(Intro/Verse 1)
Hey you, see me
Pictures, crazy
All the world I've seen before me
Passing by
I've got nothing
To gain, to lose
All the world I've seen before me
Passing by
(Chorus)
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
(Verse 2)
Hey you, ugly
Not so pretty
All the world I've seen before me
Passing by
Silent, my voice
I've got no choice
All the world I've seen before me
Passing by
(Chorus)
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
(Bridge)
ANYMORE!
I don't see
ANYMORE!
I don't hear
ANYMORE!
I don't stink
ANYMORE!
I don't feel
(Solo)
(Verse 3)
Hey you, see me
Pictures, crazy
All the world I've seen before me
Passing by
I've got nothing
To gain, to lose
All the world I've seen before me
Passing by
(Chorus)
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
You don't care 'bout how I feel
I don't feel it anymore
(Bridge/End)
ANYMORE!
I don't sleep
ANYMORE!
I don't eat
ANYMORE!
I don't live
ANYMORE!
I don't feel


Comments:
This song is what makes System of a Down a GOOD nu-metal or hard
rock band in this day and age. To actually have a good voice these
days is a rare thing, and to scream at the same time... that's
talent. :) Anyways, this song is pretty simple guitar wise but it
does have an awesome intro/verse riff. Enjoy! If you have any questions,
comments, love letters, death threats or anything of the sort, don't
hesitate to contact me using one of the methods listed above. :P
Thank you, drive through...
