Intro:
Am C G Em (x3)
[Am] [C]
Verse 1:
[G]The litebrite's now b[C]lack and whi[G]te
Cause you t[Am]ook apart a picture that[Em] wasn't right
[Bm]Pitch burning on a s[C]hining sheet
[Am]The only maker that you'd [C]want to meet
[Em]The dying man in a [C]living ro[G]om
Whose sh[Am]adow paces the [Em]floor
[Bm]He'll take you out any[C] open door
Chorus:
[Am]This is not my [C]life
It's just a f[G]ond farewell to a friend
[Am]It's not what I'm [C]like
It's just a f[G]ond farewell to a f[Em]riend
[Am]Who couldn't get things [C]right
A f[G]ond farewell to a f[Em]riend
[Am] [C]
Verse 2:
[G]He said really I just [C]wanna dan[G]ce
Good and [Am]evil matched perfect it's a[Em] great romance
[Bm]I can deal with some p[C]sychic pain
[Am]If it'll slow down my [C]higher brain
[Em]Veins full of disap[C]pearing i[G]nk
[Am]Vomiting in the k[Em]itchen sink
[Bm]Disconnecting from the [C]missing link
Chorus:
[Am]This is not my [C]life
It's just a f[G]ond farewell to a friend
[Am]It's not what I'm [C]like
It's just a f[G]ond farewell to a f[Em]riend
[Am]Who couldn't get things [C]right
A f[G]ond farewell to a f[Em]riend
[Am] [C]
Verse 3:
[G]I see you're [C]leaving m[G]e
[Am]And taking up with the[Em] enemy
[Bm]The cold comfort of the [C]in between
[Am]A little less than a [C]human being
[Em]A little less than a [C]happy hig[G]h
[Am]A little less than a[Em] suicide
[Bm]The only things that you [C]really tried
Chorus:
[Am]This is not my [C]life
It's just a f[G]ond farewell to a friend
[Am]It's not what I'm [C]like
It's just a f[G]ond farewell to a fr[Em]iend
[Am]Who couldn't get things[C] right
A f[G]ond farewell to a fr[Em]iend
[Am]This is not my [C]life
It's just a f[G]ond farewell to a f[Em]riend
