E A
when you were alive , i was never alone
E
somewhere in the world , there was something called home
E
and as long as you lived , i would be allright
A E
there were reasons to win , and incentives to fight
A * E
now i’m smoking again . i thought all that was through
Fm# * A * B *
and i don’t wanna live . but what else can i do

B *

E A
and i feel like i’ve faked all that i ever did
E
and i’ve grown a gray beard , but i cry like a kid
E A
i was seven when i sang you’d rosin the bow
E
there in aunt mary’s kitchen and i don’t guess i know
E A
that it’s why i’ve done this for all of this time
E
but now i’m playing and singing , seems a game or a crime
A * E
people have called to find out if i’m fine
Fm# * A * B *
i assure them i Am . but i’m not – it’s a lie

B *

E A
they say in the end , your good friends pull you through
E
but everyone knows , my best friend was you .
E A
hey , i’ve gotten some help . i guess i was afraid
E
you suppose something will happen when someone is paid
A
but i Am getting better once again i’ll be strong
E
after all , listen , i’m singing this song

A *
when you were alive i was never alone
B * A * E
somewhere in the world there was something called home

E A
now i feel like i’m homeless but i will be alright
E
i’ll get through the days . i’ll face – down the night .

you’re welcome!
