Note: Play the first chord for the first three beats, and quickly
switch to the second chord for the final beat before again
quickly switching to the next chord in the next bar - almost
like you're performing a pull off, but actually strumming the
chord again.
C G
well, i'm trying to be patient
F
yeah, the wheels keep turnin' 'round
G#
but it's a treadmill and i'm just
C
dragging my feet. i'm so tired
G F
of everything-defeated by routine-
G# C
by words that don't mean anything to me
G
at least not anymore, now that
C G
i'm done with the mourning of a
Am F C
day without ending. a year of
G Am F
decadance to escape from penance
C G
but i suffered and i'm over it
Am F
yeah i'm fine now, but i'm sick of it
C G
i was happy being miserable
Am F >
i used to lay down my head at the bar > Strum these notes slowly
G# > from the bass to high, and
and raise one lonely finger for a drink > let the notes ring out.
[play intro riff again, until:]
C G
it doesn't have to be so difficult
F G#
just keep coasting by. so you lost a limb
C
well hell, those wounds will heal with time
G
(but what happens when you loved what you lost?)
F
you didn't have to cut it off
G#
but you did and i do and it took
C
everything i had. i wonder if i could
G C G
ever get it back to how it was,
Am F
when i still thought of love as a
C G Am
risk i could take-if i was willing
F C G
to make the commitment to rejection
Am F
the mind games, the deception
C G
the late nights under the covers
Am F >
pointing the finger at who ever started >
G# >
whatever we were fighting about >
C
i guess that i'm fine now
G
yeah, everything's better
F G#
everything's cooled down-it's all copasetic
C G
we'll move on, off to a better world
F G#
to a fresh start where everything's possible...
C G
but i'm sick of it
Am F
yeah, i'm sick of it
C G
no-i'm sick of it
Am F
yeah, i'm sick of it
C
i Am
G
so sick
Am
of it
F C
uh-huh
