All I did was add the chords for the 3rd verse and 2nd chorus and included a few other minor changes from Don
Tago's version.
[Verse 1]
These Ghammers and striCngsEm Been Cfollowing me arounGd C Em
From a bGox filled garagCe To the Emdark punk rock Cclubs Of G1000 AmCerican townsEm
And my Gfriend calls me upC,
he says, "Emhow have you been?D" I say, "Gdear I've been welCl,
Yeah the Emmoney's comingD But I mGiss you like hellC.
I still Emhear you in thiDs old pGiano, oh yeah." C Em D
[Verse 2]
She says, "GAndy, I knCadd9ow that we donEm't talk as mDuch
But I stGill hear your gCadd9host in thesEme old punk rock cDlubs
Come on,G write me a soCadd9ng, give me sEmomething to trDust
Just pGromise you wCadd9on't let it beD, just the keys that youC touch."
[Chorus]
Give me something to belGieve in, a breath from the breathDing
So write it down, I Emdon't think that I'll close my eCyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreGaming, so what's the point in sleDeping?
It's just that at nEmight, I've got nowhere to hCide
So I write you a lullabGy C Em A lullabGy C Em
[Verse]
These Ghammers and striCngsEm Been Cfollowing me arounGd C Em

And my Gfriend calls me upC
With her hEmeart heavy sDtill She says, "AGndy, the docCtors
PrescrEmibed me the piDlls. But I knGow I'm not crazyC.
I jEmust lost my wDill. So wGhy am I, wChy am ID taking them stCill?"
[Chorus]
Give me something to belGieve in, a breath from the breathDing
So write it down, I Emdon't think that I'll close my eCyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreGaming, so what's the point in sleDeping?
It's just that at nEmight, I've got nowhere to hCide
