chords: A5 B4#11 C#5

It's a sunny day on the west coast
And currently my shades are drawn, my TV's on
I haven't left this place for days
It's funny how things change

I take what I get and I throw it away and I break it
I had everything and you took it from me and I hate it
My thoughts run fast through me like a lethal injection
Like a lethal injection

Why does the world as I know it
Keep on bringing me down?
Do my best to hide it
But it keeps on bringing me down

No matter how high that I try and climb
I'll be pulled back down again
Why does the world as I know it
Keep on bringing me down?
Keep on bringing me down
Keep on bringing me down

It's 5 p.m. and I'm still locked in
And my guitar's tuned wrong, my voice is gone
I haven't seen sunlight in days
It's funny how things change

I take what I get and I throw it away and I break it
I had everything and you took it from me and I hate it
My thoughts run fast through me like a lethal injection
Like a lethal injection

Why does the world as I know it
Keep on bringing me down?
Do my best to hide it
But it keeps on bringing me down

No matter how high that I try and climb
I'll be pulled back down again
Why does the world as I know it
Keep on bringing me down?
Keep on bringing me down
Keep on bringing me down

Why does the world as I know it
Keep on bringing me down?
Do my best to hide it
But it keeps on bringing me down

No matter how high that I try and climb
I'll be pulled back down again
Why does the world as I know it
Keep on bringing me down?
Keep on bringing me down
Keep on bringing me down
