Here's my acoustic version of this wondeful song:
C#m _
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A B
C#m (x13321@4) F#m (244222@1) A (x02220@1)So please don't ask me how
B (x2444x@1) C#mI (x13321@4)ended up at my wits end
F#m (244222@1) AAnd (x02220@1)breaking down
B (x2444x@1) C#m (x13321@4) F#mPages (244222@1)torn from books we never read,
A (x02220@1) BCause (x2444x@1)we're plugged into this grid.
C#m (x13321@4) F#mDon't (244222@1)pull this plug right now,
A (x02220@1) BOr (x2444x@1)then we'd really have to live.
A (x02220@1) F#mWhen (244222@1)I die, will they remember not
A (x02220@1) F#mWhat (244222@1)I did, but what I haven't done?
A (x02220@1) F#mIt's (244222@1)not the end that I fear with each breath
A (x02220@1) BIt's (x2444x@1)life that scares me to death.
EWhen (022100@1)we built these dreams on sand
BHow (x2444x@1)they all slipped through our hands
C#m (x13321@4) AThis (x02220@1)might be our only chance
ELet's (022100@1)take this one day at a time
BI'll (x2444x@1)hold your hand if you hold mine
C#m (x13321@4) AThe (x02220@1)time that we kill keeps us alive.
C#m F#m A B

C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A B
C#m (x13321@4) F#m (244222@1) AYour (x02220@1)words won't save me now.
B (x2444x@1) C#m (x13321@4) F#m (244222@1) AI'm (x02220@1)at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow.
B (x2444x@1) C#m (x13321@4) F#m"Get (244222@1)a grip on yourself" is what they say,
A (x02220@1) BEvery (x2444x@1)hour, every day.
C#m (x13321@4) F#mHands (244222@1)over my ears,
A (x02220@1) BI've (x2444x@1)been screaming all these years!
A (x02220@1) F#mWhen (244222@1)I die, will they remember not
A (x02220@1) F#mWhat (244222@1)I did, but what I haven't done?
A (x02220@1) F#mIt's (244222@1)not the end that I fear with each breath
A (x02220@1) BIt's (x2444x@1)life that scares me to death.
