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

[Chorus]
F#m A/C# D Bm
It’s not your place to try to change me
F#m A/C# D Bm
It’s far too late for you to save me
F#m A/C# D Bm
I’m tired of living in the background
F#m A/C# D Bm
I wanna leave but I don’t know how
[Verse 2]
F#m
I’m fading out slowly
E
The city’s so lonely
D Bm
Tell you I’m fine, push it aside
You think that you know me
F#m
I know I’m complacent
E
You’ll find a replacement
D Bm
If you need anything, I’ll be wasting away in the basement
[Break]

"Hey man, I'm sick of trying to track you down all the time...
F#m E D Bm
Get back to me... or I'm done. Alright?"
