(D) F Dm
Well I?ve been slackjawed, awestruck
A# C
carryin? on
F Dm
but I?ve been cornered, and broke down
A# C
plenty before
A# F
But I just can?t seem
A# F
To find a dream
A# F
nice enough to hold up
C
to that light
F Dm
Well I?ve been half-dead, rotten
A# C
and over my head
F Dm
I?ve been sleepwalking, shit-talking
A# C
Forgetting again
A# F
But it?s hard to be
A# F
So inbetween
A# G?C
The truth and alibis
Prechorus:
Dm A#
Why?s it always have to be?
Dm A#
Half mangled and muddy dreams
Dm A# C
Tryin? to get things off my mind
Chorus:
F C
Staring at a blank page
A# Dm
drowning in the ashtray
Gm A# C
Trying to make the words come out right
F C
And if I can?t make it
A# Dm
I?ll do my best to fake it
Gm A# C
Trying to make a living out of dyin?
Dm A#
Ooooh, ooh-oh-oooh
Dm A#
Oh, Ooooh-oh-oooh
Dm A#
Oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
C
Oooooooooh
