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

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

Just things are tough, please don’t tell me I don’t fucking care
