Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Well, It  doesn't really matter if  you lead or follow
Everybody's  laughing like  there's no tomorrow
And  even if there was, would  you still go following  your friends?
I  don't know where we  went wrong,
We're  still singing those  same sad songs
"It's  my life, not  your life, I'll  end it when I want"
And  now I'm off to save  the world once again
But  I don't know how I'll  pull it off this time
I  think I'm  going to drown
Now  he's off to save the  world once again
But  he don't know how he'll  pull it off this time
I  just know I'm  going to drown
 Horn Riff
And  it's the saddest song you'll  ever hear
The  most pain you will  ever feel
But  you grit your teeth because  it don't get better  than this (know this)
And  you'll try to explain  as the blood  leaves all your  veins
And  you can't think of anything  that you  would change
 Horn Riff
 Stop!
"Look  and you will see" is what I think  she said to me
I'm  not too sure because  it could have easily
Been  a million things but  I don't know what she said
I  still don't know what she said
It's  been years since I've  seen her face, 14  years were just  erased
If  my life was  your life, would  you ever take it back?
And  now I'm off to save  the world once again
But  I don't know how I'll  pull it off this time
I  think I'm  going to drown
Now  he's off to save the  world once again
But  he don't know how he'll  pull it off this time
I  just know I'm  going to drown
 Guitar Segway
Yeah,  you'll  try to explain  as the blood  leaves all your  veins
And  you can't think of anything  that you  would change
 Well, It  doesn't really matter if  you lead or follow
Everybody's  laughing like  there's no tomorrow
And  even if there was, would  you still go following  your friends?
I  don't know where we  went wrong,
We're  still singing those  same sad songs
"It's  my life, not  your life, I'll  end it when I want"
And  now I'm off to save  the world once again
But  I don't know how I'll  pull it off this time
I  think I'm  going to drown
Now  he's off to save the  world once again
But  he don't know how he'll  pull it off this time
I  just know I'm  going to drown
