Capo on 2nd fret 
 CI guess I am who I am, CI'll be this way til the end
I Emstand for what I belGieve in
Even if it's nothing!
I Cguess I am who I am, IC'll be this way til the end
I Emstand for what I belGieve in
Even if it's nothing!
TChis is the life I have Gchosen aAmnd ever step is a step unknown aAmnd every path leads 
me further away from ChomeC  
I Cknow but I swallowed the Gpoison, nAmow my body aches and my hands are numb
AmI can't remember where I went wrong, Cbut I did
CIt's like running with scissors
It's like playing with fEmire
It's like a loaded guGn
CCause I like drinking with the boys
AAmnd I play my music loud and EmI know that this does not make you too Gproud
WCell baby I'm not what you're looking for
DCoctor I need medication
AmCause my dizzy head brings the floor to face
AmI try to dodge or to deviate, buCt I can't
IC'm not lacking motivation
AmLife is short and my fuse lit
AmIf less is more then I take a hit, in Cthe end
ICt's like running with scissors
It's like playing with fEmire
It's like a loaded guGn
CCause I like drinking with the boys
AmAnd I play my music loud, and EmI know that this does not make you too Gproud
CWell baby I'm not what you're looking for
CI guess I am who I am
CI'll be this way til the end
EmI stand for what I belGieve in, even if it's nothing
CI guess I am who I am
IC'll be this way til the end
I Emstand for what I belieGve in, even if it's nothing
I Emstand for what I belieGve in, even if it's nothing!
CIt's like running with scissors
It's like playing with fEmire
It's like a loaded guGn
CCause I like drinking with the boys
AmAnd I play my music loud, and EmI know that this does not make you too pGroud
CWell baby I'm not what you're looking fAmor
CWell baby I'm not what you're looking Amfor
CWell baby I'm not what you're looking fAmor!
