Ab / / / / / Eb / (x2) 

verse 1: 
Fm                         Eb 
  Cyclical, stuck inside a never ending rhyme 
           Ab                                      Cm 
But you're comfortable, just another day composing alibis 
Fm 
  Sing yourself to sleep, count the days gone by 
    Eb 
But outside of your walls passes real life 
   Ab 
So here's a velvet covered brick, death comes to us all too quick 
Cm 
Here's your chance to live, but I heard you say...
