[Verse 1]
This is the lAast time
This is the folC#mlow through I'll neBver find
You're beAtter off belC#mieving that I'm gBone
Feel the teAnsion
I'm a fC#muneral pBrocession
Driving ciArcles around mC#memories I've lBost
  E     ADon't wait up
When the moArning comes I pC#mromise I'll be AgoneB  
[Chorus]
I've been dAown
I've been hEit and knocked aC#mround
Found the Bworst side of this toAwn
Not the peErson I want to bBe
(You said youâd stay forever)
Scream it loAud
Not giving Ein or giving up right C#mnow
I need to fiBnd a way to cope somAehow
Not the peErson I want to bBe
I can't see what's in front of me
[Verse 2]
You feel diAstant
I only waC#mnt it when I neeBd it
Took the blAue line just to C#msee you one more tBime
I'm the coAncrete
That you feel benC#meath your fBeet
Cracked and broAken
The weather toC#mok its toll on mBe
  E     AHow loAng until you sBee
[Chorus]
I've been dAown
I've been hEit and knocked aC#mround
Found the Bworst side of this toAwn
Not the peErson I want to bBe
(You said you'd stay forever)
Scream it loAud
Not giving Ein or giving up right C#mnow
I need to fiBnd a way to cope somAehow
Not the peErson I want to bBe
I can't see what's in front of me

C#m

[Verse 1]

This is the last time

C#m B

This is the follow through I'll never find

A C#m B

You're better off believing that I'm gone

Feel the tension

C#m B

I'm a funeral procession

A C#m B

Driving circles around memories I've lost

E A

Don't wait up

A C#m A B

When the morning comes I promise I'll be gone

[Chorus]

I've been down

E C#m

I've been hit and knocked around

B A

Found the worst side of this town

E B

Not the person I want to be

(You said youâd stay forever)

Scream it loud

E C#m

Not giving in or giving up right now

B A

I need to find a way to cope somehow

E B

Not the person I want to be

I can't see what's in front of me

[Verse 2]

You feel distant

C#m B

I only want it when I need it

A C#m B

Took the blue line just to see you one more time

I'm the concrete

C#m B

That you feel beneath your feet

Cracked and broken

C#m B

The weather took its toll on me

E A A B

How long until you see

[Chorus]

I've been down

E C#m

I've been hit and knocked around

B A

Found the worst side of this town

E B

Not the person I want to be

(You said you'd stay forever)

Scream it loud

E C#m

Not giving in or giving up right now

B A

I need to find a way to cope somehow

E B

Not the person I want to be

I can't see what's in front of me

[Instrumental]

C#m B E A

[Bridge]

C#m B

Maybe it's all true

E A

I'll never find somebody like you

C#m B E A

Or maybe I should really be alone

C#m

Maybe it's all true

E A

I never wanted someone like you

C#m B E

It's finally time you make your way back home

(Make your way back home!)

[Outro]

I've been down

E C#m

I've been hit and knocked around

B A

Found the worst side of this town
