Standard Tuning (Capo 2)
GHalf a year and here you are Cagain
GI'd go out in public if noDbody ever asked
GI sit home and drink alone and Chope that bottle speaks, like Gyou, like Dus,
like Gme
GHalf a year again, now it's a Cwhole
GFebruary stationery Dfrom you on the wall
And GI sit home and plead the throne to Cspeak to speak to me to me, to Dme, 
Hasn't Csaid a single Gthing
You're Gprobably too busy with your Cwork
Or Gam I just excusing you for Dleaving me alone
There's Gnothing in these wooden drawers to Cbring you back or keep me bored
I Gdon't know what to Ddo with Cme no GmoreEm  
Dear Deveryone I Cever really GknewEm  
I acted Dlike an asshole so CI could keep my Gedge on youEm  
Ended Dup abusing Ceven those I Gthought immune
I Ckilled the kingdom Gwith one move and Dnow it's Ctime to Gmove
Dear everyCbody that has Gpaid to see my band, 
GIt's still conCfusing, I'll Dnever understand
I Gacted like an Casshole so my Galbums would never burn
But I'm Emhungry now, and the Dscraps are Cdirty Gdirt
EmI'm hungry now in the Dscraps of Cdirty Gdirt
