[Intro]
G Bm C G Em C G Bm C G
[Verse 1]
G Bm C G
Runnin' out of steam now
Em C
I don't have the energy I once could have bragged of
G Bm C G
Runnin' out of friendships
Em C
It seems that the years bring a house so divided
G Bm C G
Runnin' out of contacts
Em C
Is this what they mean when they talk about lonely
G Bm C G
Runnin' out of answers
Em C
I've made my own bed but I don't understand it
[Chorus]
Em7 C
All I know is that things are movin' mighty fast
Em7 C
Don't mind the change but I can't go it alone
Em7 C D G
All I wanna know is that some days it's permissible to cry
[Instrumental]
G Bm C G Em C G Bm C G
[Verse 2]
G Bm C G
Wanted to be a tough guy
Em C
Never talked much 'bout what I was feelin' inside me
G Bm C G
I never let my guard down
Em C
Couldn't tell a friend from a casual acquaintance
G Bm C G
I played them all like chess men
Em C
The better the game the more moves I was using
G Bm C G
I talked a lot of nonsense
Em C
You get the most noise from the emptiest barrels
[Chorus]
Em7 C
All I know is that things are movin' mighty fast
Em7 C
Don't mind the change but I can't go it alone
Em7 C D G
All I wanna know is that some days it's permissible to cry
[Bridge]
G Em7
Sometimes I'm feelin' like I'm all wrong
Em7 G
The simple things are takin' too long
G Em7
Sometimes I'm feelin' like I'm all wrong
Em7 G
About to waste another day
G Em7
Sometimes I'm thinkin' like I'm all wrong
Em7 G
And I've been comin' over too strong
G C
And the things that I was sayin'
C G Bm C G Em C G Bm C G
Didn't matter anyway
[Verse 1]
G Bm C G
Runnin' out of steam now
Em C
I don't have the energy I once could have bragged of
