[Intro]
EYou forgot to say bye when you said it was time to go -
EDidn't think I'd be back so soon did you?
EWhere's the love that you spoke of? Where's the 'welcome home'?
EI don't get it, but the other side misses you
[Interlude]
 E   A   B(x2)
[Verse]
EOne by one you'll end up just like the rest of usA  B  
EIn a line, waiting quietly for your turnA  B  
EResurrection's just a ploy to raise a fussA  B  
Ewhen everyone just ends up in the eG#marthA  
[Pre-Chorus]
So for C#mone last time would you just pElant one on my cheek
and tell me C#myou're alright and everything's a-oBk?
