D# I've been meaning to ask you Gm How life looks from the nose bleed Cm A# seats And to ask how it feels F to bleed Your life is a waste D# And the way that I'll ask it Gm Will have revenge woven throughout Cm But will be masked with the concern A# that a friend would bring F You're so incomplete D# Hold a mirror to show just what you've become Gm And read your diary to figure out where things went wrong Cm I don't think I'll ever A# F understand How a cowardly cat can call himself a man Gm You're all show and F it's getting old Gm You're all show and F D/F# it's getting old Chorus: Gm F As for the rest of us D# We'll do fine with what D we have Making the best D/F# Gm of what is left And F you're a naysayer D# Who will never know what it's like D To really have D/F# half a life I've been meaning to harm you In the best way that I see fit I'm not sure if this did the trick But I think It did Hold a mirror to show just what you've become And read your eulogy to figure out where things went wrong I hope one day you understand that A girl on your arm won't make you a man You're all show and it's getting old You're all show and it's getting old Chorus Cm F Keep walking down your A# G# Gm shallow lonely road D# It's dark and cold and F it's yours and yours alone If you dig too deep are you scared you'll find something? Spoonfuls of shit will surely add up Inside you're begging for a cure for your disease Your life's a crime scene and it won't help to blame me Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  D  D#  F  F#  G#  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
