F#5 C#5 A5 D5
(Verse)
F#5 C#5
Pulling down toxins from the atmosphere
A5 D5
Making all of my decisions based on fear
F#5 C#5
I never even cared about what I could be
A5 D5
declared a private war on authority
F#5 C#5
I got what you need because I'm a bad seed
A5 D5
I'm running on adrenaline and living on greed
F#5 C#5
I'm tired of being, I'm sick of my scene
A5 D5
looking for the end or a place
C#5
where I can finally come clean
(Chorus)
F#5
Because I remember one time
D5
something to live for
A5 C#5
Now so long ago
F#5
Faces
D5
always are changing
A5 B5
Lies and disguise for
C#5
the things we know
F#5
One time
D5
something to live for
A5 C#5
Somehow I lost my way
F#5 D5
Those times I pissed away now
A5
Echo in
B5 C#5
my darkest days
F#5
D5 C#5
(Verse)
F#5 C#5
Walking everyday thinking that I know best
A5 D5
Wearing my contempt like a bullet-proof vest
F#5 C#5
On my way gonna make it all mine
A5 D5
Rolling in the gutter just to kill some time
F#5 C#5
But I was dead wrong and now it's all gone
A5 D5
I won't become the fool that I've abused for so long
F#5 C#5
The line's played out and I've got to get back
A5 D5
Chase away the negative and throw
C#5
away the useless track
(Chorus)
F#5
Because I remember one time
D5
something to live for
A5 C#5
Now so long ago
F#5
Faces
D5
always are changing
A5 B5
Lies and disguise for
C#5
the things we know
F#5
One time
D5
something to live for
A5 C#5
Somehow I lost my way
F#5 D5
Those times I pissed away now

my darkest days

F#5 D5 E5
F#5 D5 E5
(Pre-Chorus)
F#5 D5
I've seen things I hope I never see again
(There's another place to fall)
E5
I don't want to have to bury any more friends
(There's another friend to call)
F#5 D5
Living on the edge of a sign of our times
(There's a world beyond yourself)
C#5
Dying in the wreckage we create with our crimes
(There are those who tried to help)
(Chorus)
F#5
one time
D5
something to live for
A5 C#5
Now so long ago
F#5
Faces
D5
always are changing
A5 B5
Lies and disguise for
C#5
the things we know
