G      A          Bm
In my perfect isolation
G       A               Bm
I can stay here for a while
G    A             Bm
Antidotes and revelations
G       A            D   A
Just extend my own exile

Chorus:
 D                 A                 G
Wasting away, the world's right in front of me
 D                              A          D
Funny, you should say that it's all in my head
                     A            G
Wasting away, we're hitting rock bottom
     D                                A        D
And going down in flames, well, it's not that bad

With my lack of observation
I can stay in here for days
Could you find my motivation?
I can't see it through this haze

Chorus:
Wasting away, the world's right in front of me
Funny, you should say that it's all in my head
Wasting away, we're hitting rock bottom
And going down in flames, well, it's not that bad
Wishing away, the world's right in front of me
Call me anyway, ’cause it's all in my head
Wasting away, we're hitting rock bottom
And going down in flames, well, it's not that bad

 D
Wasting all my days
  A
What would Ivan say?
 G
Wasting all my days
  A
What would Ivan say?

 D
Wasting away, we're hitting rock bottom
     A
And call me anyway, ’cause I got two friends
 G
Wasting away, we're going down together
    Em               G      A G A Bm
And all in all it's not so bad
G                A         Bm
All in all it's not so bad

G              A
It's hard to know
  G                  A
Where to start and where to go
G             A                D  A
I will never say these words again

Chorus

 D          A G
Wasting away
 D            A D
Call me anyway
            A G
Wasting away
 D                                A        D
Going down in flames, well, it's not that bad - x2
