VERSE1(pt1)
For the first part of the verses I don?t play the
Two e strings which is why I play a normal b 
chord as well as a barred one as they will make slightly
different sounds, I will denote the barre chords
with a (b) after the chord.

E             B
 What am I to say?
                      C#m
I'm all wrapped up in apathy
                    A(b)      B(b)
and I don't want to stay this way
E                        B
 There's nothing left to do
              C#m
now that I am onto you
              A(b)        B(b)
All I want to know is the truth

VERSE1(pt2)
Play all six/five strings here
      C#m           A
And I don't want to go
      E           B
but I feel like I should
           C#m     A
Cause' I'm falling apart
      E             B
and I might, and I, and I

CHORUS
              E5            B5
How could you be the better part of me
           C#5                          A5
when we're only half of what we used to be?
B5               E5              B5
Today, could you see, this isn't what we need
        C#5                             A5
and I'm leaving all the pieces how they fell
       B5           E
So goodbye, farewell

VERSE2(pt1)
E            B
What am I to say? 
                 C#m
I still remember everyday
               A(b)  B(b)
Memories don't fade away

VERSE2(pt2)
Plam mute these chords

C#5               A5
And it all falls apart
       E5             B5
in the shadows of the past
       C#5           A5
It can seem to be so hard
         E5                B5
But it's time the feelings past

B5               E5              B5

And pull your triggers now What you waiting for?
  G#            A                     E          G#
I stand accused myself, sometimes I'm wrong, God help me
    C#m             A              E
And hear beneath my lie, what am I praying for?
  G#               A               E        G#
I don't believe in hell but I just might be there tonight
