VERSE 1
       G5       F5
I'm on a mission
      G5               F5
I made my decision
      G5                      F5                G5  F5
To lead a path of self destruction
       G5          F5
A slow progression
 G5                        F5
Killing my complexion
               G5                F5   G5
And it's rotting out my teeth

CHORUS
Bb5          F5
I'm on a roll

No self control

I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
             G5                  F5
Don't know what I want
            G5                  F5
That's all that I've got
                G5                    F5          G5
And I'm picking scabs off my face

VERSE 2
G5        F5             G5                       F5
Every hour my blood is turning sour

And my pulse is beating out of time
   G5            F5
I found a treasure
 G5                         F5
Filled with sick pleasure
            G5              F5              G5    
And it sits on a thick white line

CHORUS

Don't know what I want
            G5                 F5
That's all that I've got
                G5                    F5         G5
And I'm picking scabs off my face

VERSE 3
       G5      F5
I'm on a mission
        G5             F5
I've got no decision
              G5                        F5      G5   F5
Like a cripple running the rat race
   G5       F5                G5           F5
Wish in one hand shit in the other
          G5                      F5             G5
And see which one gets filled first

That's all that I've got
                 G5                   F5          G5
And I'm picking scabs off my face

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
