[Verse 1]
It’s not surpEbrisingBb  
That you have Eball those woundsBb  
They're advertEbisingBb  
The things that yEbou've been throughBb  
It's tantalEbizingBb  
To psychoaEbnalyzeBb  
We're all downsEbizingBb  
What we do wEbith our lives
[Chorus 1]
There's not eFnough moneyBb  
In Ebthis whole wBborld
To Fpay for a bBbreak or Ebtwo
There's Fnot enough aBbrmor in a sEbuit of mBbail
Your Fbroken sBbkin's not bEblack or Bbblue
But dFamaged jBbust the sEbame
And who Fdoes not Bbfeel fracEbtured tooBb  
Like Ebbroken sBbkin
