Intro: G, Em, C, D
Well I?ve been drinking
and wasting my time
keep trying to convince
my brain that I?m fine
but the fog
overcomes me
it plays with my mind
and I can?t figure out
if I?m doing it right?
Verse:
(D) G Em
Well I?ve been slackjawed, awestruck
C D
carryin? on
G Em
but I?ve been cornered, and broke down
C D
plenty before
C G
But I just can?t seem
C G
To find a dream
C G
nice enough to hold up
D
to that light
G Em
Well I?ve been half-dead, rotten
C D
and over my head
G Em
I?ve been sleepwalking, shit-talking
C D
Forgetting again
C G
But it?s hard to be
C G
So inbetween
C G?D
The truth and alibis
Prechorus:
Em C
Why?s it always have to be?
Em C
Half mangled and muddy dreams
Em C D
Tryin? to get things off my mind
Chorus:
G D
Staring at a blank page
C Em
drowning in the ashtray
Am C D
Trying to make the words come out right
G D
And if I can?t make it
C Em
I?ll do my best to fake it
Am C D
Trying to make a living out of dyin?
Em C
Ooooh, ooh-oh-oooh
Em C
Oh, Ooooh-oh-oooh
Em C
Oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
D
Oooooooooh
