*No Capo*
Tuning:  E   A   D   G   B   EStandard
(VERSE)
MiF#5nutes, running down the drA#5ain
This is where our liD#5ves go
This is where we staB5y
In a job that really paF#5ys
So much like the fiA#5rst step
Maybe just a misD#5step
Maybe just a phB5ase, just a phC#5ase
(BUILD-UP)
What am I supposed to dD#5o? 
   C#5What am I supposed to dD#5o?
   C#5What am I supposed to dF#5o?
(VERSE)
Take a Dramamine for nA#5ausea
Another pill for the broken boD#5nes
And the ringing in my heaB5d now
Sounds just like the telephoF#5ne
So it's over-complicA#5ated
A shame so shoved asD#5ide
Like the broken years I've wB5aited
And the emptiness insC#5ide
(BUILD-UP)
What am I supposed to dD#5o? 
   C#5What am I supposed to dD#5o?
   C#5What am I supposed to dF#5o?
(CHORUS)
Take one more on the chiC#5n
Grow a somewhat thicker skiD#5n
Let the scars all fade awaA#5y
Like the promise of todaB5y
And when the sky falls doC#5wn
I hope you're still aroF#5und
(OUTRO)
And eE5verything keeps chB5anging, 
but F5I won't be aroF#5und!
And eE5verything keeps chB5anging, 
but F5I won't be aroF#5und!
