Intro: G#


F*                                
Never thought that I'd be the one 
                F*       D#  A#
to say I've had enough
F*                          
I've opened up my closet, the 
                         D#/F*    
skeletons are catching up,
D#/F*

A#                           Am  
I'm waiting for my chance to bail
            A             Dm
 but the goddamn ship set sail,
          Gm      Am        A#m   
I know without a doubt that I want
 Bm
 out,
    Cm                            
But there's not a chance in hell.
G#m



F
Time to admit it, a man's gotta 
limit,
                        Gm  G#m  
Going through the motions,
Am  A#m

A#m
I'm at the bottom, lost and 
forgotten,
F
Going through the motions,
    Gm
My mind's about to overload,
        A#m
It's a timebomb and it's set to 
blow,
 G#m
When we'll be,
Continues after the ad
F                   D#m    A#    
Going through the motions, go, 
  F*
go, go.


F*                                
Ten minutes later and finally I've
        F*    D#  A#
 got it up,
    F*                             
You know that something's wrong 
                          D#m/F*  
when you've begun to gather dust,
D#m/F*

   A#                          Am
So what's the point in aiming tall?
             A             Dm
When you're guaranteed to fall,
     Gm         Am          A#m   
My reflections cracked and looking
 Bm       Cm                  G#m
 back I'm so unrecognisable.


F
Time to admit it, a man's gotta 
limit,
                        Gm  G#m  
Going through the motions,
Am  A#m

A#m
I'm at the bottom, lost and 
forgotten,
F
Going through the motions,
    Gm
My mind's about to overload,
        A#m
It's a timebomb and it's set to 
blow,
 G#m
When we'll be,
F                   D#m    A#    
Going through the motions, go, 
  F*
go, go.


F*  D#  C  F F# G G# A  A#  C C#  D#


F*                 A#            
Going through the motions. (x 11)
    C
   yeah


(Pause)
Time to admit it, a man's gotta 
limit,

F     Gm  G#m  Am  A#m

   A#m
Oh I'm at the bottom, lost and 
forgotten,
F
Going through the motions,
    Gm
My mind's about to overload,
        A#m
It's a timebomb and it's set to 
blow,
 G#m
When we'll be,
F                   D#m
