VERSE 1
  D                          E5
Standing on the corner of
     G5                         D
Stuart and the Avenue
 D                         E5
Ripping up my transfer
               G5                   A5
And a photograph of you
D                          E5                          G5               D              
You're a blur of my dead past and rotting existance
D                               E5                       G5           A5
As I stand laughing on the corner of insignificance

CHORUS
           B5             G5
Well, destiny is dead
            B5                   G5
In the hands of bad luck
     D                               E5
Before it might have made some sense
        G5                           D     A5   
But now it's all fucked up

Seasons change as well as minds
       G5                           D
And I'm a two faced clown
D                                      E5
You're mommy's little nightmare
               G5                   A5
Driving daddy's car around
D                                 E5
I'm beat down and half brain dead
        G5                          D
The long lost king of fools
D              
I may be dumb
      E5                          G5                             A5
But I'm not stupid enough to stay with you

CHORUS
           B5              G5
Well, destiny is dead
            B5                   G5
In the hands of bad luck
     D                                E5
Before it might have made some sense
        G5                           D     A5
But now it's all fucked up

In the hands of bad luck
     D                                E5
Before it might have made some sense
        G5                           D     A5
But now it's all fucked up
                             D     A5
We're all fucked up
                              D     A5  D
You're all fucked up

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
