Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Variations of G#m (continued into verse if desired)

Your game, your lovely game

Is like pain and suffering

Your fame, your newly found fame

Is like repeating history

Prechorus

You know that keeping me around

Makes me just quiver at the sound

Wish I could feed their open mouths

With something worth it

Chorus

Where is your backbone?

Cause you’re looking very flimsy

I'm breaking down your paper wall

Where is your backbone?

If you hear it sing it with me

Everybody take the fall

You look so sound asleep

I can't believe

That your backbone's missing

And you never had a clue at all

Believe, no I can't believe

How little all this means to me

You'll see, you'll just have to see

For yourself, the playback is deafening

Prechorus, Chorus

Inst: , , , 2x

You could've been something

You could've been something memorable

I should've said something

I should've said...

Inst: , , , ,

Where is your backbone?

Cause you’re looking very flimsy

I'm breaking down your paper wall

Where is your backbone?

If you hear it sing it with me

Everybody take the fall

You look so sound asleep

I can't believe

That your backbone's missing

And you never had a clue at all

You look so sound asleep

I can't believe

That your backbone's missing

And you never had a clue at all
