't have to cut it off

 but you did and i do and it took

 everything i had. i wonder if i could

ever get it back to how it was,

 when i still thought of love as a

risk i could take-if i was willing

 to make the commitment to rejection

 the mind games, the deception

 the late nights under the covers

  >

pointing the finger at who ever started >

  >

whatever we were fighting about >

 i guess that i'm fine now

 yeah, everything's better

 everything's cooled down-it's all copasetic

 we'll move on, off to a better world

 to a fresh start where everything's possible...

but i'm sick of it

 yeah, i'm sick of it

 no-i'm sick of it

 yeah, i'm sick of it

 i

 so sick

 of it

uh-huh
