INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
       D
Do you spend your days in misery? You cry yourself to sleep?

    Bm
Are you understanding anything, what any of this means?

     A
Have you longed for something more? You just couldn`t seem to reach.

     G
Are you chewing on your lips? Has your frustration reached its peak?


     D
Are the words you meant to say, simply drowning in your teeth?

     Bm
Has your liver suffered more, than you could ever even think?

     A
Are you lost here in translation? Have you lost your nerve to speak?

     G (single strum - let ring - then N.C.)
Are you passed out in the parking lot? Falling fast asleep


PRE-CHORUS:
   A   Bm    G
All alone, right at home

   A     Bm      G      G
All alone, this disconnected comfort-zone



VERSE:
      D
Whats the first you were thinking? Was there something in the fog?

     Bm
Did your fingers start to tingle? Did you feel a thing at all?

     A
Are you deep inside your thoughts, lost in seasoned wonderous dreams

     G
Are you spinning as you sit? And have the walls begun to squeeze?


    D
Everybody says right now, you`re on the outside lookin` in.

      Bm
But never second guess whats really at the root of all of it

        A
These songs we sung and we have written


Songs we`ll sing and we might be
    G (single strum - let ring - then N.C.)
All confessions leaving breathless, less for everyone to see


PRE-CHORUS:
   A   Bm    G
All alone, right at home

   A     Bm      G      G
All alone, this disconnected comfort-zone



CHORUS:
G
To feel alive, just one more time,

    D           A
Yeah, choke down your pride, chase down you mind,

 Bm                G (single strum - let ring - then N.C.)
Bring yourself to understand and - 1,2,3,4 - do it again, yeah
 D        A
Swallow it down, just don`t look down

       Bm         G           D
Well it`s a long way down and an even longer crawl back up!



INSTRUMENTAL:
D A Bm G
D A Bm G


VERSE:
      D
Whats the last thing you remember, whats the first thing you recall?

     Bm
Drifting in and out of consciousness, just one more time - thats all.

      A
And did you ever really think, that this Wwas where you would end up?

    G
Can you understand go wrap your head around thats just your blood


Ah, just shut up!

    D
You`re just feeling sorry for yourself? Just suck it up.

       Bm
And let the bubbles freeze your brain, take your medicine.

       A
You`ll feel better in morning. What`s the last thing you recall?

    G (single strum - let ring - then N.C.)
Not a single fucking thing, not a single thing that`s all.


PRE-CHORUS:
   A   Bm    G
