G G/F# Cadd9 Dsus2
There's no peace, little comfort, no one's shoulder
G G/F# Cadd9 Dsus2
Minor inklings of a time that made you colder

I'm not saying much I tried hard that's all I do
Cadd9 G/B Am G/B
Tried and waited then got tired, that's about it
[Chorus]

Got to wait this time why should I have time to answer?
G G/F# Cadd9 Dsus2
Several shades of why I can't go back, it's faster

G G/F# Cadd9 Dsus2
Gone at it the wrong way thought I'd find out but I missed it
G G/F# Cadd9 Dsus2
If I make it through I'll run and stop the twistin'
Cadd9 G/B Am G/B
Way I steered us off'll lose it just to give in
Cadd9 G/B Am G/B
Hell may not dwell on the dead how about the living?

There's no peace, little comfort, no one's shoulder
Not a wrinklings of a time that made you colder
I'm not saying much I tried hard that's all I do
Tried and waited then got tired, that's about it
With my time
With my time
Got to wait this time
Why should I have time to answer?
Several shades of why
I can't go back, it's faster
Don't expect it 'cause the ending's a disaster
Nothing, nothing, nothing man, a little laughter
With my time
With my time
Gone at it the wrong way
Thought I'd find out but I missed it
If I make it through I'll run and stop the twistin'
Way I steered us off'll lose it just to give in
Hell may not dwell on the dead
How about the living?
With my time
With my time
