Thought about

Singin'''' but I couldn''''t remember all of the words
D A Em G
Breakin'''' but I couldn''''t get the pieces apart
D A Em
Laughin'''' never knowing what the joke was about
G-hold it for 15 down strums, with 1 sec in between.
Now I''''m down
D A
And I wonder how I never got the burn

And if I''''m ever gonna learn

How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time
