[Verse 1]
Cm Bb I was choking on a cornflake Gm Ab You said “Have some toast instead” Cm Bb I was sleeping maybe three hours Gm Ab You said “You should get to bed” Cm Bb I was waiting at the church door Gm Ab For the minister to show Cm Bb I was looking at the new year Gm Ab Gm Fm You said “Walk before you crawl”
[Verse 2]
Cm Bb I was feeling like a loser Gm Ab You said “Hey, you’ve still got me” Cm Bb I was feeling pretty lonely Gm Ab You said “You wanted to be free” Cm Bb I was looking for a good time Gm Ab You said “Let the good times start” Cm Bb With a quiver of your eyelid Gm Ab You took on someone else’s part
[Chorus]
Bb Eb But what about me Ab Bb Eb I don’t really see Ab Bb Eb How things will improve Ab Bb If all you want is to stay
[Verse 3]
Cm Bb Maybe I’m a little greedy Gm Ab You said “Think before you speak” Cm Bb Sometimes I’m a little seedy Gm Ab You said “Everyone is weak” Cm Bb Now I feel a little better Gm Ab Is there something I can do? Cm Bb But I never heard the answer Gm Ab I never had a clue
[Chorus]
Bb Eb But what about me Ab Bb Eb I don’t really see Ab Bb Eb How things will improve Ab Bb If all you want is to stay
[Bridge]
Fm The lights are out Gm In the house tonight Ab And I creep around Eb Bb And I’m creeping to your head Ab All you want is to stay loose

[Verse 4]
Cm Bb There’s a little echo calling Gm Ab Like a miner trapped inside Cm Bb If I tell her of this moment Gm Ab She will in me doubts confide Cm Bb And she’s on me like a blanket Gm Ab Like a stalk of wilting grass Cm Bb I’m not sure about her motives Gm Ab Gm Fm I’m not sure about her past
[Verse 5]
Cm Bb But my faith is like a bullet Gm Ab My belief is like a bolt Cm Bb The only thing that lets me sleep at night Gm Ab A little carriage of the soul Cm Bb If it starts a little bleaker Gm Ab Then the year may yet be gold Cm Bb Happiness is not for keeping Gm Ab Happiness is not my goal
[Chorus]
Bb Eb So what about me Ab Bb Eb I don’t really see Ab Bb Eb How things will improve Ab Bb Eb If all you want is to stay loose Ab Bb Eb But what about them Ab Bb Eb You play mother hen Ab Bb Eb To a gaggle of gangling youth Ab If all you want is to stay
[Bridge]
Fm The lights are out Gm In the house tonight Ab And I creep around Eb Bb And I’m creeping to your head Ab All you wanted to stay
[Verse 6]
Cm Gm I was living through the seconds Ab Eb My composure was a mess Fm Cm I was miles from tenderness Ab Gm Bb It was dark outside, the day it was broken in pieces Cm Gm Everything is flat and dreary Ab Eb I couldn’t care what’s in the news Fm Cm Television is the blues Ab Gm Bb Television is hysterical laughter of people
[Outro]
Ab Bb And I know it could be me Cm Bb Ab Gm I’m always asking for more, more, more, more Ab Eb I keep running round in circles Ab Eb I keep looking for a doorway Ab I’m going to need two lives Ab Gm Bb To follow the paths I’ve been taking
