F#m F#m/F Bm E 'Cause theres a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense F#m F#m/F Bm E And in the middle of drinks, maybe the fifth or the sixth F#m F#m/F Bm I'm completely alone at a table of friends E E I feel nothing for them. I feel nothing, nothing Interlude: A, E, Bm, E A, E, Bm, E F#m, F#m/F, Bm, E A Well, I need a break from the city again A/C# I think I'll ship myself back west Bm E I got a friend there, she says, "hey, any time." A Unless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent A/C# she's under no obligation to indulge every whim Bm And I'm so ungrateful, I take, she gives and forgives E And I keep forgetting it F#m F#m/F Bm E And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe F#m F#m/F Bm E Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind F#m F#m/F Bm I said "I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine E E I have some where I die, I have some where we all die." Interlude: A, E, Bm, E A, E, Bm, E F#m, F#m/F, Bm, E Loud Part: Not sure on this part. Goes from F#m to G#m at the end of the loud part. A I'm thinking of quitting drinking again A/C# I know i said that a couple times Bm E And I'm always changing my mind, well, i guess i am A But theres this burn in my stomach and theres this pain in my side A/C# And when I kneel at the toilet Bm And the mornings clean light pours in through the window Sometimes I pray I don't die E I'm a goddamn hypocrite F#m F#m/F Bm E But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense F#m F#m/F Bm E There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live F#m F#m/F Bm And so I do what I do and at least I exist E What could mean more than this? E What would mean more? Mean more? Interlude: A, E, Bm, E A, E, Bm, E F#m, F#m/F, Bm Ending finger picking, play around on this chord: x20200 It's essentially A Bm. That's sort of it.
