The Airborne Toxic Event – The Fifth Day (Guitar)

C
And I was alone

F
On the fifth day since you've gone

            G                      C
This broken glass; this early morn

        F
I'm not sleeping anyway

             G
I watch the sun rise up

                              C
In the city where I was born

C
I could call you now

         F
Wouldn't matter what I'd say

G                          C
 Words just aren't enough

             F
I smell your perfume on the sheets

             G                                C
You always said, "Boy, you're not so tough"

C
And only now can I say,

           F
"No matter how I shake and shape

           G                      C
It's these things that make you a man"

               F
You think, "My God, my God, my God

      G           C
Where was it I began?"

C
"I wish you were," is what I'd say

       F
If you asked me in the light of day

          G                                C
But these nights are like a dream I can't shake

                 F
And there's your empty dress on the bed

  G                            C
I wish I could scream myself awake

C
But I won't go back to what I was

           F
And I know now that you are lost

           G                      C
It's your choices that make you a man

               F
You think, "My God, my God, my God

      G            C
Where was it I began?"
