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

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