Verse 1:
BB
I hate the radio
F#F#
Advertisements, morning show hosts
E MajorE
And every cop on the side of the road
F#F#
Everything outside the windscreen disturbs me
BB
But inside it's worse
F#F#
The thresher that we call this world
E MajorE
Reduces me to mere idle talk
F#F#
I'm slowly but certainly descending
Chorus:
G# minorG#m E MajorE F#F#
Fuck you for not being strong enough
BB Bb* G# minorG#m
For letting me bare the weight of both of us
E MajorE F#F#
I can't forever be your crutch (I can't forever be your crutch)
BB Bb* BB
Today I think I've had enough (I think I've had enough)
Verse 2:
BB
High at the airport, drunk at the beach
BB
I've been numb for weeks, I can't feel a thing
F#F#
I'll swill or smoke, I'll roll a note
F#F#
If I just swallow, I'll prevent the choke
E MajorE
So keep me up (keep me out)
E MajorE
Of this house (of this mind)
E MajorE
Cause there a'int no use in worrying all the time
F#F#
Take me back to where the flowers grow
E MajorE
To the man in the mirror that I used to know
F#F# G+G

The carousel slows, reality starts to set in
E MajorE
My friends are climbing off
How long have the horses been plastic?
F#F#
Have we been going in circles?
Was I always alone?
BB Bb majorBb
Was it their voices I heard, or was it a dial tone?
G# minorG#m
I think I've always known
But I never cared to pay heed
E MajorE
Because I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
Ready to up and leave
F#F#
At least just not like this
Cause this was our abyss
BB
I loved you all, this was our home
Bb majorBb G# minorG#m
We were together and I love it as it is
