verse 1 

Em        G            Am              Em 
Arguments sake: your a creep and I'm a saint 
        C          G            Am              Em 
But I'm down on my knees from a head I couldn't take 
  Em               G             Am      Em 
I shot through the core, the blow: i did receive 
       C               G              Am                 Em 
But i'd knew you would leave from the way you grind your teeth in your sleep 
         Am                 Em 
from the way you grind your teeth 

 
         Em    G             Am       Em 
The most fatal mistake I was dying to make 
    C               G                 Am                   Em 
But man it hurts to figure it out, it hurts when you figure it out 
      Em         G             Am           Em 
I'm a fool to my faith. Put my flesh to the flame 
    C               G                 Am                         Em 
But man it hurts to figure it out, it hurts when you figure it out 

verse 2 
  Em         G                Am          Em 
Illusions of grand, your lord, its such a shame 
            C         G                   Am              Em 
when you're trying to breathe, but you're tied around the waist 
   Em         C              Am      Em 
So pardon my lack of parting eloquently  
      C              G              Am                 Em 
Cos I knew you would leave from the way you grind your teeth 


         Em    G             Am       Em 
The most fatal mistake I was dying to make 
    C               G                 Am                   Em 
But man it hurts to figure it out, it hurts when you figure it out 
      Em         G             Am           Em 
I'm a fool to my faith. Put my flesh to the flame 
    C               G                 Am                         Em 
But man it hurts to figure it out, it hurts when you figure it out 

Em G Am Em 
C G Am Em 
Ooh ooh ooh 

Middle 8 

 Em       G              Am               Em 
Arguments sake: your the creep and Im the saint 
           C          G           Am              Em 
Still, I'm down on my knees from ahead, I could't take 
     C         G          Am               Em 
I'm down on my knees from ahead, I could't take 


         Em    G             Am       Em 
The most fatal mistake I was dying to make 
    C               G                 Am                   Em 
But man it hurts to figure it out, it hurts when you figure it out 
      Em         G             Am           Em 
I'm a fool to my faith. Put my flesh to the flame 
    C               G                 Am                         Em 
But man it hurts to figure it out, it hurts when you figure it out 
Ooh ooh ooh
