   F#m/C#Sitting around, no F#m/Cwork today
Try F#m/Bpacing to keep awF#make

Just F#m/Bdrink until the clock has circled all the F#mway
Bm  Bm  Bm  F#7
[Verse 1] (3/4)
It is Bmlate afternoon
as you Gwalk through the rooms
of a Dhouse that is quiet
except for F#7unanswered telephones
You Bmstand near the sink
while you're Gmixing a drink
You think you Ddon't want to pass out
where your F#7roommates will find you again
[Bridge] (3/4)
  BmStumble around the neighborhooGd with nothing to do
You're always Dlooking for something to F#7sniff, smoke or swallow
  BmCalling over next door Gto see what they got
But you would Dsettle for anything that would F#7make your brain slow down or
[Chorus] (4/4)
GBreak this circle of Dthoughts you chase before they Gcatch back up with yF#7ou
And your Gparents noticed your Dthinning face
All the weight you lF#7ost
All the weight you're lF#7osing
[Verse 2] (4/4)
You said "I'm Bmdone feeling like a skeleton, no more Gsleepwalking dead"
You're gonna Dwake from this coma
You're gonna F#7crawl from this bed you've made
   BmStop counting on that camera
that Ghangs round your neck
Because it won't Dever remember
what you F#7choose to forget
As you Bmtry to find some source of light
 GTry to name one thing you like
 DYou used to have such a longer list
   F#7Light you never had to look for it
But now it's Bmso easy, it's so easy tGo
It's so easy, it's so easy tDo
second guess everything you do
until aF#7ll you want is to
[Chorus] (4/4)
GFinish this half Dempty glass
before the Gice all melts awF#7ay
This Gfeeling always uDsed to pass
Seems like it's every F#7day
Seems like it's every F#7night now
