Tuning:

I've seen a couple of close ones on this. Just a quick set of chords that you can use to play this on acoustic - sounds pretty good. D: --0232 D/F#: 20023- Bm: -24432 D2: --0230 E: 022100 A: -02220 G: 320003 Note that the D2 can be played at any point replacing a D chord, based on preference. I generally start finger-picking, and then switch to a pick midway through, before the Bridge. Intro:

^D I ^D/F#can't go ^Don De^D/F#flate the air from ^Gboth of my ^Dlungs

^D Fears one by o^Gne followed me h^Dome, and became ^Greality^Bm I'm a fa^Gilure, I'm a fr^Bmeak; I'm a c^Ghip on your shoulder, The l^Dast thing you n^Aeed. ^D I shudder, earth^G-quakes, at the t^Dhought of a l^Gife that's meaning^Bmless And with s^Guch a promising ^Bmpast, but you can a^Glways count on m^De To choke in the e^And.

Chorus:

^D I c^D/F#an't go o^Dn, deflate the air from bo^Gth of my lu^Dngs I'll be g^Bmone, l^Gong before da^Dylight shows its f^Aace...

V2 Honestly I'm taking big strides, in a race towards normalcy Where more is more and less is weak, where love is crap and Emotion speaks for us all What's really right? Who's who to say? I can survive alone again. I figured that out the hardest way; the forecast calls for fire, Flames sound nice today. Chorus I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs, I'll be gone, long before daylight shows its face. It's old and worn, and its mouth smiles no more, Well I'm worth my weight in potting soil, Maybe I've tried too hard to care. Bridge:

^D ^G I left a note on your ^Dbed ^A I don't recall what it s^Daid ^G Something like how I'm co^Empletely miserable And I^G'm better off d^Aead.

Outro:

^D I c^D/F#an't go o^Dn (I can't go o^D/F#n) Def^Glate the air from bo^Dth of my lu^Bmngs ^G ^D ^A

Bayside - I cant go on
