Capo 5th fret, standard tuning.
C Things seem so opposite E7
More and more Am
Everyday G
C I'm asleep when I'm wide awakeE7
And the sun sAmhines
When it rainsG
C Feels like I'm lying when
I'm teE7lling the truth
And it hurAmts
How it painGs
When they ask howC I'm doing
And i just smileE7 in reply
I say &quAmot;Thanks
I'm okGay"
I'm just Cstumblin'
I'm just E7drunk again Am
It's not my fault anyway G
Just some soCng I wrote
Just some heE7art I broke Am
Another ball and chain G
C My father put down hiE7s guitar
And he spoke Am
His refraiGn
He said "C;You can write songs 'till you're blue in the faE7ce
But son nothiAmn's
Gonna changeG"
And I thiCnk of that now as I'm writing this dE7own
trying to catchAm
Your gazeG
With some pretty Cwords, wrapped in metaphors E7
Hoping I can leave yoAmu
On a pageG
Take what's kCilling me,
Light it with E7 kerosene, Am
Turn and walk away G
May each vCerse I write
Be my last cE7ompromise Am
To simply numb the pain G
Because you knCow as well as I doE7 Am
That these things Fwill fadeG C
**Guitar 1 Solo** C E7 Am G (2x)
C I know a woman who lives alone E7
In a hAmouse
Down the way G
Who wears a beautifuCl gown
And a thorE7ny crown
And hangs paintinAmgs without frames G
She waCters her plants
And feeds her shepard dE7og that's locked up Am
With no name G
And every now andC again
Something falls anE7d breaks
And darkAmness leads the way G
'Cause when her husbanCd died
There was no bliE7nding light Am
Just an empty grave G
Now her Challowed god
Is just a E7 calloused fraud Am
And no one's ever saved G
C Sometimes I hear her sing songs so true E7
They remind Amme
Of a plGace
That I'vCe never been
But her voicE7e captures me, and I'm forced Am
To retracGe
The steCps to her door
Where I hideE7 and listen, 'till her dog barks Am
From its cage G
And she straigChtens up,
Looks righE7t at me, and demands Am
In a wispy way G
She says C "Who are you?"
"What are you E7 going to do?" Am
"Come out and show your face" G
I said C "Ma'm I've tried
My en---tE7ire life Am
To try and answer that phrase G
But ifC you singE7 anotheAmr song,
I think we'd be F
GO-kaCy
(Let ring)
And shouCld we all die tomorrE7ow Am
At least we had F
