VERSE 1
A5
I'm taking all you down with me
F#5
Explosives duct taped to my spine
   G5                         E
Nothings gonna change my mind
             A5
I won't listen to anyone's last words
               F#5
There's nothing left for you to say
 G5                              E
Soon you'll be dead anyway

CHORUS
  D5                                 A5
No one here is getting out alive
                          B5                                                 G5
This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care
        D5
So close your eyes
                          A5
And kiss yourself goodbye
                     B5                                                                          G5
And think about the times you spent and what they've meant
                    A5       G5
To me it's nothing

A5  G5

VERSE 2

I'm losing all my happiness
         F#5
The happiness you pinned on me
G5                        E
Loneliness still comforts me
      A5
My anger dwells inside of me
       F#5
I'm taking it all out on you
G5                         E
And the shit you put me through

CHORUS

No one here is getting out alive

And kiss yourself goodbye
                     B5                                                                          G5
And think about the times you spent and what they've meant

To make one problem that adds up to nothing
                    A5*      G5
To me it's nothing
                    A5*      G5
To me it's nothing
                    A5*      G5
To me it's nothing

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
