of a house that is quiet

           F#7
except for unanswered telephones

    Bm
You stand near the sink

             G
while you're mixing a drink

              D
You think you don't want to pass out

  Calling over next door to see what they got

              D                              F#7
But you would settle for anything that would make your brain slow down or

Break this circle of thoughts you chase before they catch back up with you

         G                    D
And your parents noticed your thinning face

                    F#7
All the weight you lost

All the weight you're losing

You said "I'm done feeling like a skeleton, no more sleepwalking dead"

             D
You're gonna wake from this coma

             F#7
You're gonna crawl from this bed you've made

   Stop counting on that camera

    G
that hangs round your neck

                 D
Because it won't ever remember

        F#7
what you choose to forget

 You used to have such a longer list

But now it's so easy, it's so easy to

                            D
It's so easy, it's so easy to
second guess everything you do
       F#7
until all you want is to
[Chorus] (4/4)
G                D
Finish this half empty glass

           G               F#7
before the ice all melts away

     G               D
This feeling always used to pass

                      F#7
Seems like it's every day

                      F#7
Seems like it's every night now
