B D

I'm lying wide awake in bed

My eyes are closed just like I'm dead

My friends all think that I'm a bore

F# B

But I don't need them anymore

I don't get up I don't go out

I have no life to speak about

It feels so good to leave the blame with you

So that's what I do

I'm going down

Come around

Watch me when I hit the ground

Give me just one fix of your

G F#

Sweet american love

I'd go blind

Lose my mind

Leave the world I know behind

Just to feel it one last time

G A B

My sweet american love

My telephone is off the hook

My eyes are closed I'm scared to look

I bet you're happy now you're free

F# B

But what about poor little me

I draw your picture on the wall

My phone is dead and still you call

My mama asked I told her I'd get by

that's such I lie

I'm going down

Come around

Watch me when I hit the ground

Give me just one fix of your
