Intro Part 1 
 Bm  D*->C#* E*->D* F#*->E*  G   F#x2 I think the best way to play the X* chords is by just 
                                  sliding on the A string.
Intro Part 2: 
Bm D Bm A D G
BmMessed up, once again 
told me it's OK 
but this pAath that I'm taking 
I'm lost in the deep end 
BmOne last chance, never more  
told me it's all right 
in this sAea of denial  
I'm cleansed in the fire 
So whGy is it me, 
am I blinded or too blind to seBme? 
[growl] (am I too blind to see?!) 
whGy was I born? 
not a pEmart of this sociF#ety? 
AgGain and agF#ain I triBmed 
so hard, to reach for the stars 
but I faGiled you all 
tried to keep stEmanding tall 
never had a real chF#ance at all 
              G         AIntro Part 1  
but still I'm searching 
BmSame thing, different day 
tried to make a change 
left with nAothing more to live for 
but everything to die for 
Bmhumanity, insanity, the everlasting grip 
lost all wAill to keep trying 
our bed we must lie in 
So whGy was I born 
Not a pEmart of this socF#iety? 
AgaGin and agaF#in I triBmed 
so hard, to reach for the stars

Intro Part 2:

Bm D Bm A D G

Messed up, once again

told me it's OK
