 C                  Em                 Am
Yesterday came and went and I wasn't present
                           Dm
The weeks were laid out like pavement
Work and drink and sleep, repeat

C                    Em              Am
Upon the beaten path, I kept on my blinders
                     Dm
don't need any old reminders
no face, no name, no memories


Chorus:

F                C
If you love it, you leave it
Dm                    G
'cause you hate that, you need it
F                C
It's one thing, you can't have
        Dm                    G
you're too self absorbed to change
          F
always, "My way, my way, my way,..."


C   Em   Am   Dm


C                       Em
Tomorrow could come and go
                            Am
and I'd sleep right through it
                              Dm
I'm not searching for self improvement
I'm sticking to the beaten path
Here and there I come across an old acquaintance
some old flame, some old burn victim
I remember I need to forget

Chorus:

Everything I ever said to you
If I could take it back,
I'd eat every word
You want to feel like all those others feel,
but you won't, and you never will
All that you love you lose


you do, you do, ....
