 C The leaves fell off as I did I guess it held some kind of meaning I've been Dm lying in this bed G of nails That let the wind out of my C sails She left me on the bridge she's burning Hell maybe Dm I deserve it I'm just trying to G find my purpose I hope that C it's all worth it There will come a time When you will face your life Don't let it Dm twist and tear F you up inside Chorus: C The world is a fucked up place but it Em depends on how you F Am see it Life is full G of change you grow F up and then you feel C it But smooth seas don't make good F sailors Jump ship and head for failure C Find yourself Am a tragedy Slowly Dm F lose your sanity I'll be alright Your bark was worse than your bite Left a scar that faded with time Echoed out to the back of my mind And there will come a time When you will face Chorus Dm And I've been walking F around in circles cursed every C corner of this town G Will I make it out? Dm And If I do then F it's a godsend I caught a bullet C in between my teeth Could this G Dm F finally be the end? There will come a time When you will face your life Don't let it twist and tear you up inside Chorus: The world's a fucked up place But it depends on how you see it Life is full of change You grow up and then you feel it Smooth seas don't make good sailors (I'll be alright) Jump ship and head for failure (Your bark was worse than your bite) Find yourself a tragedy Slowly lose your sanity Find yourself a tragedy Slowly lose your sanity You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
