Intro:
Em             Bm
sitting around, no work today
C                 Em
try pacing to keep awake
Em            Bm
laying around, no school today
C                                             Em
just drink until the clock has circled all the way


Pre Verse:
Em
it is late afternoon
       G
as you walk through the rooms
     D
of a house that is quiet
           F#7
except for unanswered telephones
Em
you stand near the sink
    G
while you're mixing a drink
    D
you think you don't want to pass out
           F#7
where your roommates will find you again


Verse:
Bm                                   G
stumble around the neighborhood with nothing to do
             D
you're always looking for something
F#7
to sniff, smoke, or swallow
Bm                      G
calling over next door to see what they got
           D
but you would settle for anything
F#7
that would make your brain slow down or stop


Chorus:
G                    D
break this circle of thoughts you chase
           G                   F#7
before they catch back up with you
         G                    D
and your parents noticed your thinning face,
                    Bm
all the weight you lost
                      F#7
all the weight you are losing


Verse:
          Bm
you said, "i'm done feeling like a skeleton
        G
no more sleep walking dead"
                D
you're going to wake from this coma
                F#7
you're going to crawl from this bed you have made
Bm
stop counting on that camera
     G
that hangs round your neck
                 D
because it won't ever remember
         F#7
what you choose to forget as you
Bm
try to find some source of light
G
try to name one thing you like
D
used to have such a longer list
F#7
and light you never had to look for it
             Bm
but now it's so easy, it's so easy to
G
it's so easy, it's so easy to
D
second guess everything you do
      F#7
until all you want is, all you want is


Chorus:
    G               D
to finish this half empty glass
          G              F#7
before the ice all melts away
     G             D
this feeling always used to pass
                         Bm             F#7
but seems like it's every day and every night now
