[Verse 1]
DIt's been about three weeks now, since I laid in her bedG  
DNo rest for my soul I need, A little soul rest for my headG  
DSee I've been dancing with possibility, playing with my razor bladeG  
DI lost the thing I thought I had, the thing that made me think I had
Git made
[Chorus]
F#mWhy are you laying Gdown? I say that it beats standing upD  
F#mWhat's got you feeling so Gdown, I hold up my empty cupD  
My F#mfriend, as you can Gsee, I have nothing to pourD  
F#mInvited in, I gave all I Ghad and they showed me the doorD  
F#mThey sGhowed me the doorD  
[Verse 2]
DIt seems it's been forever now, I'm giving up on that bedG  
DI ain't got much soul left now, And I don't have that much bread        G  
DI'm seeing that there are no more possibilities, I've tossed away my razor Gblade
DI never had the thing I thought I had, the thing that made me think G  
DI had it made. Think I had it madeG  
[Chorus]
F#mWhy are you laying Gdown? I say that it beats standing upD  
F#mWhat's got you feeling so Gdown, I hold up my empty cupD  
My F#mfriend, as you can Gsee, I have nothing to pourD  
F#mInvited in, I gave all I Ghad and they showed me the doorD  
F#mThey sGhowed me the doorD

it made

What's got you feeling so down, I hold up my empty cup

Invited in, I gave all I had and they showed me the door
