Em             Bm
sitting around, no work today

C                 Em
try pacing to keep awake

Em            Bm
laying around, no school today

C                                             Em
just drink until the clock has circled all the way

Em
it is late afternoon

       G
as you walk through the rooms

     D
of a house that is quiet

           F#7
except for unanswered telephones

Em
you stand near the sink

    G
while you're mixing a drink

    D
you think you don't want to pass out

           F#7
where your roommates will find you again

Bm                                   G
stumble around the neighborhood with nothing to do

             D
you're always looking for something

F#7
to sniff, smoke, or swallow

Bm                      G
calling over next door to see what they got

           D
but you would settle for anything

F#7
that would make your brain slow down or stop

G                    D
break this circle of thoughts you chase

           G                   F#7
before they catch back up with you

         G                    D
and your parents noticed your thinning face,

                    Bm
all the weight you lost

                      F#7
all the weight you are losing

          Bm
you said, "i'm done feeling like a skeleton

        G
no more sleep walking dead"

                D
you're going to wake from this coma

                F#7
you're going to crawl from this bed you have made

Bm
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 as you

Bm
try to find some source of light

G
try to name one thing you like

D
used to have such a longer list

F#7
and light you never had to look for it

             Bm
but now it's so easy, it's so easy to

G
it's so easy, it's so easy to

D
second guess everything you do

      F#7
until all you want is, all you want is

    G               D
to finish this half empty glass

          G              F#7
before the ice all melts away

     G             D
this feeling always used to pass

                         Bm             F#7
but seems like it's every day and every night now
