AI'm staring out into that vaccum again
A/C#From the back porch of my mind
BmThe only thing thats alive
I'm all thereE(7) is
AAnd I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw
My eyes have turned A/C#red as stoplights, you seem ready to walk
You know I'll Bmcall you eventually, when I wanna talk
'Til then you're E(7)invisible.
F#m F#m/F Bm E
'Cause theres a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense
F#m F#m/F Bm E
And in the middle of drinks, maybe the fifth or the sixth
F#m F#m/F Bm
I'm completely alone at a table of friends
EI feel nothing for them. I feel E(7)nothing, nothing
Interlude:
A, E, Bm, E
A, E, Bm, E
F#m, F#m/F, Bm, E
AWell, I need a break from the city again
I think I'll sA/C#hip myself back west
I got a Bmfriend there, she says, "hey, E(7)any time."
AUnless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent
she's under A/C#no obligation to indulge every whim
And I'm so uBmngrateful, I take, she gives and forgives
And I keep forgE(7)etting it
F#m F#m/F Bm E(7)
And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe
F#m F#m/F Bm E(7)
Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind
F#m F#m/F Bm
I said "I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine
EI have some where I die, I have E(7)some where we all die."
Interlude:
A, E, Bm, E
A, E, Bm, E
F#m, F#m/F, Bm, E
Loud Part: Not sure on this part.
Goes from F#m to G#m at the end of the loud part.
AI'm thinking of quitting drinking again
A/C#I know i said that a couple times
And I'm always cBmhanging my mind, well, i guess i E(7)am
But theres this Aburn in my stomach and theres this pain in my side
And when I A/C#kneel at the toilet
And the mornings clean light pours Bmin through the window
Sometimes I pray I don't die
I'm a goddamn E(7)hypocrite
F#m F#m/F Bm E(7)
But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense
F#m F#m/F Bm E(7)
There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live
F#m F#m/F Bm
And so I do what I do and at least I exist
What could Emean more than this'
What wouldE(7) mean more'
Mean more'
Interlude:
A, E, Bm, E
A, E, Bm, E
F#m, F#m/F, Bm
Ending finger picking, play around on this chord:
x20200 It's essentially A Bm.
That's sort of it.
