       Dm            Am
In a garage beside a house
            F        Am
there is a luxury Sedan
             Dm             Am
And for his next monthly installment
            F             Am  Gm Dm Gm Dm Gm Dm
He's gonna go out with a bang!
 C              Gm             Gm Dm Gm Dm Gm Dm
Boy who always did what he was told
      Gm6
Was promised to be king when he was old

         Dm              Edim
Hit the brakes hit the glass
         A7    A7/C# A7    A7/C# Dm
Time to shake the   hands of    fate
       Dm           Edim
The mistakes of the past
  C      A#         Dm
Flashed before his face

There is a man, intensive care
When he awakes, he will declare
“I’ve been dead for 20 years!
I won’t let 20 more go by…”
Boy who always did what he was told
Bought the only dream that he was sold

Hit the brakes, hit the glass
Time to shake the hands of fate
The mistakes from the past
Flashed before his face

Chorus:
Gm                     Dm
  Burn the evidence of my existence
Gm                        Dm
  Clear the ashes on the ground
Gm                     Dm
  Burn the evidence of all these things
      C              A#
That pull my spirit down
Gm                     Dm
  Burn the evidence of my existence
Gm                        Dm
  Clear the ashes on the ground
Gm                     Dm
  Burn the evidence of all these things
      C              A#
That pull my spirit down

Dm
  Ever feel like you've been cheated
Em7/C
    Following what they believe?
       A#
Don't shake the hands of fate
       Am
Don't shake the hands of fate
Dm
   Ever feel like you've been cheated
Em7/C                 C
     Following what they believe?
       A#
Don't shake the hands of fate
        Am
There's no more time to waste!
