A
I've got memories
            F#m
I keep them away from me
     A
They won't behave
                F#m
Won't be what I want them to be

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

        A
So many squandered moments
        F#m
So much wasted time
        A
So busy chasing dreams
       F#m
I left myself behind

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

        G             Bm  G
So this dying slowly
          A           G          F#m
It seemed better than shooting myself
     G             Bm  G
This dying slowly
          A           G          F#m
It seemed better than shooting myself

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

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

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

        G             Bm  G
So this dying slowly
          A           G          F#m
It seemed better than shooting myself
     G             Bm  G
This dying slowly
          A           G           F#m
It seemed better than shouting it out

A  G  E  F#m
A  G  E  F#m G
A  G  F#m

  A
I make some coffee
                 F#m
Pull on that new pair of pants
      A
I can get so far [?]
    F#m
The feeling just falls away

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

         A
I'm just tired, baby
       F#m
I just need to lay down
        A
I'm just tired, darling
       F#m
I just need to lay down
        A
I'm just tired, baby
       F#m
I just need to lay down
        A
I'm just tired, darling
       F#m
I just need to lay down
        A
I'm just tired, darling
