[Intro]
C#m E A A
[Verse 1]
C#m E A
There's an echo pulling out the meaning...
C#m E A
Rescuing a nightmare from a dream!
C#m E A
The voices in my head are always screaming
C#m E A
That none of this means anything to me
[Pre Chorus]
C#m
And it's a long way back from seventeen
E
The whispers turn into a scream
A E
And I, I'm not coming home
[Chorus]
E
Save your breathe, I'm nearly
B C#m
Bored to death and fading fast
A
Life is too short to last long
E
Back on earth I'm broken
B C#m
Lost and cold and fading fast
A
Life is too short to last long
[Verse 2]
C#m E A
There's a stranger staring at the ceiling
C#m E A
Rescuing a tiger from a tree
C#m E A
The pictures in her head are always dreaming
C#m E A
Each of them means everything to me
[Pre Chorus]
C#m
And it's a long way back from seventeen
E
The whispers turn into a scream
A E
And I, I'm not coming home
[Chorus]
E
Save your breathe, I'm nearly
B C#m
Bored to death and fading fast
A
Life is too short to last long
E
Back on earth I'm broken
B C#m
Lost and cold and fading fast
A
Life is too short to last long
[Bridge]
E A
I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down
B E
I said I'm sorry I'm a bit of a let down
B A
But all my friends are daring me to come over
B
So I come over and over and over
E
So let me buy you a drink
A
And we'll pretend that you think
B
That I'm the man of your dreams
E
Come to life in a dive bar
A
And we'll go over and over and over...
B E
And we'll go over and over and over...
A
And we'll go over and over and over...
B E
And we'll go over and over and over...
[Chorus]
E
Save your breathe, I'm nearly
B C#m
Bored to death and fading fast
A
Life is too short to last long
E
Back on earth I'm broken
B C#m
Lost and cold and fading fast
A
Life is too short to last long
