[Verse 1]

B F#m A

I'm not interested in what you have to say

G B

You're just a vacant space

F#m A

Other people's lives upon which you prey

It's a permanent disgrace

F#m A

Why do you think you know what's best for me?

G B

What I should and shouldn't do

F#m A

Why do you judge my history

And tell me to improve?

[Chorus]

D C

In the confines of your mind

F G

You think we're all the same

D G

I've left them all behind

Though you wish I hadn't

[Verse 2]

B F#m A

In finding fault in others I can't see

G B

What you have to gain

F#m A

I know that you get pleasure from

G B

Other people's pain

F#m A

You're not so perfect and I realise the scene

G B

That you're all coming from

F#m A

When you say you care I know what you mean

You're really lying

[Chorus]

All the people around here

Love to hear about a fall

They all surface and disappear

In an instant
