(note, the verses follw this sort of pattern, with the G,F always folowing to C or Am, so preserve the picking pattern in the verses.) Verse:
C G F The floor will have it's way it seems.
Am G F It fights me like a trampoline.
Am G F It won't let me on the ground,
C G F So this time I'm not coming down.
C G F No this time I'm not coming down.
C G F I've been talking in my sleep.
Am G F We once kissed goodnight, and here we speak.
Am G F You loved me just so brutaly,
C G F To have the bitter life wrung out of me. Chorus: (note: without pattern, play with chords)

Verse:
C G F The whole platoon is overfed,
Am G G And we're in this thing over our heads.
Am G F My mind has never been so clear,
Am G F But I stutter like an auctioneer.
C G F As the night has come alive with griefs,
Am G F The hew and hollar, spit and scream.
Am G F Every one of them is sick with lust,
C G F But every one of them will outlive us. (Chorus, as before)
C G F And if I really thought I could,
Am G F I'd give up your ghost for good,
Am G F But I'm not sure it isn't you...
C G F That keeps my ghost from leaving too.
C G F But I don't miss you half as much,
Am G F As who you made me think I was.
Am G F When I could see myself the way you do.
C G F And I could almost see myself in you.
C G F I could almost see myself in you. Final chorus:
G5 F C And this time I'm not coming down.
Am G5 F No this time I'm not coming down.
G5 F C This time I'm not coming down...
