Tom: G

B           Am                G  G2
 I was caught inside the wreck  
        D           G
Never found my way out 
      F#m                E
I was filled with indifference 
B        G#m               G    G2
 The animals were getting tired 
       D           G
So I sang them a song 
            F#m                        E
'cause they promised not to take too long 

B        Am               G   G2
 I can't find my way back home 
             D               G
 I'll listen to you if you want me to 
F#m                        G
But you have to share a smoke 
B               G#m                 G   G2
 Yeah I've been running against the wind 
            D                 G
And I can't hear the angels calling 
    F#m                      G
The madness has been pulling me right 

Em
Back out of my stride 
                         F#m
I feel the change in the rising tide and 
Em
  Blood is in the room 
                F#m                  D
I buried all my wrongs there with my youth 

(D)         G            F#m
(Don't give up on me now) 
           D
I'm on the outside 
(D)         G          F#m
(Don't give up on me now) 
                 B  Am  G  G2  D  G  F#m  E
And I'm falling apart 


B                Am                  G   G2
 Well please to meet you, excuse my hands 
          D            G
I've been bitten by an enemy 
          F#m             G
That's pretended to be my friend 
B                G#m          G
 No I never wanted to be like them 
  G2                     D
I thought I was just too clever 
      G                       F#m                   G
To be brought down to their level of misfortuned chagrin 

B           Am                 G
 I don't care about what it's worth 
    G2               D              G
But if you lift this burden off my back 
     F#m                       E
I'll follow you to the bloody end 
B               G#m           G
 I've lived my life the way I want 
    G2              D               G
But no one can tell me they're not afraid 
       F#m              G
Of the freedom of deliverance 

       Em
Well I take it all in stride 
                         F#m
I feel the change in the rising tide  
  Em
And someone's in the room 
                F#m                 G
I buried all my guilt there with my youth 


(D)         G            F#m
(Don't give up on me now) 
           D
I'm on the outside 
(D)         G          F#m
(Don't give up on me now) 
                     D
But it's warm on the outside 
(D)         G          F#m
(Don't give up on me now) 
          G
That's a lie 
                   A   B
I don't wanna fall apart 

Interlude 2x: B  Am  G  G2  D  G  F#m  G

          B              Am
Yeah well me? I've been afraid 
  G                          G2
I clawed and I fought like hell 
    D       G       F#m
The darkest days upon you 

G         B                 Am
Yeah well me? I've gone astray 
   G                      G2
My blood was turning to sand 
    D       G       F#m
The darkest days upon you 

G         D              Am
Yeah well me? I've been afraid 
    G                      G2
The numbness was getting closer 
    D        G       F#m
The feverish days upon you
