This song is what happens,
when everything is too much in the mind.
Song was made after talking to a Vietnam veteran.
Imixbibix gave a great tip:
Transpose +1 gives easier chords.

B -- I needed to start running away Abm -- We're no good, it's me I'm trying to save Ebm -- Treading water, we're just numbing the pain Dm -- Spinning round as we circle the drain B -- Pick the pieces up and turn it around Bb Abm B -- And I bring the hammer down.

[Verse 1]
Abm Ebm -- Somehow I couldn't say to you, the things to make it right Db Eb Ebm The words just came out wrong and then we'd end up in a fight B 'Cause I guess I fucked up, messed this luck up Bbm And I blame myself Ebm But man, I gotta let it go Eb Take a shot and let it roll B Then I can almost clear my head Ebm 'Til I'm alone laying in bed
Thinking:

[Verse 2]
Abm Ebm -- Between the cocaine and the lies
The truth and alibis
Db Eb Ebm Excuses don't mean anything when tears run down our eyes B All I do is remember, last September Bbm Sitting in your car Ebm And hearing "Man, I gotta goo-o-o" Db Ebm And I wish it wasn't soo-o-o B But we were circling the drain Ebm But we were circling the drain
Just can't change
Eb Get the hell away from me F Get the hell away from me Gb Get the hell away from me Abm Bm Get the hell away. [Interlude] Ebm e|---------| B|---------| G|-------1-| D|-1-4-3---| A|---------| E|---------| x4

B -- I needed to start running away Abm -- We're no good, it's me I'm trying to save Ebm -- Treading water, we're just numbing the pain Dm -- Spinning round as we circle the drain B -- Pick the pieces up and turn it around Bb Abm B -- And I bring the hammer...
