 Am   F   C   G(x2)
[Verse 1]
AmToo many friends are asleep inside pine bFoxes
Suicide by abuse of a Ctoxins
Cause it’s easier to run Gaway
Then to deal with the bullshit of the day to Amday
And I really can’t blame youF  
Most days it’s hard to find a scrap of Chope
Should’ve been there to help you Gcope, but I was locked up in the brig of the same damn boat
[Chorus]
AmWhy should I sugarcoat it
FWe’re all gonna die
CIf we escape the coarse easily coerced
GI guarantee next time
AmI see you you’ll be strapped down to a Fbed
All cloaked in whiteC  
Rotting from the inside out Gbeneath fluorescent lights
So, Amfor the Flove of Cgod do as I Gsay not as I Amdo
I may not Fcare about Gmyself, but I care about you
AmKid I’ve Fbeen there and I’ve Cdone that

These sins are just ours to forgiveC  
This stigma might wear thin
GA life in pain, a love in vain
The veins & skin all weathered from a pin

FYou can’t understand their fear, ____ you refuse see them clearer
CVictims of this crooked game, (all) trapped inside a world insane,
GYou cast aside, mere shadows in a funhouse mirror

[Verse 1]

Am F

Too many friends are asleep inside pine boxes

Suicide by abuse of a toxins

Cause it’s easier to run away

Then to deal with the bullshit of the day to day

And I really can’t blame you

Most days it’s hard to find a scrap of hope

Should’ve been there to help you cope, but I was locked up in the brig of the same damn boat

[Chorus]

Why should I sugarcoat it

We’re all gonna die

If we escape the coarse easily coerced

I guarantee next time

Am F

I see you you’ll be strapped down to a bed

All cloaked in white

Rotting from the inside out beneath fluorescent lights

Am F C G Am

So, for the love of god do as I say not as I do

F G

I may not care about myself, but I care about you

Am F C

Kid I’ve been there and I’ve done that

G Am

It ain’t pretty it ain’t worth it

F G

So trust me stay the fuck away and you’ll be o-kay

[Instrumental]

Am F C G

[Verse 2]

Am F

These lives are only ours to live

These sins are just ours to forgive

This stigma might wear thin

A life in pain, a love in vain

The veins & skin all weathered from a pin

You never felt desire, might cast your soul on fire

You can’t understand their fear, ____ you refuse see them clearer

Victims of this crooked game, (all) trapped inside a world insane,

You cast aside, mere shadows in a funhouse mirror

[Chorus]

Why should I sugarcoat it

We’re all gonna die

If we escape the coarse easily coerced

I guarantee next time

Am F

I see you you’ll be strapped down to a bed

All cloaked in white

Rotting from the inside out beneath fluorescent lights

Am F C G Am

So, for the love of god do as I say not as I do

F G

I may not care about myself, but I care about you

Am F C

Kid I’ve been there and I’ve done that

G Am

It ain’t pretty it ain’t worth it

So trust me stay the fuck away

And you’ll be o-kay

[Bridge]

Am F

Life’s a minefield a treacherous road

C G

Call me selfish but I don’t want to travel it alone

Am F

So burn the crutches and mend the bones

C G

Cause we’ve still got so many miles to go

[Verse 3]

Am F

Stay awake stay alive

we've been building our demons

through the comfort of lies

with injections and bottles

we poison the mind

but don't crumble beneath

stay awake stay alive

Am F

Life’s a minefield a treacherous road

C G

Call me selfish but I don’t want to travel it alone

Am F

So burn the crutches and mend the bones

C G

Cause we’ve still got so many miles to go

Am F

Stay awake stay alive

C G

think of all of us here left behind

I know it's painful

the sickness contrived

but you're stronger than you know

so put up a fight

[Outro]

Am F C G
