End with the Verse Chords.
If I had a dollar bill for every time I've been wrong,
I'd be a self-made millionaire and you'd still be gone.
So, hand me down my best dress shoes and my best dress shirt
'cause I'm going out in style to cover the hurt.
All I wanna do all day is spend it in bed...
But that's bad for the body and even worse for my head...
So I'll try and find a place where no one will ask me a thing.
It'll help me to forget and help me to sing,
'Cause now, I'm drunk again, the means to my end, and I'm scared of myself
'Cause now, it's all the same, the faces and names, and I'm scared of myself... again.
Have you ever wanted to wake up from your dreaming?
Scared you so bad you couldn't control your heart or your breathing?
Well walk out the door with me on the floor,
You don't care how I'm feeling.
I guess a weak and tired and frightened man is no longer appealing.
'Cause now, I'm drunk again, the means to my end, and I'm scared of myself
'Cause now, it's all the same, the faces and names, and I'm scared of myself... again.
Some people have a gift of reaching right into your soul
And finding the hole
And making it bigger.
Baby sometimes I think I catch ya crackin' cynical smiles
And in a short while, you'll be my
heart's grave digger!
Well there's not much I can do,
Cause I'm at the mercy of you
So baby I guess we're through.
'Cause now, I'm drunk again, the means to my end, and I'm scared of myself
'Cause now, it's all the same, the faces and names, and I'm scared of myself
'Cause now, it's all the same, the faces and names! And I'm scared of myself
So go... walk out the door, you don't believe me no more! And I'm scared of myself again...
If I had a dollar bill for every time I've been wrong,
I'd be a self-made millionaire and I wouldn't be singing.

If I had a dollar bill for every time I've been wrong,
I'd be a self-made millionaire and you'd still be gone.
So, hand me down my best dress shoes and my best dress shirt
'cause I'm going out in style to cover the hurt.
All I wanna do all day is spend it in bed...
But that's bad for the body and even worse for my head...
So I'll try and find a place where no one will ask me a thing.
It'll help me to forget and help me to sing,
'Cause now, I'm drunk again, the means to my end, and I'm scared of myself
'Cause now, it's all the same, the faces and names, and I'm scared of myself... again.
Have you ever wanted to wake up from your dreaming?
Scared you so bad you couldn't control your heart or your breathing?
Well walk out the door with me on the floor,
You don't care how I'm feeling.
I guess a weak and tired and frightened man is no longer appealing.
'Cause now, I'm drunk again, the means to my end, and I'm scared of myself
'Cause now, it's all the same, the faces and names, and I'm scared of myself... again.
Some people have a gift of reaching right into your soul
And finding the hole
And making it bigger.
Baby sometimes I think I catch ya crackin' cynical smiles
And in a short while, you'll be my
heart's grave digger!
Well there's not much I can do,
Cause I'm at the mercy of you
So baby I guess we're through.
'Cause now, I'm drunk again, the means to my end, and I'm scared of myself
'Cause now, it's all the same, the faces and names, and I'm scared of myself
'Cause now, it's all the same, the faces and names! And I'm scared of myself
So go... walk out the door, you don't believe me no more! And I'm scared of myself again...
If I had a dollar bill for every time I've been wrong,
I'd be a self-made millionaire and I wouldn't be singing.
