[Intro] (3/4 time)
 
F#m/C#    F#m/C    F#m/B    F#m
 
F#m/C#               F#m/C
   Sitting around, no work today
    F#m/B            F#m
Try pacing to keep awake
F#m/C#              F#m/C
   Laying 'round, no school today
     F#m/B                                     F#m
Just drink until the clock has circled all the way

[Verse 1] (3/4)
 
      Bm
It is late afternoon
       G
as you walk through the rooms
     D
of a house that is quiet
           F#7
except for unanswered telephones
 
    Bm
You stand near the sink
             G
while you're mixing a drink
              D
You think you don't want to pass out
           F#7
where your roommates will find you again
 
 
[Bridge] (3/4)
 
Bm                              G
  Stumble around the neighborhood with nothing to do
              D                        F#7
You're always looking for something to sniff, smoke or swallow
Bm                      G
  Calling over next door to see what they got
              D                              F#7
But you would settle for anything that would make your brain slow down or
 
 
[Chorus] (4/4)
 
G                    D                              G                   F#7
Break this circle of thoughts you chase before they catch back up with you
         G                    D
And your parents noticed your thinning face
                    F#7
All the weight you lost
                       F#7
All the weight you're losing
 
 
[Verse 2] (4/4)
 
             Bm                                    G
You said "I'm done feeling like a skeleton, no more sleepwalking dead"
             D
You're gonna wake from this coma
             F#7
You're gonna crawl from this bed you've made
 
Bm
   Stop counting on that camera
    G
that hangs round your neck
                 D
Because it won't ever remember
        F#7
what you choose to forget
 
      Bm
As you try to find some source of light
G
 Try to name one thing you like
D
 You used to have such a longer list
F#7
   Light you never had to look for it
 
            Bm                      G
But now it's so easy, it's so easy to
                            D
It's so easy, it's so easy to
 
second guess everything you do
       F#7
until all you want is to
 
 
[Chorus] (4/4)
 
G                D
Finish this half empty glass
           G               F#7
before the ice all melts away
     G               D
This feeling always used to pass
                      F#7
Seems like it's every day
                      F#7
Seems like it's every night now
