[Intro]
EUp on Scorpion AHill watching Elife Passing me by in the Apale mBoonlight EAnd I sat there forever, three Asheets to the wC#mind BIt's not helping my case, the state that I'm in ABut it's not how they Etold you AMy intentions were Egood AI was just bursting apart like the Eend of the ark C#mHolding on to whatever I F#mcould A
[Verse 1] E A E A C#m B A
EA square of light moves its Bway through the empty Aroom EAcross the stained yellow F#mcarpet ELike a ghost of myBself in the Aafternoon Haunting my Cbasement apartment BI looked in Cto the mirror C#mHanging behind my Adoor BThe glass was cracked and the Cman staring back C#mHe don't look like me Aanymore And if the Bworld is gonna burn EveryCone should get a turn to light it up
[Chorus] E B C#m A (x2) E B
C#mDown Aand Eout, BI've C#mbeen Aon the rocks E B C#mI've Abeen Ehaving some Apretty dark F#mthoughts Yeah, I like them a Blot Cm
[Verse 2] E A E A C#m B A
ETime and time Bagain, well I've tried and Afailed to get my act together EAnd I'll admit lately G#mthings really went off the Arails CI know that you deserve better BBut in the morning, Cas I was boarding C#mThe commuter train to Awork BThe boss was calling, he said, "CThere's been cutbacks and C#mI'm sorry you're the Afirst" BAnd If I can't support the two of us CmHow can I support a third?
[Chorus] E B
C#mDown Aand Eout, BI've C#mbeen Aon the rocks E B C#mI've Abeen Ehaving some Apretty dark F#mthoughts
[Bridge]
BAnd I'm on the brink EFalling deep into debt AFalling deep into drink F#mI can drown those regrets I don't have to Bthink ANow I'm working the night Eshift AAsleep at the Ewheel AI was bursting apart like a Eflame from a spark C#mThinkin' "F#mJesus, this can't be for real"
[Verse 3]
AMy sweat-soaked Emattress ACorner of the rEoom ACigarettes and Ematches C#mIn the fading aF#mfternoon AAnd a picture of my kid, yeah, he's smiling It's the first day of Eschool
[Outro] E B C#m A (x4)
F#mShe said, "I found the Bgun, it was buried Ebeneath Piles of Aclothes in the room where your son F#msleeps And I can't pBretend, to know how this will Eend"
