Eb5....

Verse 3:
Eb5                  Bb5
   Can't you see the faces melting 
       C#5
as the sun rains from their eyes
Eb5          Bb5
   go on and keep your head with 
    C#5                    Eb5
the hearts that you left behind
            F5
look at yourself look in the 
F#5
mirror don't you see a lie?
         Eb5
that you tell yourself 
again a thousand times
        Eb5
and the truth that makes us 
laugh will make you cry
          G#5
You wanna die? No?
