Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Push  it away
 Heart cold  in the land  of gray
Suck  it all in
 I'm watching  them cringe
Damn,  what a waste
 The boy's got  that prescription  taste
 He's dying  away
Look  at 'em fade
 There has  to be another  way
 The aftermath  is devastating
Writing,  leave me, medicating
 The hating,  the horror that haunts  my day
 If I  can get a chance to brush  off this  decay
 Who gives a f***,  gimme what I need,  another dose
And  I stop shaking  tonight
 Pull myself up off the floor
 Kneel down and exercise
 Prepare for what's in store
 And I stop shaking tonight
 Pull myself up off the floor
 Kneel down and exercise
 I'm resurrecting
Lock  it away
 Beneath the pain,  beneath  the insane
Take  it all in
 And I'll  take the blame
Pushing  the grace
 The cancer  radiates  in her face
 You ruined  my stay
 So I'll destroy  the faith
 There has  to be another  way
 I'm in  the rubble, contemplating
 The pills  that thrill
 Killing,  not aiding
 The hating,  the horror that haunts  my day
 If I  could get another chance
 I'd probably throw  it away
 Who gives a f***,  gimme what I need,  another dose
I'll  resurrect for  all to see
 And death to those  who've forsaken me
And  I stop shaking  tonight
 Pull myself up off the floor
 Kneel down and exercise
 Prepare for what's in store
 And I stop shaking tonight
 Pull myself up off the floor
 Kneel down and exercise
 -  -  -  x2
Dead  man walking,  baby
 I call 'em how I see  'em
Killin'  time, killin' pain,  baby
 But instead you're killin'  me
 -  -  -  -  x2
Back  away from the pain
 It's insane  and I will throw  away
 All the things  that sting
 So back  away, it's okay
 You're a stain  and now you'll rot  away
 It's sickening
 -  -  x3
And  I stop shaking  tonight
 Pull myself up off the floor
 Kneel down and exercise
 Prepare for what's in store
 And I stop shaking tonight
 Pull myself up off the floor
 Kneel down and exercise
And  I stop shaking  tonight
 Pull myself up off the floor
 Kneel down and exercise
 Prepare for what's in store
 And I stop shaking tonight
 Pull myself up off the floor
 Kneel down and exercise
