Intro: Gmaj9 A D Bm7 

Intro 
(Because he can't fit the real world 
Into his unreal idea of how it could be 
He is so frustrated that he loses control of himself) 

 
            G 
Tell the kids I'm ok 
                   D                   Bm7 
I'm thinking way too hard about you, you know 
           Gmaj9                      D                Bm7 
I keep count of the ways that I could end my life without this 
A 
I've tried, but I can't 


Gmaj9                        A 
           Do the things you do 
                D 
Say what I mean to 
              Bm7 
Think I’ll be okay 
                  Gmaj9 
Sorry it falls on you 
                   A 
Now that you have gone 
              Bm7 
I'll kick the Demerol 
                              D 
Cause me and myself, we don't get along 

 
Gmaj9       A 
So call it what it is, call it what it is 
           Bm7                      Gmaj9 
Cause I don't feel real, I don't feel real now 
Gmaj9         A 
And tell my why it is, tell me why it is 
           Bm7                          Gmaj9 
That I don't feel real, I don’t feel real now

You know John in '08? He just got out today

So look up, I'll try, so you go 

 
Gmaj9                 A                     D 
And do the things you do, say what you mean to 
              Bm7                     Gmaj9 
Swear I’ll be okay, sorry it falls on you 
                      A 
And now that you have gone 
               Bm7 
Cigarettes and Demerol      
             D 
Cause me and myself we don't get along 


Gmaj9       A 
So call it what it is, call it what it is 
           Bm7                      Gmaj9 
Cause I don't feel real, I don't feel real now 
Gmaj9         A 
And tell my why it is, tell me why it is 
           Bm7                          Gmaj9 
That I don't feel real, I don’t feel real now
