D             G
You would say anything
And you would try anything
To escape your meaningless
And your insignificance

F#           Bm   Bm/A
You're uncontroll able
Bm/G#      G7  F#7
And we are un love  able
F#               Bm
And I don't want you to think
Bm/A       Bm/G#
That I care
        G7             F#7
I never would I never could again

Chorus:
Bm                  G
Why can't you just love her?
And why be such a monster?
You burning from a distance
Your brain needs some assistance

D                   G
But I'll still take all the blame
D/F#                       G
'Cause you and me are both one and the same
And it's driving me mad
And it's driving me mad

I'll take back all the
things that I said
I didn't realize
I was talking to the living dead
And I don't
want you to think that I care
I never would, I never could again

You would say anything
And you would try anything
To escape your meaningless
And your insignificance
