EUp on Scorpion AHill watching Elife
Passing me by in the Apale mBoonlight
EAnd I sat there forever
Three Asheets to the wC#mind
BIt's not helping my case
The state that I'm in
ABut it's not how they Etold you
AMy intentions were Egood
AI was just bursting apart
Like the Eend of the ark
C#mHolding on to whatever I F#mcould A
EAEA
C#mBA
EA square of light moves
Its Bway through the empty Aroom
EAcross the stained yellow F#mcarpet
ELike a ghost of myBself in the Aafternoon
Haunting my Cbasement apartment
BI looked in Cto the mirror
C#mHanging behind my Adoor
BThe glass was cracked
And the Cman staring back
C#mHe don't look like me Aanymore
And if the Bworld is gonna burn
EveryCone should get
A turn to light it up
EBC#mA
EBC#m
AEB
C#mDown Aand Eout, BI've C#mbeen Aon the rocks E B
C#mI've Abeen Ehaving some Apretty dark F#mthoughts
Yeah, I like them a Blot Cm
EAEA
C#mBA
ETime and time Bagain, well I've tried
And Afailed to get my act together
EAnd I'll admit lately Abmthings
Really went off the Arails
CI know that you deserve better
BBut in the morning, Cas I was boarding
C#mThe commuter train to Awork
BThe boss was calling, he said
"CThere's been cutbacks and
C#mI'm sorry you're the Afirst"
BAnd If I can't support the two of us
CmHow can I support a third?
EB
C#mDown Aand Eout, BI've C#mbeen Aon the rocks E B
C#mI've Abeen Ehaving some Apretty dark F#mthoughts
BAnd I'm on the brink
EFalling deep into debt
AFalling deep into drink
F#mI can drown those regrets
I don't have to Bthink
ANow I'm working the night Eshift
AAsleep at the Ewheel
AI was bursting apart like a Eflame from a spark
C#mThinkin' "F#mJesus, this can't be for real"
AMy sweat-soaked Emattress
ACorner of the rEoom
ACigarettes and Ematches
C#mIn the fading aF#mfternoon
AAnd a picture of my kid
Yeah, he's smiling
It's the first day of Eschool
EBC#mA
EBC#mA
EBC#mA
F#mShe said, "I found the Bgun
It was buried Ebeneath
Piles of Aclothes in the room
Where your son F#msleeps
And I can't pBretend
To know how this will Eend"
