Intro

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

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