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

F#m A
Crawling home from some saloon and all my strings are out of tune
Bm F#m
No one's around to break my fall
F#m A
No attempt was ever made, so I slowly decayed
Bm F#m
Have a little faith in me, that's all
A A/G# F#m A A/G# F#m
"How mighty am I then, if this is everywhere I've been
Bm F#m
And as the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Bm F#m
I will disintegrate until there's nothing left at all
A A/G# F#m A A/G# F#m
Feels like I'm going down again. Feels like I've lost my only friend
A A/G#
E5
And I never thought I'd see the day
D5 B5 E5
My heroes all became psychotics
D5 B5 E5
My drugs are all expensive exotics
D5 B5 E5
My blood is thick with antibiotics
D5 B5 E5
So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right
D5 B5 E5
Take no blame so I can sleep so tight
D5 B5
You know that out of mind is also out of sight
A A/G# F#m (x2)
Bm F#m
As the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Bm F#m
I pass the closed apartment doors in rows along the hall
A A/G# F#m
Feels like I'm going down again.
A A/G# F#m
Feels like I've lost my only friend
