I think that this is how the intro goes:
Intro/Verse 1:
[G]spend your lazy |[C] endless crazy [D]|[C] days inside my head
[G]you're so selfish |[C] your not the only[D]
[C]one who thinks he's dead
[G]i'm paid to smile |[C] now I'm on [D]trial[C]
for what you think i said[G]
Bridge (i think):
[G]cuz i never [?2]said | that e[?1]verything would be o[D]kay
and i never [G]said | that [?1]we would live to see another day
[D] yeah yeah yeah yeah
Chorus:
[G] [C] [D] [C] [Cb] [A] [G]
motivate me | i wanna get myself out of this bed
[C] [D] [C] [Cb] [A] [G]
captivate me | i want good thoughts inside of my head
[C] [D]
when i fall down would you come around
[C] [G]
and pick me right up off the ground
[C] [D]
when i fall down would you come around
[C] [G]
and pick me right up off the ground
Verse 2 (*G, C and D* just like in the intro):
i'm un-artistic / unrealistic
you say i'm selfish and absurb
you try to change me / try to save me
you say i'm gonna learn
i'm so blind, i'm out of time
you're so unkind sometimes
i never lied, i never lied, i never lied
