Intro Verse:
[D] I c[F#]an't go [D]on...
De[D2]flate the air from [G]both of my [D]lungs
Then,
Riff 1:

e--------------------------------|
B-----3-2------------3-2---------|
G---------2-0------------2-0-----|
D--0--------------0-----------4--|
Verse 1: (use Riff 2 for this verse) (Riff 2 at bottom of page)
[D]Fears one by on[G]e, followed me h[D]ome, and be[G]came reali[D]ty
I'm a f[G]ailure I'm a [D]freak, I'm a [G]chip on your shoulder
The l[D]ast thing you [A]need.
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
I shudder earthquakes at the thought of a life that's meaningless
And with such a promising past but you can always count on me
To choke in the end
Chorus:
[D] I [F#]can't go [D]on, def[D2]late the air from b[G]oth of my l[D]ungs
I'll be g[Bm]one, l[G]ong before d[D]aylight shows it's f[A]ace...
Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
Honestly I'm taking big strides, in a race towards normalcy
Where more is more and less is weak. Where love is crap
Emotion speaks for us all.
Verse 4: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
What's really right? Who's who to say? I can survive alone again.
I figured that out the hardest way. The forecast calls for fire
But flames sound nice today.
Chorus: (use chorus chords)
I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...
It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more
I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care
Solo: (solo to come later)
D-G x4
Bridge:
[D] [G] I left a note on your [D]bed. [A] I don't recall what it s[D]aid[G]
Something like how I'm com[E]pletely miserable and [G]I'm better off d[A]ead.
Chorus:
I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face...
It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more
I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care
Outro Chorus: (repeat 3x and fade out on 3rd)
[D] I c[F#]an't go [D]on, (I can't go [D2]on)
def[G]late the air from [D]both of my [Bm]lungs[G][D][A]
Riff 2: Verse palm muted guitar accompaniment(play note 4x for every one note)
