Verse 2
Am 
 (A minor) It's late afternoon,
F 
as you  (F major) walk through the rooms
C 
Of a  (C major) house that is quiet
E 
Except  (E major) for unanswered telephones.
Am 
You  (A minor) stand near the sink,
F 
You  (F major) mix up a drink.
C 
You think you  (C major) don't want to pass out
E 
Where your  (E major) roommates
could find you again.

F 
 (A minor) Stumble 'round the  (F major) neighboorhod, nothing
to do.

You're always  (C major) looking for something
E 
To  (E major) sniff smoke or swallow.
Am 
 (A minor) Calling over next door,
F 
 (F major) see what they've got.
C 
But you would settle  (C major) for anything
E 
That would  (E major) make your brain
Em 
slow down  (E minor) or
F 
C 
 (F major) Stop this circle of  (C major) thoughts you chase
F 
Before they  (F major) catch back up with you.
E 
F 
C 
And  (E major) your  (F major) parents notice your  (C major) thinning face,
E 
All the weight you've  (E major) lost,
All the weight you're losing.
Am 
You said  (A minor) "I'm done feeling like a skeleton,
F 
No more  (F major) sleep walking dead."
C 
You're going to  (C major) wake
from this coma.
E 
You're going to  (E major) crawl from this
bed you've made.
Am 
 (A minor) Stop counting on the camera
F 
That  (F major) hangs around your neck,
C 
Cause it will  (C major) never remember
E 
what you  (E major) choose to forget.

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

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

Seems like it's every  (E major) day
E 
Seems like it's every night  (E major) now.
