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

It’s far too late for you to save me
D#m F#/A# B G#m
I’m tired of living in the background
D#m F#/A# B G#m
I wanna leave but I don’t know how
[Verse 2]
D#m
I’m fading out slowly

The city’s so lonely
B G#m
Tell you I’m fine, push it aside

If you need anything, I’ll be wasting away in the basement
