These should be pretty accurate. I got the chords directly from Marshall, the lead 
singer, I just tried to place them in the right spot.
C#minI've got my head in the clouds,
With the Aadrenaline rush from a G#minburnt down brick house.
C#minI'm over thinking too loud,
From the Achemical touch of a G#minsecond-hand smoke cloud.
C#minCarve my name into your heart, then watch you fall apart,
I'm Aruthless, dishonest, and G#mincovered in scars.
Pouring C#minsympathy in the glass, but now it's running dry,
The Adevil's in the bottle and he G#mindares me to try.
C#minBecause I'm proud of my demons, they're Bone of a kind,
They Eplay in the fire, and Abreathe in the ice.
I C#minknow I should leave but I'm Bbarely alive, I'm Ebarely alive, I'm Abarely alive.
I wear my C#minheart on my sleeve and my Bmind in a vice,
I wErestle my conscience, it sAcratches and bites.
I C#minknow I should leave but I'm Bbarely alive, I'm Ebarely alive, I'm Abarely alive.
I C#minknow I should leave but I'm barely alive
C#minThe lies that live in my head,
Have all the Aweakness of a G#minbulletproof vest.
C#minTemptation leads to your bed,
Served with a Aglass of red wine, and a G#minlow-cut black dress.
C#minCarve my name into your heart, then watch you fall apart,
I'm Aruthless, dishonest, and G#mincovered in scars.
Pouring C#minsympathy in the glass, but now it's running dry,
The Adevil's in the bottle and he G#mindares me to try.
C#minBecause I'm proud of my demons, they're Bone of a kind,
They Eplay in the fire, and Abreathe in the ice.
I C#minknow I should leave but I'm Bbarely alive, I'm Ebarely alive, I'm Abarely alive.
I wear my C#minheart on my sleeve and my Bmind in a vice,
I wErestle my conscience, it sAcratches and bites.
I C#minknow I should leave but I'm Bbarely alive, I'm Ebarely alive, I'm Abarely alive.
I C#minknow I should leave but I'm barely alive
C#minCarve my name into your heart, then watch you fall apart,
I'm Aruthless, dishonest, and G#mincovered in scars.
C#minCarve my name into your heart, then watch you fall apart,
(I've got my head in the clouds)
I'm Aruthless, dishonest, and G#mincovered in scars.
(With the adrenaline rush from a burnt down brick house)
Pouring C#minsympathy in the glass, but now it's running dry,
(The lies that live in my head)
The dAevil's in the bottle and he G#mindares me to try.
(Have all the weakness of a bulletproof vest)
C#minBecause I'm proud of my demons, they're Bone of a kind,
They Eplay in the fire, and Abreathe in the ice.
I C#minknow I should leave but I'm Bbarely alive, I'm Ebarely alive, I'm Abarely alive.
I wear my C#minheart on my sleeve and my Bmind in a vice,
I wErestle my conscience, it sAcratches and bites.
I C#minknow I should leave but I'm Bbarely alive, I'm Ebarely alive, I'm Abarely alive.
I C#minknow I should leave but I'm barely alive
