– 8 – – 10 – 6 – – 13
– 8 – – 10 – 6 – – 13
– 7 – – 8 – – 5 – – 12
– 6 – – 8 – – 4 – – 11

it can be easier to play this with a capo at fist fret
if you wish so just transpose this “one half step down” using the tool above^

when i get in to the bottom of it i sink
A# Cm G#
seems like nothing i said ever meant anything
D# A# Cm G#
but a headline over my head , thought i made a stand
A# Cm G#
only made a scene there’s no feast for the underfed
D# A# Cm G#
all the unknown , dying or dead keep showing up in my dreams
D# A# Cm G#
they stand at the end of my bed; have i ever really helped
D# A#
anybody but myself
Cm G#
to believe in the power of songs ,
D# A#
to believe in the power of girls
Cm G#
though the point we’re making is gone
D# A#
play it stripped down to my bone

Cm G#
i’ll shut up and carry on
D# A#
scream becomes a yawn

scream becomes a yawn
