Am C
Looking back across the years through a million unshed tears
Dm Am
How could I have held them all?
Am C
Oh the price that I have paid for all the love I never made
Dm Am
Someone wrote up on the wall:
C C/B Am
"How mighty is my pen...
C C/B Am
if this is everywhere it's been?"
Dm Am
Yes the wine's delicious, but I'm needing something stronger
Dm Am
I'm growing suspicious that I won't be here much longer
C C/B Am
Feels like I'm going down again.
C C/B Am
Feels like I've lost my only friend

Am C
Crawling home from some saloon and all my strings are out of tune
Dm Am
No one's around to break my fall
Am C
No attempt was ever made, so I slowly decayed
Dm Am
Have a little faith in me, that's all
C C/B Am C C/B Am
"How mighty am I then, if this is everywhere I've been
Dm Am
And as the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Dm Am
I will disintegrate until there's nothing left at all
C C/B Am C C/B Am
Feels like I'm going down again. Feels like I've lost my only friend
C C/B
G5
And I never thought I'd see the day
F5 D5 G5
My heroes all became psychotics
F5 D5 G5
My drugs are all expensive exotics
F5 D5 G5
My blood is thick with antibiotics
F5 D5 G5
So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right
F5 D5 G5
Take no blame so I can sleep so tight
F5 D5
You know that out of mind is also out of sight
C C/B Am (x2)
Dm Am
As the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Dm Am
I pass the closed apartment doors in rows along the hall
C C/B Am
Feels like I'm going down again.
C C/B Am
Feels like I've lost my only friend
