Ab C# E D E 





E                          C# 
Yeah, I get it, you're an outcast 
             E 
Always under attack, always coming in last 
          
Bringing up the past, no one owes you anything 
                   C# 
I think you need a shotgun blast, a kick in the ass 
   E         D                Ab D Ab 
So paranoid, watch your back 
Ab      F 
Oh my, here we go 
         D 
Another lose cannon gone bi-polar 

Slipped down, couldn't get much lower 
                   F 
Quicksand's got no sense of humor 
Ab 
I'm still laughing like hell 
F         D 
You think that by crying to me 

Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe 
                          Bb 
You've been infected by a social disease 
           Ab 
Well, then take your medicine 
Bb            D                           F 
I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain 
            C 
Somehow I'm still here to explain 
Bb               D                       F 
That the darkest hour never comes in the night 
                     C 
You can sleep with a gun 
                           Ab     D             Ab 

When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself? 

Break D Ab 

G                   D 
I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality 

If there's an afterlife then it'll set you free 
                  F 
But I'm not gonna part the seas 
         Ab              D 
You're a self-fulfilling prophecy 

You think that by crying to me 
                          F 
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe 

You've been infected by a social disease 
                     Bb 
Well, then take your medicine 
              D                           F

                     C 
You can sleep with a gun 
                           Ab    C 
When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself?
