AMy friend says that the end holds nothing Emore
                                        BC#Minor
He don't hide his shame, says its all the same
Like a Aman wiBthout a naEme
INTRO AGAIN
AOld days asleep in the shade by the EBrandywine
                           BC#Minor
See a dog get paid, see a boy behave
            A           B         E  E(add 4th fret on

Every bone deserves a grave

With no more terrifying thoughts of dying
Aooh oooooh ooohC  
INTRO AGAIN
AMy Lord, I'm climbing aboard and I'm Egoing home
                           BC#Minor
No time to lose, no time to pack
                A         B       E  E(add 4th fret on

Take a step and take it back
E5But I hD#5eard the GooD5d Lord's C#5warning

                                 EC#Minor
Keep on with the living you'll soon enough be dead
             A           G#Minor       F#Minor
You got the whole world spinning in your head
and you don't want to give it up (Edon't give it up, don't give it up)
                                    EC#minor
Cause no one should be sorry, we're just another day
         A  G#Minor  F#Minor
You can say you'll be back
but you won't ever go away (won't go away, won't Ego away)
                                     EC#Minor
Cause love that never leaves is never ever welcome back
         A   G#Minor  F#Minor
and i'm running out of skin thick enough to hide in
E(won't go away, won't go away)
                                          EC#Minor
Now hand in hand we're back in time we're chasing the train
A             G#Minor           F#minor
Looking back looking back to wave goodbye
we're headed for the same disaster (Edon't give it up, don't give it up)
They play this lick a lot on the outro part
