G
Don't wanna know where you're going
                 Bm
when you aren't alone
            Em                   C
I'd rather stay naive, too much to believe
G
Blood falling out from your nose and
                  Bm
I'm wonderin', "How?"
      Em                          C
You glamorize your pain, wear it on display

        G                     Bm
And I know it's a cry for help, go help yourself
  Em                     C
I opened a million doors, you never go
      G                     Bm
It's past point of no return, when will we learn?
Em                          C
Alert me, when this shit is over

Chorus:
       G
Lying loud (Through it all)
         Bm
Cut your face (From the fall)
             Em
When you're hurt (Who'd you call?)
        C
I can't answer now
        G
Spend the rent (On a high)
          Bm
One way street (Suicide)
          Em
Clean it up (Watch you die)
                 C
It's yours to decide

Show me a picture you paint of someone else
Lived a double life, wish I was surprised
Eyes rollin' back to your head, and I'm wonderin',
"How?"
I recognize your face, put it all to waste

And I know it's a cry for help, go help yourself
I've opened a million doors, you never go
It's past point of no return, when will we learn?
Alert me when this shit is over

Chorus:
Lying loud (Through it all)
Cut your face (From the fall)
When you're hurt (Who'd you call?)
I can't answer now
Spent the rent (On a kite)
One-way street (To the sky)
Clean it up (Watch you die)
It's yours to decide

And I know it's a cry for help, go help yourself
I've opened a million doors, you never go
It's past point of no return, when will we learn?
Alert me, when this shit is over

Chorus:
Lying loud (Through it all)
Cut your face (From the fall)
When you're hurt (Who'd you call?)
I can't answer now
Spent the rent (On a kite)
One-way street (To the sky)
Clean it up (Watch you die)
It's yours to decide
