E                  A 
  I was feeling a little bizarre 
B                  C#m             E 
  The day that I buried my family car 
         A                  B  C#m 
In the scrapmetal wrecking yard 
E                  A 
And I've said so many goodbyes 
       B             C#m         B 
In the 25 years that I've been alive 
     E           A                   B     E 
And I don't know why this one was so   hard 


     A                   E 
And everytime when I go back to my apartment 
B                      C#m 
All I wanna do is get stoned 
     A                              E 
And I'm sick and tired of blacking out on my carpet 
     B 
And waking up all on my own 

So I brought you home 

( E  A  B  C#m ) 
( A  C#m  B  E ) 
( E  A  B  C#m ) 
( A  C#m  B  E ) 

 

E                        A 
You started falling apart 
    B                     C#m 
6 months after you moved in 
              E                  A 
And I shoulda known from the start 
        B                    E 
That things would be different 
E                     A 
It's not something that I can fix 
   B                   C#m         B 
If I could do anything you know I would 
         E                      A 
If this fucking vacation would come to an end 
       B                     E 
Maybe then you'd be normal again 

 

A                      E 
Last week when I went back to my apartment 
B                     C#m 
 You were lookin' so stoned 
     A                       E 
The day after Christmas you acted so different 
          B 
You just wanted to be on your own 
   A                        
So I bought you medicine 
 E 
Went to the vet and 
       B                      C#m 
Cashed all of my savings and loans 
A                 B 
  But it was too late 

You were letting go 

( E  A  B ) 
( C#m  B ) 
( E  A  B ) 
( C#m  B  E ) 



A                                 
And nothing I say 
 B 
Will make it ok 
               C#m         B 
You just sleep in the heat and repeat 
                 E 
You're wasting away 

A                               B    
And nothing I do is gonna save you 
B 
I'm trying my best but you can't even 
C#m                          
Look at me or talk to me 
    B                           E 
Or tell me what's happening to you 



A                 E 
Yesterday I went back to my apartment 
    B                         C#m 
To see how you've been holding up 
     A                       E 
You hadn't been eating, I thought you were sleeping but 
B 
  You're not waking up 
   A                          E 
I want you to know thay I'd spend every bit of my 
 B                   C#m 
Pitiful savings and loans 
A                  B 
 Just to see you again 

But I know I won't
