– verse –
F A
if i had a dollar bill for every time i’ve been wrong
A# C
i’d be a self – made millionaire and you’d still be gone
F A
so hand me down my dress shoes and my best dress shirt
A# C
cause i’m going down in style to cover the hurt .

[ F Fm ] ( 2x )

F A
all i wanna do all day is spend it in bed
A# C
but that’s bad for the body and even worse for my head
F A
so i’ll try and find a place where no one will ask me a thing
A# C
it will help me to forget and help me to say

– chorus –
F D#
cause now i’m drunk again
A#
a means to my end
C# C
and i’m scared of myself
F D#
cause now it’s all the same ,
A#
the places and names
C# C
and i’m scared of myself again .

have you ever wanted to wake up from your dreaming
A# C
it scared you so bad you couldn’t you control your heart or your breathing .
F A
well walk out the door with me on the floor you don’t care how i’m feeling
A# C
i guess a weak and tired and frightened man is no longer appealing .
