Em                     D
Mmm, wide awake and he shakes in a panic

Em                   D
 Never woke up alone ever before

Em                     D
 Had his woman long as he can remember

Em                D
 Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't

Em                 D
 Out of bed and he dreams in the shower

Em                         D
 She's standing naked and apologizing

Em                         D
 Reaches for her 'till his mind becomes blood hot

Em              D
 Woken up to be burned, burned, again
[Chorus]
Em7 Emadd9 Gadd9 G  Gmaj7  G
                 Go it alone

Em7 Emadd9 Gadd9 G  Gmaj7  G
                 You got it, so it goes

Em7 Emadd9 Gadd9 G  Gmaj7  G
                 I wanna breathe and i said

        Em7 Emadd9 Gadd9
I can't take it any other way
[Verse 2]
Em                   D
 On the streets he's walkin', wounded

Em                     D
 Doesn't smile for the child at play

Em                       D
 Thoughts of suicide and alleviation

Em                   D
 Anything to get his heart off of the coals

Em                   D
 Does he fly away or just talk about it

Em                      D
 Like a seagull born to cry in the wind

Em               D
 All experiences lead to a young girl

Em                           D
 All alone you will meet the one who lies in wait
[Chorus]
Em7 Emadd9 Gadd9 G  Gmaj7  G
                 Go it alone

Em7 Emadd9 Gadd9 G  Gmaj7  G
                 You got it, so it goes

Em7 Emadd9 Gadd9 G  Gmaj7  G
                 Try to breathe, but you can't

          Em7 Emadd9 Gadd9
You can't take it any other way, yeah, yeah
