Intro: Bb Eb Gm F Verse 1: Bb I created those around me Eb Though, I don't know which is worse Gm F 'Cause playing god is funny 'til you have to choose who's dying first Bb Eb I became the thing I feared, taking their lives in my hand Gm F My innocence had consequences that I still don't understand Bb Eb I was told that I was vital in the plan to save my life Gm F So I promised mine in hopes I'd be the one holding the knife Bb Eb Our bodies were the vehicle, transporters of the soul Gm F I was young and bold and stupid in a six-foot self-dug hole Pre-Chorus: Eb Bb Was I the only one to question anything they said? F I take it back, I'll follow 'til I fly or 'til I'm dead Chorus: Eb Bb My immortal evolutionary traits are still intact F Gm I am unapologetic for the sympathy I lacked Eb Bb I left my body back in California 'cause I'm weak F Gm Overdosed on phenobarbital, It's part of my mystique Verse 2: Bb Eb So in '97, I gave up my future Gm I'd been raised to reject my human nature F In the hopes that I'd be praised Bb I thought SOS meant "save our souls" Eb Instead, it meant jack xxxx Gm F 'Cause nobody came to help me when I told myself I'd quit Bb Eb I trusted blindly, was it wrong for me to latch on tight? Gm F 'Cause I didn't realize nettles stung and apples weren't all white Bb Eb Ignorance is bliss or maybe ignorance is bait Gm F 'Cause I didn't deserve heaven, but I'm standing at its gate Pre-Chorus: Eb Bb Was I the only one to question anything they said? F I take it back, I'll follow 'til I fly or 'til I'm dead Chorus: Eb Bb My immortal evolutionary traits are still intact F Gm I am unapologetic for the empathy I lacked Eb Bb I left my body back in Cali, I'm not bothered to return F Gm The taste of apple sauce and vodka aren't my main concerns Interlude: Eb Bb F Gm -aren't my main concerns- Bridge: Eb Bb Giving up is easy when the default's to survive F Gm 'Cause a better life will only cost three quarters and a five Eb Bb I'll meet you in the promised paradise we often preach F D7 So I'd hope for liberation, but that isn't what we teach Chorus: Eb Bb My immortal evolutionary traits are still intact F Gm I am unapologetic for the empathy I lacked Eb Bb I left my body back in San Diego, Santa Fe F Gm They could tell me xxxxing nonsense with the knowledge I'd obey
