Verse
The top part is jakes and underneath is bb
For jake's part, use lots of palm muting as usual, and lots of variation (as usual)

  It's a terrible conversation
  And even worse of a thing to plan
  That's the world we know

  Without any variations
  When there's nothing to understand
  Or care to call your own

  When it's all said and done it's enough to go

Brief pause on E then

Repeat all from the beginning, with these lyrics

  When there's not any deal to bargain
  Or an arguments table set
  The lecture never comes

  It's the epitomy of frustration
  Cause it's a problem already met
  And you learn to bite your tongue

  When it's all said and done it's enough to go

Then this twice

  I hope your expectations
  Were lower than before
  I'll wish away the difference
  Who needs that anymore

And then this twice

Now a quick Em > G and then back to the verse.  Do it all again with these lyrics

  Another tragedy set in motion
  It's a train that you can't derail
  Weighs more than a ton

  So after scrambling from attention
  Know that you'll probably be revealed
  But now the option's gone

  When it's all said and done it's enough to go

  Without consideration
  Your standards slowly stall
  Like falling off a ladder
  Your time has come and gone

Skip the Em > G transition from the first time, and do this instead
Ending Jam pt.1

             Bm              A       A/G#      G                 F#      F
