Intro: E 
 
Interlude 
E 
 
verse 1 
E 
Lately now when I'm surfing the channels 
Headlines'll terrify, more news to paralyze 
Lately now it's like some kind of panic 
All there at six o'clock, when will it ever stop? 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
E 
Murder and commentary, is this how it has to be? 
F 
Sick to the stomach now, TV's reality 
E 
Something inside of me is saying to look away 
F 
How do you look away? How do you look away? 
 
 
Am                         Fm 
Some day when we finally face the end 
                  Dm                        Am 
I hope that you live to see this poetic catastrophe 
              C                         E 
'Cause from here, it's never felt so wrong 
 
verse 2 
E 
Lately now, I'm like some kind of medic 
Upset and paranoid, out on my skin again 
Lately now it's like some kind of havoc 
I need some medicine, give me some medicine 
 
Pre-Chorus 
E 
Chaos and death I see, bodies lie in the street 
F 
Thirst to be televised, never apologize 
E 
Readers don't miss a beat, it sickens me while I eat 
F 
How do I look away? How do I look away? 
 
 
Am                         Fm 
Some day when we finally face the end 
                  Dm                        Am 
I hope that you live to see this poetic catastrophe 
              C                         E 
'Cause from here, it's never felt so wrong 
 
Post-Chorus 
It's never felt so wrong 
                      E 
It's never felt so wrong

Bridge 
G/B          Dsus2 
Witness a descent into madness 
The only escape is erase everything 
 
 
Am                         Fm 
Some day when we finally face the end 
                  Dm                        E7/G# 
I hope that you live to see this poetic catastrophe 
Am                             Fm 
Some day when you face your reality 
                  Dm                           Am 
I hope that the life we made was more than a fantasy 
              C                         E 
'Cause from here, it's never felt so wrong 
 
Outro 
It's never felt so wrong 
It's never felt so wrong 
It's never felt so wrong.
