Verse
C
You can tell me that it’s not my fault
Em G/B
Sleep all day, wide awake when the night falls
C
And I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Em G/B
"Just be yourself", the fuck is that supposed to mean
C
Told you that I’d stay in touch
Em G/B
But things change and these days I don’t get out much
C
And I’m sorry that I’ve not been there
Em G/B
Just things are tough, please don’t tell me I don’t fucking care
[Interlude]
| C | Em G/B | C | Em G/B |
[Chorus]
Em G/B C Am
It’s not your place to try to change me
Em G/B C Am
It’s far too late for you to save me
Em G/B C Am
I’m tired of living in the background
Em G/B C Am
I wanna leave but I don’t know how
[Verse 2]
Em
I’m fading out slowly
D
The city’s so lonely
C Am
Tell you I’m fine, push it aside
You think that you know me
Em
I know I’m complacent

You’ll find a replacement
C Am
If you need anything, I’ll be wasting away in the basement

Get back to me... or I'm done. Alright?"
[Chorus]
C
You can tell me that it’s not my fault
Em G/B
Sleep all day, wide awake when the night falls

And I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Em G/B
Just be yourself, the fuck is that supposed to mean?
C
Told you that I’d stay in touch
Em G/B
But things change and these days I don’t get out much
