 don´t  it look like  rain, mama
 don´t  it look  so cold outside
 all the people  seem scared  and tired
 and all the stars  seem alight
 there´s  no use in  the air, anymore mama
 there´s  no use in their  eyes
 i just come  to say it´s  over
 i just come  to say goodbye
 i won´t  compete with  the absent
 i won´t  compete for the  prize
 all them faces  are glowing,  mama
 you can´t  see what´s  inside
 there´s  no use for them  being anymore
 they got the calls  in their eyes
 it seems a waste  to be careless,  mama
 there´s no-one  here left  to fight
something  - give me something,  we´re  fallin  away
 through the minds  and the notions  we´ve  only  depraved
 it´s  a tired  imitation that  calls your  name
 it´s  a cursed  invitation that  haunts your  grave
 i just come  to say it´s  over
 i just come  to say goodbye
 i won´t  compete with  the absent
 i won´t  compete for the  prize
 Hope the chords fit for you. I'm not pretty sure about the lyrics.
 Thanks to BRMC to share that great song!
