Verse 1:
E
  What the hell is your name
              B         A
And can you explain this
    E
mess It seems your playing
a game Where you only know
       B            A
how to take out the best
E
  Cause if assholes could fly
                    B
This place would be busier
A      E
than O'Hare There's proof
                   A
in the sky It's as thick
as our skulls yet it's
B               E  A E B
thinner than air
Verse 2:
E
  I have something to
say If the chip off
your shoulder should
B            A    E
fall to your chest Get
it off right away Cause
if you don't then it
            B
won't be in peace
         A   E
that you rest It's
just a matter of time
That we all go away to
  B      A         E
a better place I'm told
It all sounds well
                 A
and fine But without
you around I feel
B
nothing but cold
Chorus 1:
E     B
  And I now have nothing
E          A
  But your heartbeat in
   E          B
my head And a photograph
A                     E B A E B A
of my traveling friend
Verse 3:
E
  So What the hell is your name
              B         A
And can you explain this
    E
mess It seems your playing
a game Where you only know
       B            A
how to take out the best
E
  Cause if assholes could fly
                    B
This place would be busier
A      E
than O'Hare There's proof
                   A
in the sky It's as thick
as our skulls yet it's
B
thicker than air
Chorus 2:
E     B
  And I now have nothing
E          A
  But your heartbeat in
   E          B
my head And a photograph
A
of my traveling friend
E       B
  And I became nothing
E        A
  when I found out that
         E
you were dead When
B           A
I found out I'd
never see you again
Bridge:
C#m
   And all the time they
E/G# A
took talking in circles
C#m
   To get them off the
E/G#            A
hook would take miracle
       C#m
workers   We're nowhere
        E/G#
near prepared there's
A
no way of knowing
C#m
   Why don't they just
               A
admit they're scared
           B
Cause it's already showing
Chorus 3:
E     B
  And I now have nothing
E          A
  But your heartbeat in
   E          B
my head And a photograph
A
of my traveling friend
E       B
  And I became nothing
E        A
  when I found out that
         E
you were dead When
B           A
I found out I'd
                   E(hold)
never see you again
