Verse 1:
F#5               A5
Not sure how this is 
            D5
supposed to feel
F#5            A5
Cutting like a red hot 
         D5
knife of surgical steel
F#5              A5
   Brought flesh from 
        D5
the autoclave
    F#5
She came, she came 
      A5
with sterile warning
 E5                          D5
Screaming from her blade is in
"I want to make you bleed."


Chorus 1:
A5
  I watched them fall in
    A5   D5
line    as I fell victim
A5                  F#5
  To double suicide 
        D5
on your television
A5
  We heard our records
A5      D5
backwards too many times
A5
  I'm wasting my breath
F#5      D5       E5   F#5 A5 D5
   we're wasting our time
            F#5 A5 D5 A5
Wasting our time


Verse 2:
F#5           A5
   Down on my knees 
           D5
but not to pray
F#5          A5
Hit so hard across the 
         D5
skull it buckled my legs
F#5             A5
   They told me I 
            D5
had hell to pay
  F#5
I came I came too 
A5
close to heaven
E5
Had nothing to 
          D5
say for myself
I had to walk away


Chorus 2:
A5
  I watched them fall in
    A5   D5
line    as I fell victim
A5                  F#5
  To double suicide 
        D5
on your television
A5
  We heard our records
A5      D5
backwards too many times
A5
  I'm wasting my breath
F#5      D5       E5   F#5 A5 D5
   we're wasting our time
            F#5 A5 D5
Wasting our time
F#5 A5 D5
time
            F#5 A5
wasting our time
           D5
wasting our time
