Bm
so you get six months to adapt
G
and you get two more to leave town
Bm
and in the event that you do adapt
G                     A
we might not want you around


After the second chorus and for the rest of the song just play verse riff
with distortion and end on a G major chord.


I dreamt of a Fever, one that would cure me from this cold winter set heart
and left with reasons as to carry on, throughout these twisted months I 
already plunged without a light to follow
but I swear that I´d follow anything - just get me out of here

So you get six months to adapt 
and you get two more to leave town
and in the event that you do adapt
we might not want you around

But I fell for the promise of a life with a purpose but I know that it´s 
impossible now
and so I drink to stay warm and to kill selected memories
cause I can´t think anymore about that or about her tonight

And I give myself three days to feel better
or else I swear I´m driving off that ***ing cliff
cause if I can´t learn myself to feel better
how can I expect anyone else to give a ***?

And I scream fot the sunlight or a car to take me anywhere, just get me past
that dead and eternal snow
Cause I swear I am dying, slowely but it´s happening and if the perfect spring 
is waiting somewhere - just take me there

And lie to me and say it´s gonna be alright
it´s gonna be alright, it´s gonna be alright
no, you worry way too much, kid, it´s gonna be alright
it´s gonna be alright
