Chords

The song seems to be in an open tuning but this alternative version in standard tuning seems to work just as fine.

Making no deposit, no return

Making the same mistakes, we never learn

G                        Am
All of the pain in those faces

G                  Am
Trying not to show concern

Am        F/C
Spent and broken

Am                     G               C
Like a worn out subway door in the city

When you go by the laws, you pay the fine

I'm burning the candle at both ends

Twice the light in half the time

Am      F/C
Down to crawlin'

Am      G
Feel like I'm falling

              Am   G               F/C          C
Oh & yes, the rain doesn't have to hurry in the city;

Am    G            F
Falls sadly to the ground

But still you're running in a race that can't be won

       F/C              Fm                  [Riff 1]
Aiming hard to fill the spaces when they're gone

         G             Am                   
Worn out shoes with no laces

Getting too loose to stay on

Back to crawling
