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

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