This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

A

Come in-side boy they call this fun

Music to please the ad-olescence

Taking the easy way out a - again

Part of the process same old sto - ry

You just condone all that you mean

Daytime - doesn't last for - ever

Shouting about it taking the bait

Walking again in the same di - rection

Time moves on and then you notice

ground starts to tremble beneath your feet

Man killed man and blood was - shed

Gasps of re - lief for hu - man na -ture
