Am C
Looking back across the years through a million unshed tears
Dm Am
How could I have held them all?
Am C
Oh the price that I have paid for all the love I never made
DmAm
Someone wrote up on the wall:
C C/B Am
"How mighty is my pen...
C C/B Am
if this is everywhere it's been?"
Dm Am
Yes the wine's delicious, but I'm needing something stronger
Dm Am
I'm growing suspicious that I won't be here much longer
CC/B Am
Feels like I'm going down again.
CC/B Am
Feels like I've lost my only friend

Am C
Crawling home from some saloon and all my strings are out of tune
Dm Am
No one's around to break my fall
Am C
No attempt was ever made, so I slowly decayed
Dm Am
Have a little faith in me, that's all
C C/B Am C C/B Am
"How mighty am I then, if this is everywhere I've been
Dm Am
And as the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Dm Am
I will disintegrate until there's nothing left at all
CC/B Am C C/BAm
Feels like I'm going down again. Feels like I've lost my only friend
C C/B
G5
And I never thought I'd see the day
F5D5G5
My heroes all became psychotics
F5D5G5
My drugs are all expensive exotics
F5D5G5
My blood is thick with antibiotics
F5 D5G5
So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right
F5 D5G5
Take no blame so I can sleep so tight
F5 D5
You know that out of mind is also out of sight
C C/B Am (x2)
DmAm
As the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Dm Am
I pass the closed apartment doors in rows along the hall
CC/B Am
Feels like I'm going down again.
CC/B Am
Feels like I've lost my only friend
