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