Verse
G
You can tell me that it’s not my fault
Bm D/F#
Sleep all day, wide awake when the night falls
G
And I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Bm D/F#
"Just be yourself", the fuck is that supposed to mean
G
Told you that I’d stay in touch
Bm D/F#
But things change and these days I don’t get out much
G
And I’m sorry that I’ve not been there
Bm D/F#
Just things are tough, please don’t tell me I don’t fucking care
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Bm D/F# G Em
It’s not your place to try to change me
Bm D/F# G Em
It’s far too late for you to save me
Bm D/F# G Em
I’m tired of living in the background
Bm D/F# G Em
I wanna leave but I don’t know how
[Verse 2]
Bm
I’m fading out slowly
A
The city’s so lonely
G Em
Tell you I’m fine, push it aside
You think that you know me
Bm
I know I’m complacent
A
You’ll find a replacement
G Em
If you need anything, I’ll be wasting away in the basement
[Break]
Bm A G Em
"Hey man, I'm sick of trying to track you down all the time...
Bm A G Em
Get back to me... or I'm done. Alright?"
[Chorus]
G
You can tell me that it’s not my fault
Bm D/F#
Sleep all day, wide awake when the night falls
G
And I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Bm D/F#
Just be yourself, the fuck is that supposed to mean?
G
Told you that I’d stay in touch
Bm D/F#
But things change and these days I don’t get out much
G
And I’m sorry that I’ve not been there
Bm D/F#
Just things are tough, please don’t tell me I don’t fucking care

"Hey Jeff, It's mom. Just checking on you this morning to see how you're doing.
Bm A G
I'm really concerned cause I haven't heard anything from you, so please call me, okay? Love you. Bye."
