Staind - Failing

– – staind – failing – –

this is my first time putting the chords on this site . i also have the electric version
on here , minus the lead . i’m almost 100% positive on the verses and chorus , but the
rest , not too sure .

tuning : standard ( yes , these chords can be played in standard . if you’ve already detuned
a half step , just put a capo on the first fret if you have one . or you can just
transpose them up a fret . )

intro :

D F#m D A

verse 1 :
D F#m D A
yeah , like the threat of the darkest clouds rolling in

on a sunny day .
D F#m E F#m
yeah , like a field that has no rain .
D F#m D A
yeah , like a dog that wanders aimless

with no name .
D F#m D F#m
yeah , like a cut without the pain .

pre – chorus :
D F#m E
( yeah ) you couldn’t feel this!
D F#m E
you couldn’t take the pain!
D F#m E
( yeah ) you couldn’t live this!

chorus ( words in parentheses implied but not sung ) :
D F#m E F#m D A
and i’m just trying to get through to you ,
E
but i Am failing .
F#m D A
( you ) lie like i’m not even here .
E
my heart is breaking .
F#m D A
( i’m ) trying to see through your stare .
E
it looks right through me .
F#m D A
( i ) smile and pretend i’m not there ,
E
to keep from going crazy .

interlude :

F#m E ( x2 )

verse 2 :
D F#m D
yeah , like the day that your guardian angel
A
decided to fly away .
D F#m E F#m
yeah , like a bruise that doesn’t fade .
D F#m D
yeah , like a memory that tortures your soul
A
until your dying day .
D F#m E F#m
yeah , like a life you couldn’t save .
