Never said I was innocent
I will burn in Hell for the things I've done to you
Never said I was anything good
I should die from the shame from what I put you through

Verse 2

E             F(1)                          C   
Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead
                A                        G (2 fr.)
I will take the blame for everything
                F (2 fr.)                           
You know I just wanna help you forget

C      F(1) E       A      F(1) E      (x2)

Verse 3 (all chords in this verse are sort of muted)

C            F(1) E     A              F(1) E   
We are still living on broken glass
C            F(1) E           A          F(1) E   
We are still numb because it just keeps happening
C        F(1) E             A              F(1) E   
All your friends, they can kiss my ass
C         F(1) E          A              F(1) E   
They only see the simple things that they wanna see

Verse 4

E             F(1)                    C       
Let me be the one to make the pain go away
         A                         G (2 fr.)
Shave my skin and show a brand new face
                F (2 fr.)
You know I just wanna know that you're okay

C      F(1) E       A      F(1) E     (x1)

(just drums and background choir)
You don't have to like it but the swing is in my hands now

(Riff 2)
Sometimes I think the power is better than a hard drug
(Riff 2)
Sometimes I think the power is better than anything
G (2 fr.)      A        D             F(1)                   
Sometimes I think letting go is just like giving up
G (2 fr.)          A                   D               
Sometimes all I think I wanna do is die inside
F(1)
All I wanna do is die inside
F(1)
All I ever think about is you and me falling apart

C      F(1) E       A      F(1) E     (x7)
Yeah... Ohhh... Yeah... Ohhh... Yeah... Ohhh... Yeah... Oh..

I will burn in Hell for the things I have done to you
C     F(1) E     A            F(1) E     
Never said I was anything good
(just drums)
Na na na na...

( * - This F isn't actually played by the guitar, but the vocals suggest it.)

Outro

(Riff 1 x2)

(Then- * means start individually strumming strings here)

    Sometimes      I think
              A                        G (2 fr.)*
Letting go is just like giving up
                F (2 fr.)                   C           
Sometimes all I think about is falling apart
