	   D	  Db	    D	A	        Ab
And it�s all the treasures that shine in the street
         A  D	      Db        D    A	Ab
As we drive right over them
A  D	Db	D    A		Ab   A
And its all the mornings we missed for sleep
             B			C#
As the sun glides 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
B 		D
Have you not?

   A        Ab  A 	      Dm        A
And the greatest escape that you ever did make
                    Dm	    A	        B
With your arms by your side left it up to fate
A              Ab A			Dm    		A
And the coast that you�ve seen though you�re watching them weekly
Dm		A                             B
You�ve cursed all perfect days as you walked away
D
I can hear you say, �Jenny, you�re barely alive�

B					D
a metal 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
