 I never thought_  I'd die alone_    I laughed the lou_dest who'd have known_?
            G5                B5                       G5                  D*
I trace the cord_ back to the wall_   No wonder it was never plugged in at all_
          G5                B5                     G5                    D*

I'm too depressed_, to go on_       You'll be sor_ry_ when I'm gone_

I ne_ver_ thought_   I'd die a_lone_   Another six_ months_ I'll be unknown_
             G5                B5                         G5               D*
Give all_ my things_ to all my friends_  You'll never set foot_ in my room again
                G5              B5                 G5                       D*
You'll close it off_, board_ it up_   Remember the time_ that I spilled the cup_
          G5              B5                     G5            Riff2b (guitar)
Of apple_ juice_  in_ the hall_     Please_ tell mom_ this is not her fault
