Verse

      C                        G
Well, It doesn't really matter if you lead or follow

Dm                      Fm
Everybody's laughing like there's no tomorrow 

C                      G                   Fm
And even if there was, would you still go following your friends?

C                  G
I don't know where we went wrong, 

Dm                     Fm
We're still singing those same sad songs

C               G              Fm
"It's my life, not your life, I'll end it when I want"

Pre-Chorus

C                    G
And now I'm off to save the world once again

Dm                      Fm
But I don't know how I'll pull it off this time

C          G             Fm
I think I'm going to drown

C                      G
Now he's off to save the world once again

Dm                     Fm
But he don't know how he'll pull it off this time

C            G             Fm
I just know I'm going to drown

C                          G
And it's the saddest song you'll ever hear

Dm                   Fm
The most pain you will ever feel

C                       G                          Fm
But you grit your teeth because it don't get better than this (know this)

C                  G              Dm              Fm                      
And you'll try to explain as the blood leaves all your veins

And you can't think of anything that you would change

Verse

Stop!

C                                 G
"Look and you will see" is what I think she said to me

Dm                     Fm
I'm not too sure because it could have easily 

C                       G
Been a million things but I don't know what she said

Fm
I still don't know what she said

C                       G                 Dm            Fm
It's been years since I've seen her face, 14 years were just erased

C           G              Fm
If my life was your life, would you ever take it back?

Pre-Chorus

C                    G
And now I'm off to save the world once again

Dm                      Fm
But I don't know how I'll pull it off this time

C          G             Fm
I think I'm going to drown

C                      G
Now he's off to save the world once again

Dm                     Fm
But he don't know how he'll pull it off this time

C            G             Fm
I just know I'm going to drown

Yeah, you'll try to explain as the blood leaves all your veins

C                      G               Fm
And you can't think of anything that you would change
