Intro:
E5 B5
sitting around, no work today
C5 E5
try pacing to keep awake
E5 B5
laying around, no school today
C5 E5
just drink until the clock has circled all the way
Pre Verse:
E5
it is late afternoon
G5
as you walk through the rooms
D5
of a house that is quiet
F#5
except for unanswered telephones
E5
you stand near the sink
G5
while you're mixing a drink
D5
you think you don't want to pass out
F#5
where your roommates will find you again
Verse:
B5 G5
stumble around the neighborhood with nothing to do
D5
you're always looking for something
F#5
to sniff, smoke, or swallow
B5 G5
calling over next door to see what they got
D5
but you would settle for anything
F#5
that would make your brain slow down or stop
Chorus:
G5 D5
break this circle of thoughts you chase
G5 F#5
before they catch back up with you
G5 D5
and your parents noticed your thinning face,
B5
all the weight you lost
F#5
all the weight you are losing
Verse:
B5
you said, "i'm done feeling like a skeleton
G5
no more sleep walking dead"
D5
you're going to wake from this coma
F#5
you're going to crawl from this bed you have made
B5
stop counting on that camera
G5
that hangs round your neck
D5
because it won't ever remember
F#5
what you choose to forget as you
B5
try to find some source of light
G5
try to name one thing you like
D5
used to have such a longer list
F#5
and light you never had to look for it
B5
but now it's so easy, it's so easy to
G5
it's so easy, it's so easy to
D5
second guess everything you do
F#5
until all you want is, all you want is
Chorus:
G5 D5
to finish this half empty glass
G5 F#5
before the ice all melts away
G5 D5
this feeling always used to pass
B5 F#5
but seems like it's every day and every night now
