          D     G D       C      Bm    Em Bm
I've been lying      on a bed of coals

          D     G D     C     Bm    Em Bm
I've been crying    out of control

  Em         A
I roll and I tumble

Every time I come down

I'm too old to die young

And too young to  die now

I've been bleeding,      it never fails

  Em         A
I feel every needle

And I can't play the part

I've been dying      all alone
