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

Looking back with no regrets

Living for what hasn't happened yet

Roller coaster flies off the track

Hits you in the face, stabs you in the back

They take your right, leave nothing left

Steal you blind, your mind and leave you deaf

Riff 2 x2 (leave you deaf)

But I ain't seen nothing yet

Love 'em or leave 'em

No rhyme or reason

Break out to make out

No change in the season

Feel the vibration

The anticipation

Simple survival

No more denial

Love 'em or leave 'em
