 A quick note: The Bm in the chorus may be A's, you'll have to try it and let me know.
A  blackout in the room again.
A  busted lip and broken skin.
I  wake up in the bathroom
 And dare not bother asking
Why  the mirror's cracked and all I see
 Are shards of glass inside of me.
There's  voices there to dare me,
My  father's here to scare me.
My  mother sits beyond the door
 She's curled up crying on the floor,
Look  at what her son's done.
 When the weight of all the world's gone wrong.
 It's gone wrong  again.
 Gone so wrong.
 It's gone wrong  again.
Well  liars they leave a guilty trail.
 And let me tell you something people,
I've  been lying all these years.
That  must be why I'm standing in this space.
Disregarding  that I've created these monsters
 They sit at both  of my sides,
 So I wipe the blood from both of their eyes.
 From all four of their eyes.
And  while I wait for wounds to heal
 I see you by the window sill,
Your  heart's torn out
 A plastic spoon
 When honesty lit up that room
 So I stole  the pillowcase to clean
 This mess I've made of someone’s dream.
 Now you've seen  what I've done,
 When the weight of all the world's gone wrong.
 It's gone wrong  again
 Gone so wrong
 It’s gone all wrong  again.
 This room is old  and wise
 I fall onto the bed and wonder,
"How  did I get here?"
 The little boy who would argue with a tree
 Just go and thump his head!
 And he'll turn back to normal.
 Now why is that what I see?
 Don't bother trusting
 Don’t bother waiting
 Don’t bother changing  things that won't give into changing
 Just let me go away.
 I'm packed
Whenever
 I'm down
Whenever.
 Let's go.
 Yes, let's go.

A quick note: The Bm in the chorus may be A's, you'll have to try it and let me know.

[A]A blackout in the room again.
[Bm]A busted lip and broken skin.
[A]I wake up in the bathroom

And dare not bother asking
[Bm]Why the mirror's cracked and all I see

Are shards of glass inside of me.
[A]There's voices there to dare me,
[Bm]My father's here to scare me.

[A]My mother sits beyond the door

She's curled up crying on the floor,
[Bm]Look at what her son's done.

When the weight of all the world's gone w[A]rong.  [E]
It's gone wr[Bm]ong again.
Gone so wrong[A].         [E]
It's gone wr[Bm]ong again.

[A]Well liars they leave a guilty trail.

And let me tell you something people,
[Bm]I've been lying all these years.
[A]That must be why I'm standing in this space.            [Bm]

[A]Disregarding that I've created these monsters
They sit at [Bm]both of my sides,
So I wipe the blood from both of their eyes.        [A]
From all four of their e[Bm]yes.

[A]And while I wait for wounds to heal

I see you by the window sill,
[Bm]Your heart's torn out

A plastic spoon

When honesty lit up that room
So I sto[A]le the pillowcase to clean

This mess I've made of someone’s dream.
Now you've s[Bm]een what I've done,

When the weight of all the world's gone w[A]rong.     [E]
It's gone wr[Bm]ong again
Gone so wron[A]g           [E]
It’s gone all wr[Bm]ong again.

This room is o[A]ld and wise

I fall onto the bed and wonder,
[Bm]"How did I get here?"
The little boy who would argue with a t[A]ree

Just go and thump his head!

And he'll turn back to normal.[Bm]

Now why is that what I see?
Don't bother tru[A]sting
Don’t bother wai[E]ting
Don’t bother cha[Bm]nging things that won't give into changing
Just let me go a[A]way.  [E]

I'm packed
[Bm]Whenever

I'm down
[A]Whenever.

Let's go.

Yes, let's go.
