G
I've got memories
            Em
I keep them away from me
     G
They won't behave
                Em
Won't be what I want them to be

     G                    F   Em
I've seen it all and it's all done
     G                  F      Em
I've been with everyone and no one

        G
So many squandered moments
        Em
So much wasted time
        G
So busy chasing dreams
       Em
I left myself behind

     G                    F   Em
I've seen it all and it's all done
     G                  F      Em
I've been with everyone and no one

        F             Am  F
So this dying slowly
          G           F          Em
It seemed better than shooting myself
     F             Am  F
This dying slowly
          G           F          Em
It seemed better than shooting myself

      G
These worms, darling
                 Em
They're nibbling away at me
        G
They go at it when I'm sleeping
      Em
Won't let me get to my feet

     G                    F   Em
I've seen it all and it's all done
     G                  F      Em
I've been with everyone and no one

        F             Am  F
So this dying slowly
          G           F          Em
It seemed better than shooting myself
     F             Am  F
This dying slowly
          G           F
It seemed better than shooting -
           C                   Am
If I could find the words to explain this feeling
        G                C  G
I would shout them out
           C                  Am
If I could find out all this, what's inside me
        G             C  G
I would shout it out

        F             Am  F
So this dying slowly
          G           F          Em
It seemed better than shooting myself
     F             Am  F
This dying slowly
          G           F           Em
It seemed better than shouting it out

G  F  D  Em
G  F  D  Em F
G  F  Em

 G
I make some coffee
                 Em
Pull on that new pair of pants
      G
I can get so far [?]
    Em
The feeling just falls away

     G                    F   Em
I've seen it all and it's all done
     G                  F      Em
I've been with everyone and no one

         G
I'm just tired, baby
       Em
I just need to lay down
         G
I'm just tired, darling
       Em
I just need to lay down
         G
I'm just tired, baby
       Em
I just need to lay down
         G
I'm just tired, darling
       Em
I just need to lay down
         G
I'm just tired, darling
