  • D

  • G

  • A

  • Em

Verse 1
D
When you were alive,
G
I was never alone
A
Somewhere in the world,
G
D
there was something called home
And as long as you lived, I would be alright
G
A
There were reasons to win,
G
D
and incentives to fight
G
A
Now I'm smoking again
D
I thought all that was through
Em
And I don't wanna live
G
A
But what else can I do

Verse 2
D
G
And I feel like I've faked all that I ever did
D
A
And I've grown a gray beard,
G
D
but I cry like a kid
I was seven when I sang
G
you'd rosin the bow
A
There in Aunt Mary's kitchen and
G
D
I don't guess I know
That it's why I've done
G
this for all of this time
A
But now I'm playing and singing,
G
D
G
seems a game or a crime
A
D
People have called to find out if I'm fine
Verse 3
D
Em
I assure them I am
G
A
D
But I'm not, it's a lie
They say in the end,
G
your good friends pull you through
A
But everyone knows,
G
my best friend was you
Interlude 2
D
Verse 4
D
Hey, I've gotten some help
G
I guess I was afraid
A
You suppose something will happen
G
D
when someone is paid
But I am getting better once
G
again I'll be strong
A
After all, listen,
G
I'm singing this song
D
Verse 5
G
A
D
When you were alive I was never alone
G
Em
Somewhere in the world there
G
A
was something called home
Verse 6
A
D
Now I feel like I'm homeless
G
but I will be alright
D
A
I'll get through the days
G
D
I'll face-down the the night
