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

lyrics:

is this what you expected?

flat and empty, how i feel?

the brain is emptied out and clean

clean is not a state that's real

so take what you are given

just forget what you deserve

people think you're out there living

but you fell from the curve

chorus

give me a name

right now i'm just a cycle

waiting to end

right now i feel recycled

and i'm ready to leave again

some tree in bloom like crazy hair

some man in feathers flying

i want to stay i don't i'm lying

getting used to it's what i feel

so much to answer for

we have so much to answer for

so sick of talking about it

falling asleep on the floor

chorus

and i'm ready to leave again

there are defenitely mistakes in it, especially in the riff areas. pls tidy

it up.. :)
