D Db D A Ab A
And Dit’s Dball thDe Atreasures Abthat shine in the street
As we driAve Dright ovDber themD  A  Ab  
AAnd DiDbts Dall tAhe AbmorniAngs we missed for sleep
As the sun glBides C#over our apartment
And it’s all the subtle change in landscape and business
Reminds you of your limited time
This time you’ll listen to the movement in your body
How it keeps on despite you and it frightens you
Cause you’re barely alive
D Db D A Ab A
You’re desperate in finding something else to please you
You’ve been searching your whole life
Something to mute, change, or just distract you
Something to put inside you to give the illusion of life
Cause you’ve always been barely alive
Cause you’re barely alive
Cause you’re barely alive
You’ve always been barely alive
BHave Dyou not?
And Athe greaAbtest Aescape tDmhat you evAer did make
With your arms by yoDmur side Aleft it uBp to fate
AAnd the coast tAbhat AyouDm’ve seen Athough you’re watching them weekly
DmYou’Ave cursed all perfect days as Byou walked away
DI can hear you say, “Jenny, you’re barely alive”
Ba metaDl rods you put in your fucking jaw to keep you from grinding your teeth at night
D Db D  A Ab A
Cause you’re barely alive
You’ve always been barely alive
Cause you’re barely alive
Always been barely alive
