Intro
 Am--  C--  Am-- C  
 Am--  C--  Am-- C  
Verse:
AmI just drove under the Lincoln sign
CTo where New Jersey meets the New York line
GAnd through the tunnel for the last time
FWith everything crumbling behind
AmI stood still until I felt the shakes
COf two bodies that were parting ways
GI didn't want to be the one to say
FI know this hurts but it's time to break
AmIn Gtwo pieces, Dmthe fault line is Fnot secure
AmA boat or bridge Gis needed Fto get back to Gher
Chorus
CI feel like I am Gparalyzed
When I look Amat the extra Gspace left in my Fbed
And think about all the things we did
CAt least I'm feeling Gmore alive
But I still Amhave some old weight Gthat I've got to Fshed
Before I find happiness
Verse
AmI make mountains out of my worries
CAnd I plant pain instead of sturdy trees
GI have got to wash these old sheets
FSo I can fall asleep
AmThere are times, there are times I reach for the phone
CTo tell you that there might still be some hope
GHolding on to the slack of rope
FBut that's the whiskey talking, so
 AmI Ghope that you Dmcan find some Fpeace in life
AmCan you Gsurvive without me?
'Cause FI thought I'd be fine.
GNow I am slurring every single line.
Chorus
CI feel like I am Gparalyzed
When I look Amat the extra Gspace left in my Fbed
And think about all the things we did
CAt least I'm feeling Gmore alive
But I still Amhave some old weight Gthat I've got to Fshed
AmI've got to move on before I can find happiCness
AmThis isn't fair, nobody taught me (Chow to let go)
Am"Just be here now" and you'll be set free Cfrom sorrow?
AmBut at this time, I don't see clearly C(How will I know?) 
AmWhat is the point? What is the meaning?C  
AmNow I'm struggling, I black Fout so I can't dream
But I Cstill see you sneaking through my Gweary head
I Amsuffer from a drought of mediFcine to dull self-doubt
I just Cwanna drown you out with Gsouthern poison
AmIf I had a drink for every FGoddamn time I think
About your Cpale skin dressed in pink
Then at Gleast I could sleep
AmIf I had a shot for every FGoddamn time I thought
About your Cface and what I lost
At Gleast I'd get some Amsleep
FSleep, Csleep, at Gleast I'd get some Amsleep
FSleep, Csleep, then at Gleast I'd get some Amsleep

Intro

Am C Am C

Verse:

I just drove under the Lincoln sign

To where New Jersey meets the New York line

And through the tunnel for the last time

With everything crumbling behind

I stood still until I felt the shakes

Of two bodies that were parting ways

I didn't want to be the one to say

I know this hurts but it's time to break

Am G Dm F

In two pieces, the fault line is not secure

Am G F G

A boat or bridge is needed to get back to her

Chorus

C G

I feel like I am paralyzed

Am G F

When I look at the extra space left in my bed

And think about all the things we did

C G

At least I'm feeling more alive

Am G F

But I still have some old weight that I've got to shed

Before I find happiness

Verse

I make mountains out of my worries

And I plant pain instead of sturdy trees

I have got to wash these old sheets

So I can fall asleep

There are times, there are times I reach for the phone

To tell you that there might still be some hope

Holding on to the slack of rope

But that's the whiskey talking, so

Am G Dm F

I hope that you can find some peace in life

Am G

Can you survive without me?

'Cause I thought I'd be fine.

Now I am slurring every single line.

Chorus

C G

I feel like I am paralyzed

Am G F

When I look at the extra space left in my bed

And think about all the things we did

C G

At least I'm feeling more alive

Am G F

But I still have some old weight that I've got to shed

Am C

I've got to move on before I can find happiness

Am C

This isn't fair, nobody taught me (how to let go)

Am C

"Just be here now" and you'll be set free from sorrow?

Am C

But at this time, I don't see clearly (How will I know?)

Am C

What is the point? What is the meaning?

Am F

Now I'm struggling, I black out so I can't dream

C G

But I still see you sneaking through my weary head

Am F

I suffer from a drought of medicine to dull self-doubt

C G

I just wanna drown you out with southern poison

Am F

If I had a drink for every Goddamn time I think

About your pale skin dressed in pink

Then at least I could sleep

Am F

If I had a shot for every Goddamn time I thought

About your face and what I lost

G Am

At least I'd get some sleep

F C G Am

Sleep, sleep, at least I'd get some sleep

F C G Am

Sleep, sleep, then at least I'd get some sleep
