[Verse 1]
Fm7 Gm7
Yeah I'm not feeling to well
Fm7 Gm7
I should take my time like my mother taught me so well
Fm7 Gm7
But I'm grieving, cos I'm leaving a feeling so deep alone
Fm7 Gm7
And I'm sleeping as I walk the streets of where I call home
Fm7 Gm7
There's many times where I've been
Fm7 Gm7
Close, but no cigars there
Fm7 Gm7
I never loved to love, as much as you loved to cry
Fm7 Bb7
So why does it feel it's all I'm doing all the time
[Chorus]
Fm7 Gm7 Abmaj7 Gm7
Yeah it might be the way that I see it all
Fm7 Gm7 Abmaj7 Gm7
I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around
Fm7 Gm7 Abmaj7 Gm7
The vision was always wrong like the light that made us run
Abm7 Bb7
In California I can't afford to, make you mine, but baby I still make you cry

Fm7 Gm7
Yeah I hear you're doing pretty well
Fm7 Gm7
So I try and put you on the shelf
Fm7 Gm7
But I didn't get high to feel this strange
Fm7 Gm7
But I knew it had gone
Fm7 Gm7
Another cliché is how I've been
Fm7 Gm7
I'm glad that no one really cares
Fm7 Gm7
I never learnt to love as well as I could tell a lie

So now I'm wondering what I'm telling myself now
