Fig2>4x

Verse
A
farewell goodnight last one out turn out the lights
    Fig2        
and let me be let me die inside
let me know the way through this world of hate in you
cause the dye is cast and the bitch is back
and we're all dead, yeah we're all dead
E          G      C              A
inside the future of a shattered past

Chorus
Fig3
i   lie    just to be real,  and i'd   die    just to feel
why do the same old things keep on happening?
because beyond my hopes there are no feelings

Intro
Fig1>4x

Verse
Fig2
bless the martyrs and kiss the kids
for knowing better, for knowing this
cause you're all whores and i'm a fag
and i've got no mother and i've got no dad
E                   G         C             A
to save me from the wasted to save me from myself

Chorus
Fig3
i   lie    just to be real,  and i'd   die    just to feel
why do the same old things keep on happening?
because beyond my hopes there are no feelings
-repeats 3x-

Bridge
Fig1
-feedback-
Everyone's lost just waiting to be found
Everyone's a thought just waiting to fade

Verse
Fig2
so fuck it all cause i don't care
so what somehow somewhere we dared
E         G       C                 A
to try to dare to dare for a little more

Chorus
Fig3
i   lie    just to be real,  and i'd   die    just to feel
why do the same old things keep on happening?
because beyond my hopes there are no reasons
