Intro
E5
Verse 1
E5It takes a long time to kill a man
Fifty-five years at least
Until he breaks down
Starts to look underground 
To go off, and get him some A5peace
I want to die a lot quicker then that
If that’s my only way out 
I’ve been counting up the coast
Getting up on that cross
I want to know what this is all about
Chorus
Father B5Time steals our A5days like a E5thief
There’s no B5price that I wouldn’t A5pay to get some E5relief
I’ve C#m7become the empty A5shell 
Of a B5man I don’t like so A5well
I am a B5living, breathing A5hell
Come on and resurrect E5me
Verse 2
E5I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine
It didn’t seem to help
She’s got a pretty face with her wedding lace
But I’m still waking up with A5myself
E5I know what it means to choke it down
Down until your legs get weak
I know what it’s like on Saturday night
To be alone in a crowded street

Intro

Verse 1

It takes a long time to kill a man

Fifty-five years at least

Until he breaks down

Starts to look underground

To go off, and get him some peace

I want to die a lot quicker then that

If that’s my only way out

I’ve been counting up the coast

Getting up on that cross

I want to know what this is all about

Chorus

B5 A5 E5

Father Time steals our days like a thief

B5 A5 E5

There’s no price that I wouldn’t pay to get some relief

C#m7 A5

I’ve become the empty shell

B5 A5

Of a man I don’t like so well

B5 A5

I am a living, breathing hell

Come on and resurrect me

Verse 2

I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine

It didn’t seem to help

She’s got a pretty face with her wedding lace

But I’m still waking up with myself

I know what it means to choke it down

Down until your legs get weak

I know what it’s like on Saturday night

To be alone in a crowded street
