B                            F#
I haven't been home for a while
                           G#m
I'm sure everything's the same
                       E
Mom and Dad both in denial
                             B
And only child to take the blame
                         F#
Sorry, Mom, but I don't miss you
                        G#m
Father's no name you deserve
                          E
I'm just a kid with no ambitions
                            G#m
Wouldn't come home for the world
                        E
Never know what I've become
                                 B
The king of all that's said and done
               F#
The forgotten son

G#m                      E
This city's buried in defeat
                              B
I walk along these no name streets
                F#
Wave goodbye to all
       G#m F# E
As I fall

B                     F#
 At the dead-end I begin
                           G#m
To burn the bridge of innocence
                    E
Satisfaction guaranteed
                       B
A pillow-weight catastrophe
                      F#
On a mission nowhere bound
                   G#m
Inhibitions underground
A shallow grave I
      E
Have dug all by myself

          E
And now I've been
          B   F#
gone for so long
   E
I can't remember
  B       F#
who was wrong
    E
All innocence is
 B    F#
long gone
    E
I pledge allegiance to a
 B   F#
world of disbelief
           B
Where I belong

Chorus:
        F#       G#m
A walking disaster
         E            B
The son of all bastards
         F#          G#m
You regret you made me
           E
It's too late to save me

B
(You regret you made me
It's too late to save me)

And he said, "Far as I can tell,
it's just voices in my head
Am I talking to myself 'cause
I don't know what I just said?"
And she said, "Far is where I fell,
maybe I'm better off dead
Am I at the end of nowhere,
is this as good as it gets?"

And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong
All innocence is long gone
I pledge allegiance to a world of
disbelief where I belong

Chorus

G#m
 (To save me)
F#
 (to save me)
E
 (to save me)

B
 (To save me)
F#
 (to save me)
E
 (to save me) - x4


B
(To save me)
B
 (To save me)
F#
 (to save me)
G#m
 (to save me)

And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong
All innocence is long gone
I pledge allegiance to a world of
disbelief where I belong

Chorus

I will be home in a while,
you don't have to say a word
I can't wait to see you smile,
wouldn't miss it for the world
I will be home in a while,
you don't have to say a word
I can't wait to see you smile,
 wouldn't miss it for the world
