G                                 D
Hey again, I hope you know you've ruined my life.
    C                               G
The bitterest words are never quite sincere.
      Em                             G
But I gotta tell you one thing: it's all the same to me.
           D         C         Cm      G
It's in my blood and you don't feel the flow.

[ska chords (upstrokes)]

   G                                     D
I sat there, absorbing the ever-present real world,
                               C
wondering why people have to change all the time
     Cm                            G
and about those who shift with the trends.
         Em
Well, we both know I know better
                                    G
than to point the blame at somebody else but myself,
                               D
so I'll put these words on the shelf
     C                      G
with pictures of old friends.

[I skip the transitional chords below but don't forget to play them in every chorus!]

Em                                      A
I can sit and ask myself what I'm doing wrong
C       D7                  G
but I'm right this time and these are my convictions
                    C                  D
that you're tearing down. I won't give up, even though
     G                                              C
it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now.
          D          G
She's not with us anymore.

[Verse]

G                         D
I sat there feeling frustrated. The autumn sky was rapidly
C                                                        G
turning to dusk and I'm feeling so fucking alone in this world.
            Em
You won't believe me when I tell you, but everything that I respect
   G                                         D     C          Cm      G
is absent in you. So go shut me out and shut up as this scene rages on.

[Chorus]
[same transitions as before, but start with Em right away,
 and notice the different ending]

Em                                         A
I can't decide what to do with people like you.
C       D7                           G
I can't take it on the chin 'cause these are my convictions
                    C                  D
that you're tearing down. I won't give up even though
     G                                              C
it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now.
         D          Em              D              Em
He's not with us anymore. I'm not changing for the world.

[Chorus]
Em                                            A
I take this mental anguish, fist thrown at my head.
C           D
Because I'm right this time.
C         D
Yeah, I'm right this time.
C      D                G
I'm so right this time. These are my convictions
                    C                  D
that you're tearing down. I won't give up even though
     G                                              C
it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now.
         D           Em             D               G
She's not with us anymore. I'm not changing for the world.
                          B
I'm not changing for the world as we
C                                       G
go! go! go! go! go! fists first to the world.
     C
Your concrete morals mold life's prison cells and
     G                                                    F
with fashion as warden, you're prisoners in hell in your world.
                     G
Rot in hell in your world.
