Intro:(A A5 E  D D9 A(2x) 

Verse(only acoustic guitar): 

A A5 E        D  D9   A 
Road narrows, pouring down 
A A5 E         D    D9 A 
I'm breaking without a sound 
A    A5  E         D D9 A 
Bits and pieces of trying 
A   A5       E      D D9 A 
Get what you pay for, nothing 

Now the whole band enters the music with this simple Solo: 
Rhythm Guitar:(A A5 E D D9 A)2x

A A5   E           D D9  A 
Frozen dreaming of yesterday 
A   A5  E            D D9 A 
Potent, creeping I'm far away 
A   A5      E      D D9 A 
From my hometown I lit out 
A  A5      E        D  D9     A 
To save my skin and shed some doubt 

Now comes the pro-Chorus with a rhythmic arpeggio guitar William DuVall: 
 Pro-Chorus: 
F          D 
I know how false the floor 
F            D 
How high the sky 
F              D 
Been down that road before

Chorus:

Like a shining scalpel, cut yourself

A A5    E         D D9    A
