[Intro]
Am C F F
[Verse]
Am              C                 F 
  There's an echo pulling out the meaning... 
Am           C                F 
  Rescuing a nightmare from a dream! 
Am               C               F 
The voices in my head are always screaming 
Am                      C           F 
That none of this means anything to me
[Pre-Chorus]
           Am 
And it's a long way back from seventeen 
    C 
The whispers turn into a scream 
    F 
And I'm not coming home
[Chorus]
C 
  Save your breath, I'm nearly 
G                           Am 
  Bored to death and fading fast 
F 
  Life is too short to last long 
C 
  Back on earth I'm broken 
G                          Am 
  Lost and cold and fading fast 
F 
  Life is too short to last LONG!
[Verse]
Am                 C                F 
  There's a stranger staring at the ceiling 
Am           C            F 
  Rescuing a tiger from a tree 
Am                    C               F 
  The pictures in her head are always dreaming 
Am                   C             F 
  Each of them means everything to me
[Pre-Chorus]
           Am 
And it's a long way back from seventeen 
    C 
The whispers turn into a scream 
    F 
And I'm not coming home
[Chorus]
C 
  Save your breath, I'm nearly 
G                           Am 
  Bored to death and fading fast 
F 
  Life is too short to last long 
C 
  Back on earth I'm broken 
G                          Am 
  Lost and cold and fading fast 
F 
  Life is too short to last LONG!

C                                                    F 
 I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down 
           G                        C 
I said I'm sorry I'm a bit of a let down 
                                         F 
But all my friends are daring me to come over 
          G                 C 
So I come over and over and over 

So let me buy you a drink 
                           F 
And we'll pretend that you think 
                         G 
That I'm the man of your dreams 
                       C 
Come to life in a dive bar 
                               F 
And we'll go over and over and over... 
             G                 C 
And we'll go over and over and over... 
                               F 
And we'll go over and over and over... 
             G 
And we'll go over and over and over... 
[Chorus]
C 
  Save your breath, I'm nearly 
G                           Am 
  Bored to death and fading fast 
F 
  Life is too short to last long 
C 
  Back on earth I'm broken 
G                          Am 
  Lost and cold and fading fast 
F 
  Life is too short to last LONG!
