alternate way of playing mr . chainsaw acoustically

G D Em C

G C
when was it that you lost your youth or traded
G C
it for something more for them to use so jaded
Em
why is it that you never said
D
i love you more than just a friend
C
i pray this gridlock never ends
D
and when we get there just depends

G C
i found out recently that you are leaving
G C
for good i hope i softly tell my ceiling
Em
it’s better now to be alive
D
sleeping is my 9 to 5
C
i’m having nightmares all the time
D
of running out of words that rhyme

G D
everything that you could never say
Em
would never matter anyway
C G
i took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago
G D
before that steak knife took my eyes
Em
i looked up to the sky
D
for the last thing i would ever see
G
for the last time i’d cry

G D Em C

G C
when was it that you sold your life or wasted
G C
every bite of that small slice you never tasted
Em
i guess i should be one to talk
D
there’s nights that i can’t even walk
C
there’s days i couldn’t give a fxxk
D
and in between is where i’m stuck

G C
from blocks away i heard somebody screaming
G C
that small child inside of you that you left bleeding
Em
you stabbed him up not once but twice
D
cubicles will now suffice
C
some say it’s the roll of the dice
D
i think they’re wrong i know i’m right

G D
every breath that i could barely breathe
Em
could barely make it past my teeth
C G
i took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long long time ago
G D
every step that i could take
Em
each one more difficult to make
C G
mr . chainsaw came and took my legs a long , long time ago
