My Life

 
C            C+            Am/C                     C+ 
Once I was a man who could stand and walk on his own 
C            C+            Am/C              C+ 
Once I was a man with a million paths I coulda chose 
F         Fm                 Emin         E7 
I used to be a man who could change my ways 
Dm          Db      G7      C 
But there's no time left to change 
C            C+            Am/C                     C+ 
Once I was a man who could get out and sit on swings 
C            C+            Am/C                     C+ 
Instead I was a man who could only swing around in his own head 
F         Fm                 Emin    E7      Dm   
Used to be a man who could find opportunity 
       Db      G7      Am   
But I never even tried to 
 

 
       Ab+      C/G       Em/G   G7/B Am   
Well I guess my parents were in the wrong 
       Ab+   C/G       Gbm7b5     F 
What was the point of all that was shed 
                   G 
If it's only over me 
            C 
Over stupid me 
 

 
C                                       Gm6/Bb   
I can feel the creep of time swallowing me 
                                      Am7   
But instead of agony, I'm filled with apathy 
      Abmaj7               Bb7 
Not a way to change it all 
     G     G7/F  G Cm7   
So I guess I'll just fall 
Abmaj7     Bb7     C 
Deep in my sleep tonight 
                               Gm6/Bb   
I can feel the tug of my past again 
                                  Am7   
But is there a point to wallowing in 
                      Abmaj7   Bb7 
My complete waste of space and time 
      G                 Cm           Abmaj7 
Not a single moment was ever sublime 
                   Bb7 
Just another lonely night 
      C 
In my life 
 

 
C            C+            Am/C                     C+ 
Once I was a man who could meet and talk to anyone 
C            C+            Am/C         Dm7   Dbmaj7 Em7   
Once I was a man who could do more than watch from afar 
          Am                 Emin    Am   
I used to be a man who could shoot a shot 
Dm          Db      G7      C 
Why did I pass that up 
C            C+            Am/C                     C+ 
Once I was a man who could stop always saying never 
C            C+            Am/C                     C+ 
Instead I'm now a man with cynicism towards everything 
F                   Fm              Emin 
And everyone in this entire abysmal world 
        E7            Dm      Db  G7   Am   
I never even dared to change 
 

 
        Ab+       C/G       Em/G   G7/B Am   
Well I guess it's me who's always in the wrong 
     Ab+      C/G     Gbm7b5 
What was the point of all that 
F 
Yearning in my heart for you 
     G          C 
For perfect you 
 

 
C                                       Gm6/Bb   
I can feel the creep of time swallowing me

But instead of agony, I'm filled with apathy 
      Abmaj7               Bb7 
Not a way to change it all

So I guess I'll just fall 
Abmaj7     Bb7     C 
Deep in my sleep tonight

Not a single moment was ever sublime

In my life 
 

Interlude 


 
Am          Em/G   
Every lonely night 
  F                 Fm   
I wonder if it's the last 
         Am            Em/G   
For this lonely little kid 
        F                Fm   
Who was caught up in the past 
Dm7          G7       Em7     Am7   
High school always goes by so fast 
Dm7      G7 
At least that's what they say 
    Em7               Am7   
But there's a huge contrast 
Fmaj7            Fm7   
When it comes to life 

                     C 
'Cause it feels like every second of my life has been 
n.c. 
Constantly getting slower 
n.c. 
But no agonizing boredom can match 
n.c. 
The tragedy of apathy 
n.c. 
There's no time left to make a change 
n.c. 
Before everything snaps and reality is no more 

N.C 
I guess I'll just fall 
n.c. 
Deep in my sleep tonight 
n.c. 
Yeah, I'm a complete and total 
                   F 
Waste of space and time 
G                    E7/Ab         Am      F 
Never was one single moment ever sublime 
                        G 
So just one last lonely night in my
