D		    Bm        D
the litebrite's now black and white
Em                             Bm
you took apart a picture that wasn't right
F#                    G
pitch burning on a shining sheet
Em                        G
the only maker that you want to meet
D		Bm     D
dying man in a living room
Em                     Bm
whose shadow paces the floor
F#                   G
i'll take you out any open door
Em             G
this is not my life.

            D                  Bm
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
Em           G
not what i'm like
            D                  Bm
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
Em                 G
couldnt get things right
D                  Bm
a fond farewell to a friend


he said really i just wanna dance
good and evil matched perfect it's a great romance
i can deal with some psychic pain
if it will slow down my higher brain
veins full of disappearing ink
vomiting in the kitchen sink
disconnecting from the missing link
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
it's not what i'm like
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
a fond farewell to a friend

	
i see you're leaving me and taking up with the enemy
the cold comfort of the in between
a little less than a human being
a little less than a happy high
a little less than a suicide
the only things that you really tried
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
it's not what i'm like
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
a fond farewell to a friend
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
