D G
Well, I was born inside a fire on the coattails of desire
D A
I was orphaned in the flood, I was taken for a liar
D G E
My dreams came crashin' to the ground, I was defeated by the sound
D A D A G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
D A |D A |
They go down, they go down, they go down
D G
Well, I was denied and I was sold, I was kept out in the cold
D A
Well, there was never any doubt that I believed what I was told
D G E
But all the time that I was lookin' there was nothin' to be found
D A D A G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
D A |D A |
They go down, they go down, they go down
D G
Well, I never knew a single friend who didn't crumble in the end
D A
I made a bargain for control, I didn't break, I didn't bend
D G E
With every weapon that they found they tried to send me to the ground
D A D A G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
D A |D A |
They go down, they go down, they go down
D G
Well, I was invincible and weird, I was ignored and I was feared
D A
I stood all that I could stand until their faces disappeared
D G E
But I was only half alive, there was no one else around
D A D A G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
D A |D |
They go down, they go down, they go down
A Bm
I never cracked a smile, took my service all in town
A Bm
Even when I swam to glory I was sure to drown
D A Bm A
Break it off of my breakdown, break it off of my breakdown
D A Bm A
Break it off of my breakdown, break it off of my breakdown
G
Lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow

Lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow
G
Lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow
A B
Lookatmenow, lookatmenow

Well, I was incurable insane, I [??????] sick out in the rain

That only half the world was round

I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They are not
tabs, which notate precisely how a song was played on a recording.)
