Tired of my Life by David Bowie
DI don’t know why, but I’m Amtired of my lifeG  
Pain is over me, overlBboadedC  Cadd9  C  
DI don’t know why, but you’re Amtrying to be kindG  
Take off your silver smile, throw your Bbhead backC  Cadd9  C  
       D( Am   C   G  A)
and cry…
DI don’t believe, but I’m Amtrying to decideG  
which game is best for me, which can BbI bear?C  Cadd9  C  
DYou don’t perceive so I’m Amleading you awayG  
Home where you’ve never been, non-BbreturningC  Cadd9  C  
       D( Am   C   G  A)
So cry…
EThrow a rock upon the road and it Abreaks into pieces
CShake a branch upon the snow and the Asun is defeated
EPull the curtains on yesterday and it Aseems so much later
CPut a bullet in my brain and I Amake all the papers
   E( D   D   A  B)
Ahh…
C C# D
DI don’t know why, but I’m Amtired of my lifeG  
The clouds are in my eyes, overBbtakingC  Cadd9  C  
DAhCh…A
