[Intro 1]
[D][Em][Esus4][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I used
to be such a burning example
[G]I used to be so original
[Em]I used to care,
I was being cared for
[G]Made sure I showed it to those that I love
[D]I used to sleep without a single stir
'Cause [C]I was about
my father's [Em]work

[Verse 2]
Well, take me [Em]out [D]tonight
[G]This ship of fools I'm on will sin[D]k
[Em]I'm my own stone around my n[D]eck[G]
Be my breath, there's nothing
[D]I wouldn[G]'t give

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G]

[Verse 3]
[Em]I used to pray like God was listening
[G]I used to make my parents proud
[Em]I was the glue that kept
my friends together
Now [G]they don't talk and we don't go out
I [D]used to [Dsus4]know the [D]name of
[G]every [D]person I'd kissed
Now [C]I've made this bed and I can't
fall asleep in it
[Em][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
[Em]Well, take me out to[D]night
[G]This ship of fools I'm on will sin[Em]k
I'm my own stone around [D]my [G]neck
Be my breath, there's nothing
[D]I wouldn't g[Em]ive

[Verse 5]
Well, throw me [Em]that lifeline
[D]Thi[G]s ship of fools I'm on will sink[Em]
I'm my own stone around [D]my neck
[G]Be my breath,
there's nothing [D]I wouldn't give

[Verse 6]
[A]Never hit[Am] their brak[Bsus4]es
There was [Bm]no t[C]ime to see
He just [D]ran [Dsus4]out in the street[Dm]
[F]Anybody know his nam[B]e?
I think I [Am]recognize him
He sure as hell [C]paid for [Dsus4]that mist[D]ake
[C][Am][Em]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Whoa[Em]
Whoa
[D]Who[Am]a[G]
Whoa

[Verse 8]
(I used to be such a burning ex[Em]ample) well,
take me out [D]tonight
[G](I used to be so original) this ship
of fools I'm on will sink
(I used to [Em]care, I was being cared for) I'm my
own stone around [D]my neck
[G](Made sure I showed it to) be
my breath
(Those that I love) there's
nothing [D]I wouldn't give

[Verse 9]
[Em](I used to pray like God was
listening) well, save my life [D]tonight
[G](I used to make my parents proud) this ship
of fools I'm on will [Em]sink
(I was the glue that kept [Esus4]my friend[Em]s
together) I'm my own stone around [D]my neck
[G](Now they don't talk) be
my breath
(And we don't go out) there's nothing [D]I
would[G]n't give
