[Verse] (bass, guitar effects)
G#5E5D#5
A decade ago, I never thought I would be.
D#5
A twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion woe is me
C#5 (&riff3) B5D5
But I guess that it comes with the territory.
D5
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity.
C#5 (&riff3) G#5E5
I need you to hear. I need you to see. That I have had all I can take
D#B5A5 / / / /
And exploding seems like a definite possi__bility__ to__ me__________
