D
What will they write about me
A G D/G A

The poem's lost or am I just wandering on
G D A
I'm just wandering on
[CHORUS 1]
G Em
There could be fewer days ahead than gone

Tattered pages and the ink stained pockets of your jeans

Yeah I'm dancing on my own grave

And all I've been
G
I'm long since on my way
Em Bm A
To learning nothing comes for free
G Em
I had a lot of time to waste
Bm A
I wrote the lines upon my face
G Em Bm A
Chasing down the shots they bought for me
G D/F#
But I'm not the man

I used to be my net worth

I used to be one public drunken moment
Bm A
I used to be high paid and low rent

I used to be a man on a mission

My best chart position

The man in the mirror

Your brother, your killer

A new day, a new town

Your racehorse, your cash cow
A
Till I let you all down
