VERSE 1 (play main riff throughout the verses)
GmI've woken up on mornings such as this
And thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now
Every night for a year I've slept alone
My cold damp room looks worse than me
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon but then again I might
Just like water down the drain I'm wasting away
And oh, doctors can't help, a ghost of a man, that's me

Just like water down the drain I'm wasting away

And oh, doctors can't help, a ghost of a man, that's me
