verse 1 –

F Am Fmaj7
today i walked through the door and fell down on my floor
Am
got all of my papers out and read them
F Am Fmaj7
seems that i’ve been wanderin’ for a little too long
Am
yeah , the desert can be hot if you waste it
F Am Fmaj7
took a stab in the dark and missed again i believe
Am
the hardest part is not seein’ what i used to see
F Am Fmaj7
my fifth route to endeavor where it does all it can
Am
to whisper in both my ears make – believe stories

chorus 1 –

A# Gm

F Gm Am F
yeah i find myself against all the odds again

F Am Fmaj7 Am

verse 2 –

F Am Fmaj7
i like to think i’m strong and then i’m proven wrong
Am
grab the keys to my car and go to work again
F Am
yeah showed up late
Fmaj7
got screamed in my face
Am
turn around , i’m punched drunk

but i’m laughin’
F Am Fmaj7
got some thoughts in my chest , they’re playin’ games with my head
Am
ten hours of sleep , i’m in my bed again
F Am Fmaj7
scream up to my god , say “i do what i can”
Am
how Am i gonna move out from this circus dance?

chorus 2 –

A# Gm
where are my friends now?
F Gm Am F
they’re not around when i need them
