A             E     F#m    E
 I was angry, I was sad

Just thinking about the times we had

 I felt so lost and lonely too

You lived each day like there was no tomorrow

You spent those years living on time you borrowed
    D             C#m                 F#m
And in your eyes, all I could see was sorrow
