Dm F
Looking back across the years through a million unshed tears
Gm Dm
How could I have held them all?
Dm F
Oh the price that I have paid for all the love I never made
Gm Dm
Someone wrote up on the wall:
F F/E Dm
"How mighty is my pen...
F F/E Dm
if this is everywhere it's been?"
Gm Dm
Yes the wine's delicious, but I'm needing something stronger
Gm Dm

F F/E Dm
Feels like I'm going down again.
F F/E Dm
Feels like I've lost my only friend

Dm F
Crawling home from some saloon and all my strings are out of tune
Gm Dm
No one's around to break my fall
Dm F
No attempt was ever made, so I slowly decayed
Gm Dm
Have a little faith in me, that's all
F F/E Dm F F/E Dm
"How mighty am I then, if this is everywhere I've been
Gm Dm
And as the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Gm Dm
I will disintegrate until there's nothing left at all
F F/E Dm F F/E Dm
Feels like I'm going down again. Feels like I've lost my only friend
F F/E

And I never thought I'd see the day
A#5 G5 C5
My heroes all became psychotics
A#5 G5 C5
My drugs are all expensive exotics
A#5 G5 C5
My blood is thick with antibiotics
A#5 G5 C5
So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right
A#5 G5 C5
Take no blame so I can sleep so tight
A#5 G5
You know that out of mind is also out of sight
F F/E Dm (x2)
Gm Dm
As the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall

I pass the closed apartment doors in rows along the hall

Feels like I'm going down again.
F F/E Dm
Feels like I've lost my only friend
