[Verse] 

E           A
Welcome to midnight 
C#m            A
Screams when I open my eyes 
E            A
Premeditated isolation 
        C#m        A
and it still bites 

E           A
Welcome to real life 
C#m                     A
Time doesn’t matter and you’re gonna die 
E                             A
Drip drop it goes through the holes in your skull 
       C#m
In the night time they grow 
       A
In the night time they grow 

[instrumental]

x2

[Verse]

(gradually crechendo from nearly full PM to half PM)
E           A
Leave if you’re sure 
        C#m                    A
When it comes to this you know better than you think 
          E            
And don’t tell me it’s fine 
      A
don’t tell me I’m wrong 
            C#m
Because the faker the hope, 
         A
the more painful the song 

[Chorus]

(Half PM)
E  
Get it in your thick skull
   A 
Of course it won’t be easy 
              C#m                        A                   E
It’s just the way it is deal with it I’m tired of whining 
                             A
These are just things that I hammer into my skin
       C#m 
in the night when the sky looks like my 
A
knuckles and my eyes
