Intro:
 A   B   C#  E(7th Fret) 2x
Verse:
   AI'll see what you want me to see
   Through rose-colored glasses
   I canC#'t see the blood in my hand
   ANow you're over, you're so C#over
   All over my head
   AI pray to God I find my way
   Back to somC#ething familiar
   Please tear me from this contrabAand
   Now it's over, it's so C#over
   It's under my bed
Chorus:
   AThe painting's wBorn pale
   Your eyes have sC#tarted fading
   Were they ever even really therEe
   ANothing to gBive with everything you tC#akeE  
   AThe cracks in youBr smile make it imposC#sible
   To decipher something legiblEe
   AYour porcelain fBace and a heart of glC#assE  
Verse 2:
(same as the first verse)
No time for dependency
We're going over at light speed
No scenery to stimulate
Something older, we grow older
But nothing ever seems to change
I pray to God you lose your way
You're something peculiar
On one leg only I'll still take a stand
I fall over, a tall order
These times I need to rearrange
After the first verse repeat the chorus again..
when playing the solo part, play the chords in the verse and then in the chorus part...
after the solo repeat the chorus and play C# part in the chorus until the end...
also when playing the chorus just listen to the parts where you have to mute the C#....

Intro:

A B C# E

(7th Fret) 2x

Verse:

I'll see what you want me to see

Through rose-colored glasses

I can't see the blood in my hand

A C#

Now you're over, you're so over

All over my head

I pray to God I find my way

Back to something familiar

Please tear me from this contraband

Now it's over, it's so over

It's under my bed

Chorus:

A B

The painting's worn pale

Your eyes have started fading

Were they ever even really there

A B C# E

Nothing to give with everything you take

A B C#

The cracks in your smile make it impossible

To decipher something legible

A B C# E

Your porcelain face and a heart of glass

Verse 2:

(same as the first verse)

No time for dependency

We're going over at light speed

No scenery to stimulate

Something older, we grow older

But nothing ever seems to change

I pray to God you lose your way

You're something peculiar

On one leg only I'll still take a stand

I fall over, a tall order

These times I need to rearrange
