F#m         C#m
He wakes up early today
A            E             G#
Throws on a mask that will alter his face
F#m    C#m
Nobody knows his real name
     A          E            G#
But now he just uses one he saw on a grave

F#m   C#m               A
He pretends that he's okay
     E          G# F#m
But you should see
        C#m         A           E    G#
Him in bed late at night, he's petrified
 A       G#                              A
Take me out, and finish this waste of a life

Chorus:
          E                    B
Everyone gather around for a show
              C#m                    A
Watch as this man disappears as we know
         E               B
Do me a favor and try to ignore
                  B                         F#m C#m A E G#
As you watch him fall through a blatant trapdoor

He thinks that faith might be dead
Nothing kills a man faster than his own head
He used to see dreams at night
But now he's just watching the backs of his eyes

And he pretends he's okay,
but you should see
Him in bed late at night,
he's petrified

Chorus

 A      G#                               A
Take me out, and finish this waste of a life

Chorus
