Intro
F
[Verse]
F
I would have thought by now I’d be overgrown
F
and at the station waiting I should have known
A#
just how much life was inside of me, cut down a branch of my family tree.
F
You find it hard to see that the future’s bright ‘cus you just sleep all day and stay up all night.
A#
Be safe, be brave, be whatever you like, just don’t involve me
A#
‘cus I don’t wanna do it again.
[Chorus]
Gm C F
I’m getting tired and old. I only wanted a friend
Dm Gm
someone to do as they’re told. I started falling apart
C
as I was ready to go.
[Verse]
F
I see a glass half full and you say you don’t.
I know you say you will but I know you won’t.
A#
Your teeth dug in and they won’t let go,
you try your best but it just don’t show.
F
And when the road is closed and you’re walking home
could it be time to call it and just go home
A#
to your fine line of a quiet life,
acquired by knowing that
A#
I don’t wanna do it again.
[Chorus]
Gm C F
I’m getting tired and old. I only wanted a friend,
Dm Gm
I’ll do whatever I’m told. I started falling apart
C
as I was ready to go.
[Solo]

Gm C F
[Outro]
F A# Gm C
When everything beside you comes crashing down I’ll find you
F A# Gm C
and while I sleep I see you and what it’s like to be you
F A# Gm C
Take care and don’t be fearful, there’s no undoing evil.
F A# Gm C F
It’s all a bunch of lies anyway, so why bother, why waste your tiiiiiiiiiiiii
F
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
