D                              A 
I open up the photograph book, see the pictures, they?ve all faded 
G                                  Em 
I see the smiles and the laughter, and the ones not so hated. 
G                       D                                                *  D * 
Empty bottles of booze, empty bottles of pills, well, I guess, that this is it. 
G                                            C                                   D 
I'm standing tall on the high high building, looking down where I'm just about to hit. 
D                                 A 
I think back, throughout my life, and, all the people that I've hated. 
G                          Em                    D * Em 
Well I guess, I guess this life is, It's just to over-rated. 
A 
So now I stand! 
G                             D                          C 
I can't believe, I'm standing here up top, this old tall rooftop. 
G                                           Em 
I never thought that it would come to this, but I have to show the ones I once loved. 
Em                          C   Em                C 
That I?ll jump, that I?ll fall. That I?ll hit the ground so hard and 
Em                    C                   G                         D 
And then they?ll see, they?ll see it all. The boy who was literally torn apart. 
D                       A                                        G 
Another puzzle, another dream smashed down, down the empty alley-way. 
G                                Em 
In a way all the joy left in me, leave my body out here to decay. 
G             D                                                 *    D  * D * D 
I think back, I think back when we said, everything, everything will be alright. 
G                                        D                                          D 
Well I'm left here, left here better off dead. And I guess that my vision is out of time. 
A                 G                                      D                         C 
So once again I'm that way. I can't believe I'm standing here up top this old tall rooftop. 
G                                           Em                                  
I never thought that it would come to this, but I have to show the ones I once loved. 
Em                            C     Em                C                  Em 
That I?ll jump, and that I?ll fall, that I?ll hit the ground so hard and then they?ll see, 
C                   G                         D 
they?ll see it all. The boy who was literally torn apart. 
G 
That boy who was literally torn apart. 
G 
That boy who was literally torn apart. 
Em                                C         Em                C                   Em 
And then I?ll jump, and then I?ll fall, and then I?ll hit the ground so hard and, then they?ll see, 
C                   G                           D 
they?ll see it all. When my heart was literally torn apart.
