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

Em G
Crawling home from some saloon and all my strings are out of tune
Am Em
No one's around to break my fall
Em G
No attempt was ever made, so I slowly decayed
Am Em
Have a little faith in me, that's all
G G/F# Em G G/F# Em
"How mighty am I then, if this is everywhere I've been
Am Em
And as the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Am Em
I will disintegrate until there's nothing left at all
G G/F# Em G G/F# Em
Feels like I'm going down again. Feels like I've lost my only friend
G G/F#
D5
And I never thought I'd see the day
C5 A5 D5
My heroes all became psychotics
C5 A5 D5
My drugs are all expensive exotics
C5 A5 D5
My blood is thick with antibiotics
C5 A5 D5
So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right
C5 A5 D5
Take no blame so I can sleep so tight
C5 A5
You know that out of mind is also out of sight
G G/F# Em (x2)
Am Em
As the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Am Em
I pass the closed apartment doors in rows along the hall
G G/F# Em
Feels like I'm going down again.
G G/F# Em
Feels like I've lost my only friend
