Corduroy

C 
Indifferent to the people I detest 
       Am 
But it harms me in a way 

That even I cannot detect 
            Dm7 
In my own flesh and blood 
              G7 
I think I've had enough 

(I think I've had enough, I've had enough) 

C 
I welcome death with open arms 
                              Am 
Like an old friend I haven't seen 

Since I was young, when young was old 
                         Dm7 
When daddy did terrible things 
                                                   G7 
Maybe I'd feel better then, when I leave you like this 

(Don't let me leave, don't let me leave 
Don't let me leave it all behind) 
     C 
Oh, while some days are not that bad 
                        Am 
Even pleasant one might say 

I can't control the thoughts I have 
                            Dm7 
I can't control thе present wave of еmotion 
                        G7 
Anxiously hoping for something or someone 

For anything at all 



           F 
I can't imagine a life without familiarity 
          Am 
I can't imagine what it's like to live with certainty 
             C 
I like to rewatch movies 

So I know the end of every scene 
            G 
I know the end of everything I do 

Because I won't ever leave my room 
       F 
It's safer here, safety's all I want and all I need 
            Am 
Buried my issues here, deep within 

The walls and in my dreams 
              C 
In my own atmosphere is where I'll die 

So, let me die in peace 
            G 
I'm on my final breath, my final steps 

I've never felt so free 



         F 
But my head's spinning 
                                   Am 
I can't help but think of who I'm abandoning 
                                   C 
And suddenly my chest cries out in pure panic 

It cannot end like this 
              G 
I say with strength I haven't felt before 

And that's when it finally hits 
          F 
With my hands sweating 

Climb down from the ledge 
                  Am 
I once saw so threatening 

But it don't cause me fear no more 
     C 
My fingers touch the fabric of my jacket 

Made of corduroy 
    G 
Reminding me of Brentwood 
                                         F 
And the things that I would die to see again 



           Am 
Die to see again (g-g-gain) 
           Am 
Die to see again (g-g-gain) 
           Am 
Die to see again (g-g-gain) 
           Am 
Die to see again (g-g-gain) 



      C     G 
Woah, oooh oooh 
     F 
My jacket made of corduroy 
                              Am 
Oh I stand to lose my life, my soul, my time 
  N.c 
My home, my thoughts 

My sweet and sour youth 
            C 
I can't let go of who I was 

But I can cut myself in two 
            G 
And I can pick up all the pieces 

And let everybody choose 



     F                                                   Am 
Yeah, yeah it's all in your mind, boy, it's all in your head 
                                                  C 
Leave it all behind, you can finish when you're dead 

I'll be waiting for you here 
                           G 
When this madness finally ends 
     N.c 
Remember who you are 
           N.c 
Don't forget her 



            F 
When your head's spinning 
                          Am 
Stuck in a room with the television on 

While you're tripping on shrooms 
            C 
You got your thoughts spilling 
                                G 
But none of it's true, it's a facade 

Your heart can tear apart the parts that make it you 

Final 

C 
Hello again, it's nice to see you're back 
         Am 
Did you like the things you saw 
                                      Dm7 
Do you finally understand why I wear corduroy? 
               G7 
I really like corduroy 
C 
Hello my friend, anything you'd like to ask 
    Am 
Any unresolved illusions in your head 

That make you gag 
             Dm7 
I'm just one call away 
                G7 
So please don't be afraid to 
          C 
Call me, back
