I still remember

Verse 1
the hotel room where I sat.
C 
G 
 (C major) Fleeing the hand  (G major) that gripped you.
Em 
C 
 (E minor) I gave you  (C major) words,they were
inadequate.
Couldn't admit that I abandoned you.
My fear grew, ever stronger.
G 
My delu (G major) sion cast about me,
C 
a blanket to my conscious  (C major) mind.
G 
C 
And my  (G major) paradise  (C major) lies in blankets
and smoke.

Verse 2
C 
Remember when we were all  (C major) smiles,
blind to reality.
G 
I sat with eyes closed  (G major) for awhile.
As if days don't turn to months.
Except, I forgot it ends like this.
C 
 (C major) Blue veins,
cracked upon a pale surface.
Did you smile one last time,
as you closed your eyes?

Verse 3
G 
Because,  (G major) I don't want to close
my eyes anymore.
I want to be whole again,
how the fuck do I get there?
C 
I've lost what it means  (C major) to
be a person.
Haven't been reading enough
to know the right words,
So I keep mine to myself.
G 
Just thought I'd  (G major) take this chance.
Say I'm sorry.

Verse 4
G 
So one  (G major) more cigarette,
one more breath in between,
One more drink,
C 
One  (C major) more hit.
Hopefully take the breath out of me.
Counting seconds to minutes
as you slip away.

Verse 5
G 
You were going to be  (G major) someone.
We all I knew I, was supposed
to be the one.
Found on a cold tile floor.
C 
The vibrance of your be (C major) ing seemed so foreign,
as you lay there.

Verse 6
C 
I still keep the card Scott  (C major) 
gave in my pocket s
G 
O I  (G major) never leave your side again.
Each day, find myself asking what
would have been if I was there?
Again.
C 
 (C major) I should never have been there
in the first place.
