Dsus2And a bunch of other Athings
Dsus2Stop looking at the Afloor...
I need to Bmpour out this exApansive dose of GworBmds.
I Acan't exGplaBmin...
I Aneed to Gbe Dsus2alone.
Dsus2I know the tAiming isn't great
Dsus2But these Athings, you just can't plan.
Dsus2I just need a little Atime
So I can Bmfind myself Aagain
Dsus2'Cause I get buried underAneath
Dsus2All the things they think you Aare
Dsus2And I'm too tired to preAtend it doesn't Bmhurt
To be left Aout
Dsus2I had a pocket full of Adreams
Dsus2But I gave them all to Ayou
Dsus2Now I think I want them Aback
So can you Bmtell me if I'm Acrazy or GconBmfused?
Don't Aever GchaBmnge
The Away you GareBm
