Started with chords from another version on here but some of them felt like they were in the wrong places
and it only had the chords written down for the first verse, which made playing it kinda tricky (for me,
at least), as the metre is a little odd. There were also some flaws in the lyrics that I think
I've fixed here, so I wrote out a new version for myself and I figured I might as well share it.
Definitely listen to the song a few times to get the hang of the chord changes, they're deceptively tricky
to get right at first, but pretty simple (and fun to play) once you've got them all in your head straight.
[Verse]
Am
We talked about making it
E
I'm sorry that you never made it
C Dm
And it pains me to hear you have to say it
Am
You knew the game and played it
E
It kills me to know that you have been defeated
C Dm
I see the wires pulling while you're breathing
Am E
You knew you had a reason, it killed you like diseases
C Dm
I could hear it in your voice while you're speaking... You can't be treated.
Am E
Mr.-Know-It-All had his reign, and his fall
C Dm
At least that is what his brain is telling all
[Chorus]
Am E
If he said, help me kill the president
C Dm
I'd say he needs medicine,
Am E
Sick of screaming let us in
C Dm
The wires got the best of him,
Am
and all that he invested in,
E C Dm
goes Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (woah oh oh)
Am E C Dm
Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (woah oh oh)
[Verse]
Am
He told me, I should take it in
E
Listen to every word he’s speaking
C Dm
The wire’s getting older, I can hear the way they're creaking
Am
As they’re holding him
E
I could see it in his jaw
C Dm
That all he ever wanted was a job
Am E
He tells me to be raw, admits to every little flaw
C Dm
That never let him sit up on the top
Am E
Thinks that I should be a little cautious
C Dm
Well, I can tell the wires were pulled
[Chorus]
Am E
If he said, help me kill the president
C Dm
I'd say he needs medicine,
Am E
Sick of screaming let us in
C Dm
The wires got the best of him,
All that he invested in,
Am E C Dm
goes Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (woah oh oh)
Am E C Dm
Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (woah oh oh)
[Verse]
Am
I’m having troubles in believing
E
And I just started seeing
C Dm
Light at the beginning of the tunnel
Am
But he tells me that I'm dreaming
E
When he talks I hear his ghosts
C Dm
Every word they say to me
Am
I just pray
E C Dm
The wires aren’t coming (here to strangle me)
[Chorus]
Am E
If he said, help me kill the president
C Dm
I'd say he needs medicine,
Am E
Sick of screaming let us in
C Dm
The wires got the best of him,
All that he invested in,
Am E C Dm
goes Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (woah oh oh)
Am E C Dm
Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (woah oh oh)
Am E C Dm
Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (woah oh oh)
Am E C Dm
Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (woah oh oh)
