Intro 
Eb Gm  x2 


 
Verse 1:
          Eb 
I've been meaning to ask you 
    Gm 
How life looks from the nose bleed 
          Cm            Bb 
seats And to ask how it feels 
              F 
to bleed Your life is a waste 
        Eb 
And the way that I'll ask it 
          Gm 
Will have revenge woven throughout 
            Cm 
But will be masked with the concern 
       Bb 
that a friend would bring 
       F 
You're so incomplete

Eb Gm  x2 


Verse 2:
       Eb 
Hold a mirror to show 
just what you've become 
              Gm 
And read your diary to figure 
out where things went wrong 
Cm 
I don't think I'll ever 
Bb               F 
understand How a cowardly cat 
can call himself a man 


Pre-Chorus
Gm 
You're all show and 
     F 
it's getting old 
Gm 
You're all show and 
     F          D/F# 
it's getting old 



Gm           F 
  As for the rest of us

We'll do fine with what 
                   D 
we have Making the best 
           D/F# Gm 
of what is left And 
         F 
you're a naysayer

Who will never know 
what it's like 
   D 
To really have 
D/F# 
half a life

Verse 3:
          Eb 
I've been meaning to harm 
       Gm 
you In the best way that 
              Cm 
I see fit I'm not sure 
        Bb 
if this did the trick 
      F 
But I think It did 
       Eb 
Hold a mirror to show 
just what you've become 
              Gm 
And read your eulogy to 
figure out where things 
          Cm 
went wrong  I hope one 
        Bb 
day you understand that 
  F 
A girl on your arm won't 
make you a man

it's getting old

Verse 2:

Cm             F 
  Keep walking down your

     F 
it's yours and yours alone

  Spoonfuls of shit will surely 
Gm     Eb            Bb 
add up Inside you're begging 
Eb  F          Gm   Eb 
for a cure for your disease
