Verse 1:
A                     G
  Was happiness a fad?
A
  Or was it in the lost and 
G
found again behind the issues
A                       G
  It might not be so bad
A
  We're all addicted
       G
to our tragedy
  D
I guess it's what
   E
it had to be
Chorus 1:
     A             G
With nothing on my back
      D
It's still enough 
   E
to bring me down
   A               G
My mind's about to crack
      D
Cause what I thought
      E
could not be found
A            G
Matter of in fact
     D
It's harder still 
     E
when you're around
     A             G
With nothing on my back
  D             E

A   G        A
  I might as well 
          D
belong to both of you
A         G        A
  And the mess you always
        D
seem to drag me through
A      G        A
  That night forever 
       D
always haunting me
A       G        A
  But I guess it is what
        D
it's supposed to be
     D
     (hold)
But spare your 
            E
thoughts of sympathy
(Repeat Chorus 1)

With nothing on my back

It's still enough

to bring me down

My mind's about to crack

Cause what I thought

Matter of in fact
     A
It's harder still

when your around

With nothing on my back
  A             B
                (hold)
