[Pre-Verse]
Bm G Bm G
Bm G Bm
G
                     Bm
Cutting or scratching

[Verse 1]
                  G
They scar the same
                 Bm
The angle is off,  the edges are soft
The mark remains
G                 Bm
 I know I'm bitter
                G
And full of rage
You would be too,
Bm
  what I've been through
               G
Knowledge is a difficult age
         Bm
So decide

[Chorus]
Tell me how I'm gonna die
'Cause I've already gone away
Decide
Tell me how you loved a lie
It wasn't really hard to see
Hard to see
Not long for this world!

[Pre-Verse]
Bm G Bm G                 Bm
         Carving or biting

[Verse 2]
                  G
We bleed for keeps
               Bm
Out of control,  into the cold
Hell repeats
G                 Bm
 God, I'm starving
                 G
Spreading me thin
Buying a story
Bm
  My soul was for sale
                 G
Trust is such an arrogant thing
         Bm
So decide

[Chorus]
Tell me how I'm gonna die
'Cause I've already gone away
Decide
Tell me how you loved a lie
It wasn't really hard to see
Hard to see
Not long for this world!

[Interlude]
Bm D Bm D
         Not long for this world!
Bm D Bm D

[Verse 3]
Bm
I know the shit you eat
There's nothing mellow in the
Drama you live and breathe
You like your secrets to be
Kept in the family
You don't get credit for your
Rare good behavior, go be a savior
C#5
   You don't seem to get what I'm saying
And I'm sick and tired of explaining
B5
Goodnight, goodbye, good luck
There's nothing worse than a
Ghoul manifesto,
I'm not impressed though
                       B5
The greatest conclusion

[Verse 4]
That I ever had
Was when I woke up
And said, "That's enough!"
Living never felt so bad
You don't accept it
And I don't care
Bury yourself
Above all your guilt
When you're ready it'll be there
         Bm
So decide

[Chorus]
Tell me how I'm gonna die
'Cause I've already gone away
Decide
Tell me how you loved a lie
It wasn't really hard to see
Hard to see
Not long for this world!

[Verse 4]
Bm D Bm D
         Not long for this world!
Bm D Bm D
         Not long for this world!

[Outro]
B5
  I was not long for this world
I was not long for this world
I was not long for this world!
I was not long for this world!
I was not long for this world!
I was not long for this world!
