Gm A#
Looking back across the years through a million unshed tears
Cm Gm
How could I have held them all?
Gm A#
Oh the price that I have paid for all the love I never made
Cm Gm
Someone wrote up on the wall:
A# A#/A Gm
"How mighty is my pen...
A# A#/A Gm
if this is everywhere it's been?"
Cm Gm
Yes the wine's delicious, but I'm needing something stronger
Cm Gm
I'm growing suspicious that I won't be here much longer
A# A#/A Gm
Feels like I'm going down again.
A# A#/A Gm
Feels like I've lost my only friend

Gm A#
Crawling home from some saloon and all my strings are out of tune
Cm Gm
No one's around to break my fall
Gm A#
No attempt was ever made, so I slowly decayed
Cm Gm
Have a little faith in me, that's all
A# A#/A Gm A# A#/A Gm
"How mighty am I then, if this is everywhere I've been
Cm Gm
And as the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Cm Gm
I will disintegrate until there's nothing left at all
A# A#/A Gm A# A#/A Gm
Feels like I'm going down again. Feels like I've lost my only friend
A# A#/A
F5
And I never thought I'd see the day
D#5 C5 F5
My heroes all became psychotics
D#5 C5 F5
My drugs are all expensive exotics
D#5 C5 F5
My blood is thick with antibiotics
D#5 C5 F5
So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right
D#5 C5 F5
Take no blame so I can sleep so tight
D#5 C5
You know that out of mind is also out of sight
A# A#/A Gm (x2)
Cm Gm
As the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Cm Gm
I pass the closed apartment doors in rows along the hall
A# A#/A Gm
Feels like I'm going down again.
A# A#/A Gm
Feels like I've lost my only friend
