Verse 2
Am 
It's late afternoon,
F 
as you walk through the rooms
C 
Of a house that is quiet
E 
Except for unanswered telephones.
Am 
You stand near the sink,
F 
You mix up a drink.
C 
You think you don't want to pass out
E 
Where your roommates
could find you again.
Am 
F 
Stumble 'round the neighboorhod, nothing
to do.
C 
You're always looking for something
E 
To sniff smoke or swallow.
Am 
Calling over next door,
F 
see what they've got.
C 
But you would settle for anything
E 
That would make your brain
Em 
slow down or
F 
C 
Stop this circle of thoughts you chase
F 
Before they catch back up with you.
E 
F 
C 
And your parents notice your thinning face,
E 
All the weight you've lost,
All the weight you're losing.
Am 
You said "I'm done feeling like a skeleton,
F 
No more sleep walking dead."
C 
You're going to wake
from this coma.
E 
You're going to crawl from this
bed you've made.
Am 
Stop counting on the camera
F 
That hangs around your neck,
C 
Cause it will never remember
E 
what you choose to forget.

Verse 3
Am 
And you try to find one source of light,
F 
Try to name one thing you like.
C 
You used to have such a longer list,
E 
And light, you never had to look for it.
Am 
But now it's so easy, it's

Verse 4
F 
so easy to
It's so easy, it's so easy to
C 
Second guess everything you do
E 
Until all you want, all you want is to
F 
C 
Finish this half empty glass
F 
E 
Before the ice all melts away.
F 
C 
This feeling always used to pass,
E 
Seems like it's every day
E 
Seems like it's every night now.
