INTRO

VERSE 1 
A5                 G5            D5
Somebody keep my balance
   A5              G5         D5
I think I'm falling off
A5         G5        D5       A5   G5    D5
Into a state of regression
A5           G5        D5
The expiration date
     A5          G5   D5
Rapidly coming up
A5                     D5             A5
It's leaving me behind to rank

CHORUS
D5
Always move forward
                                                     A5   G5  A5  A5  G5  A5
Going "straight" will get you nowhere
D5
There is no progress
                              E5
Evolution killed it all
                                      A5    G5  D5  A5  G5  D5
I found my place in nowhere

VERSE 2
A5            G5             D5
I'm taking one step sideways
A5           G5              D5
Leading with my crutch
A5                        G5  D5  A5  G5  D5
Got a fucked up equilibrium
A5                       G5      D5
Count down from 9 to 5
A5                   G5             D5
Hooray! We're gonna die!
A5   G5                     D5
Blessed into our extinction

CHORUS
D5
Always move forward
                                                   A5  G5  A5  A5  G5  A5
Going "straight" will get you nowhere
D5
There is no progress
                               E5
Evolution killed it all
                                      A5  G5  D5  A5  G5  D5
I found my place in nowhere

Going "straight" will get you nowhere
D5
There is no progress
                              E5
Evolution killed it all
                                      A5  G5  D5  A5  G5  D5
I found my place in nowhere

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
