Intro (palm mute): C ///////



C       Am     Dm        F
a brain that never stops ticking  
sometimes an on-off switch would sure come in handy  
a mind that's constantly cutting up and dissecting  
looking for answers committing murders along the way


Am                        F   
is it the red wire or the blue wire  

(arpeggiated picking)
C5             
just pick one and cut  

G/B
it just doesn't matter anymore  

(palm mute)
Am         F
or did it ever  

(arpeggiated picking)
C                             G/B                  C
cause I could never control when the bomb would explode  

           G
oh god I love you  

       Am
I mean forever  

                 F                   C
I left my body behind to break the news 

                 G
looks like it's over 


          Am                  F                           C
please remember all of the things I never got a chance to say  

                G                   Am 
like you look smashing in your fourth grade picture 

     F                       C
the one that we hung by the door

         G                    Am
in our house that was so beautiful  

F
  there in our little home


(palm mute)
C       Am     Dm        F (4x)
if this medication upsets your stomach  
take it with crackers bread or a small meal  
we understand it won't do much towards the cure  
but if you buy this I promise you're gonna like 
the way it makes you feel

Am                        F   
is it the red wire or the blue wire
