C# C#/C
Sitting around, no work today
Bm F#m
Try pacing to keep awake
C# C#/C
Laying around, no school today
Bm F#m
Just drink until the clock has circled all the way

VERSE 1: 4/4 time.

Bm
It is late afternoon
G
as you walk through the rooms
D
of a house that is quiet
F#
except for unanswered telephones

Bm
You stand near the sink
G
while you're mixing a drink
D
You think you don't want to pass out
F#
where your roommates will find you again

BRIDGE: 3/4 time.

Bm G
Stumble around the neighborhood with nothing to do
D F#
You're always looking for something to sniff, smoke or swallow
Bm G
Calling over next door to see what they got
D F#
But you would settle for anything that would make your brain slow down or

CHORUS: 4/4 time.

G D G F#
Break this circle of thoughts you chase before they catch back up with you
G D

F#
All the weight you lost

Bm G
You said "I'm done feeling like a skeleton, no more sleep walking dead"
D
You're going to wake from this coma
F#
You're going to crawl from this bed you have made
Bm
And stop counting on that camera
G
that hangs round your neck
D
Because it won't ever remember
F#
what you choose to forget

Bm
As you try to find some source of light
G
Try to name one thing you like
D
You used to have such a longer list
F#
And light you never had to look for it

Bm
But now it's so easy, it's so easy to
G
But now it's so easy, it's so easy to
D
second guess everything you do
F#
until all you want is to

CHORUS: 4/4 time/

G D
Finish this half empty glass
G F#
before the ice all melts away
G D
This feeling always used to pass
F#
Seems like it's every day
F#7
Seems like it's every night now
