Verse 1:
F               A#             Dm
I never thought I'd die alone
              A#                         F
I laughed the loudest, who'd have known?
                A#                Dm
I trace the cord back to the wall
                  A#                      F
No wonder, it was never plugged in at all
              A#             Dm
I took my time, I hurried up
               A#                          F
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
                 A#      Dm *
I'm too depressed to go on
          A#*                 F
You'll be sorry when I'm gone

F

Chorus:
F        Gm                     Dm
I never conquered, rarely came
             A#                    F
Sixteen just held such better days
          Gm                 Dm
Days when I still felt alive
            A#              F
We couldn't wait to get outside
              Gm                    Dm
The world was wide, too late to try
             A#                  F
The tour was over, we'd survived
           Gm *             Dm *
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
            A#*                   F
To pass the time in my room alone

F

Verse 2:
F               A#             Dm
I never thought I'd die alone
            A#                      F
Another six months, I'll be unknown
            A#                Dm
Give all my things to all my friends
                  A#                    F
You'll never step foot in my room again
                   A#            Dm
You'll close it off, board it up
             A#                          F
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
              A#           Dm
Of apple juice in the hall
            A#*                 F
Please tell Mom this is not her fault

F

Chorus:
F        Gm                     Dm
I never conquered, rarely came
             A#                    F
Sixteen just held such better days
          Gm                 Dm
Days when I still felt alive
            A#              F
We couldn't wait to get outside
              Gm                    Dm
The world was wide, too late to try
         A#                  F
Tour was over, we'd survived
           Gm *             Dm *
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
            A#                    F
To pass the time in my room alone

F

Chorus:
F *      Gm *                   Dm
I never conquered, rarely came
         A#                     F
Tomorrow holds such better days
          Gm                     Dm
Days when I can still feel alive
             A#              F
When I can't wait to get outside
             Gm                     Dm
The world is wide, the time goes by
            A#                  F
The tour is over, I've survived
        Gm               Dm *
I can't wait 'til I get home
            A#*                   F
To pass the time in my room alone

F *
