[Intro] 
  Am   Am*
                        Am  Am*
I wanna run around wailing
                          Am   G  G* G  
I want to throw my arms and shake
AmI guess you get too hard to remember
                           Am   G  G* G  
And I can't put a finger on it
Fmaj7What’s the point welI I Gkeep running
Fmaj7Too tired to move my legGs
Fmaj7What's the holdup, why kGeep stalling
Fmaj7Why a man that you can't Gtame?
DmI just don't hear or wait anymorCe
DmI'm just a half-wit, easily flooCred
DmI think I'll fall out, and try iCt again
DmI think its long gone, and so far we've Cfailed
AmI wonder what we Greally F/Care
                                 Am  Am*
I guess you caught me in my whimper
                           Am   G  G* G  
I tried to skip and break my legs
AmYou found a place to stick let linger
                       Am   G  G* G  
And that sort of bothers me
Fmaj7What's the point, well I keep Grunning
Fmaj7One morning you'll Gawake
Fmaj7Too much dust and I can't Gshake off
Fmaj7Lay down, pull the covers Gover me
DmI've just been honed out, Cpinned any decored
DmI'm just some fall back, Cweak little whore
DmA man that's stronger, CI lost it somewhere
AmThat's just the way we Gwhimper anF/Cd wail.
