Verse 1:
Dm F/D Dm F/D Gm F Gm A/Bb A
Even the sun seems to lash out in disdain, disdain
Dm F/D Dm F/D Gm D Gm A/Bb A
Another tray, drain the beans and choke the pain, the pain
Dm F/D Dm F/D Gm F Gm D Gm A/Bb A
Older eyes, tell me I should just praise, just praise
Dm F/D Dm Gm Dm Gm Dm
As they speak, 'lashes closed 'bout yesterday
Chorus:
F C A# A
Long ago I used to pray, that all this'd go away
F C A# A
And I would come back once again, and live the dreams I'd saved
F C A# A
But in my dresser there's a shirt, I just can't give away
F C G A#
So it just sits there in the dark, forever to remain
Dm Dm
A memory with a stain

You build a body, but can the soul fight to remain, remain
Dm F/D Dm F/D Gm F Gm D Gm A/Bb A
Feed the squirrels, wonder if we're just the same, the same
Dm F/D Dm Gm Dm Gm Dm
Fill the tub and spin the cycle once again
again
