No Capo
[intro]
A C
Dear diary
G E
This battle’s on the verge of emergency
G E G
Call in a chemical warfare attack
G C E x2 C E G D
[verse 1]
E G A E
Tempting fate with the crisis that my vices will orchestrate
G D E
Cold sweats as my bold pupils dilate
C
I could die from the weight of it all
C G C
Or make it through another close call
[chorus]
C G D
Here’s a note to myself, “Back to the wall
E C
The higher you get, girl, the further you fall”
G D
Here’s a note to myself, “Alone in my pain
D#m E C E
How close can you come to the edge before you walk away?”
E G E G D
[verse 2]
E G A E
Through blackened veins the evil in the needle bleeds into my brain
G D E
And sells me on the sense of a fool’s escape
C
I could die from the weight of it all
C E C
Or make it through another close call
[chorus]
C G D
Here’s a note to myself, “Back to the wall
E C
The higher you get, girl, the further you fall”

Here’s a note to myself, “Alone in my pain
D#m E C E
How close can you come to the edge before you walk away?”
C E
Before you walk away
[bridge]
C E
But I just need one more taste, one more taste
C E
Scars earned from searching for solutions
G D C
So desperate just to feel
E D A
Sold on self-prescribed pollution, just distorting what was real
G C
And so it goes in the throes of what I can’t overcome
D#m
Painfully numb
