[Intro]
Em  A  F#m  Bm  x2

[Verse 1]
           Em               A   
Up on his horse, up on his horse
           F#m             Bm 
Not gonna wake up here anymore
            Em                 A   
Listen one time, it's not the truth
                F#m            Bm
It's just the story I tell to you
         Em           A
Easy to say, easy to do
             F#m                   Bm
But it's not easy, well maybe for you
               Em                      A  
Hope that you find it, hope that it's good
               F#m                      Bm  
Hope that you read it, think that you should
                Em              A  
Cuts you some slack as he sits back
           F#m             Bm 
Sizes you up, plans his attack
(Spoken)
 Em     
Da-da-da
 Em              A
Drums please, Fab
              F#m           Bm
And I got it all, I got it all
            Em               A   
Waitin' for me down on the street
                       F#m                 Bm
But now you gotta do somethin' special for me
           Em               A  
I'm gonna say what's on my mind
               F#m                  Bm 
Then I'll walk out, then I'll feel fine
                    Em                 A  
Yeah, I'm under his thumb, I'm on his back
           F#m               Bm   
I will not show my teeth too quick
               Em                  A  
I needed you there, I needed you there
               F#m            Bm
But I didn't know, I didn't know

[Break]
Em   A  
Go alone
     D   Bm  
I'll go alone
      Em  A   
We'll go alone
     D   Bm  
I'll go alone

[Instrumental]
Em  A  F#m  Bm

[Verse 2]
               Em                A  
Back from his trip, he's at the door
              F#m                Bm 
When he gets back, he's on the phone
          Em            A   
Innocent eye, innocent heart
               F#m                Bm  
No, it's not wrong, but it's not right
          Em               A 
Innocent time, out on his own
           F#m                          Bm 
Not gonna do that, fuck, I'm out of control
            Em                    A 
I was just bored, playin' the guitar
                   F#m               Bm 
Learned all your tricks, wasn't too hard
                  Em                       A 
It's the last one now, I can promise you that
                         F#m            Bm  
I'm gonna find out the truth when I get back

[Break]
Em     A  
Aaah  Aaah
D     Bm  
Aaah  Aaah
Em     A  
Aaah  Aaah
D     Bm  
Aaah  Aaah

[Verse 3]
D                         
Gone now are the old times
   Em                          G      
Forgotten, time to hold on the railing
                       A             
The Rubik's Cube isn't solving for us
D                          
Old friends, long forgotten
     Em                       
They all wait at the bottom of
    G                      
The ocean now has swallowed
    A                 D         
The only thing that's left is us
              Em                         
So pardon the silence that you're hearing
   G                         A                 D   
Is turnin' into a deafening, painful, shameful roar
