Intro riff:
Am7    Gadd9  |  Am7    Gadd9
Am7    Gadd9  |  Am7    Gadd9
 
Am7   Gadd9    Am7     Gadd9
Wish I was too dead to cry
   G5              Am7    Gadd9
My self-affliction fades
Am7       Gadd9    Am7   Gadd9
Stones to throw at my creator
G5            C5      G5
Masochists to which I cater
 
 
Am7               Gadd9
You don't need to bother;
Am7             E7
I don't need to be
Am7                Gadd9
I'll keep slipping farther
    F*
But once I hold on,
  G*                     Am7    Gadd9
I won't let go 'til it bleeds
 
Am7    Gadd9
 
Am7    Gadd9   Am7     Gadd9
Wish I was too dead to care
     G5                Am7    Gadd9
If indeed I cared at all
Am7   Gadd9 Am7      Gadd9
Never had a voice to protest
G5            C5      G5
So you fed me shit to digest
 
Am7
I wish I had a reason;
E7
my flaws are open season
F
For this, I gave up trying
G
One good turn deserves my dying
 
Am7               Gadd9
You don't need to bother;
Am7             E7
I don't need to be
Am7                Gadd9
I'll keep slipping farther
    F*
But once I hold on,
  G*                     Am7    Gadd9
I won't let go 'til it bleeds
 
[Solo: Corey]
 
Am7      Gadd9  Am7      Gadd9
Wish I'd died instead of lived
  G5               Am7    Gadd9
A zombie hides my face
Am7      Gadd9
Shell forgotten
Am7      Gadd9
With its memories
G5
Diaries left
     C5      G5
With cryptic entries
 
    Am7               Gadd9
And you don't need to bother;
Am7             E7
I don't need to be
Am7                Gadd9
I'll keep slipping farther
F*
But once I hold on,
  G*
I won't let go 'til it bleeds
 
 
Am7               Gadd9
You don't need to bother;
Am7             E7
I don't need to be
Am7                Gadd9
I'll keep slipping farther
F*
But once I hold on,
     G*                     Am7
I'll never live down my deceit
 
 
 
So yeah, that's how I play it at least. Hope it sounds to you as right as it sounds to me.
