Intro
Em G
I’m sitting here at my piano
D A A7
Wasting time, waiting for the day that I die
Em G
I know that I ain’t nothing special
D A A7
Just sitting here contributing to nothing essential
Em G
Why don’t I understand that I won’t be the man
D A A7
To cure diseases or paint Mona Lisas
Em G
I’m all alone in this world
D A A7
I’m a burden on the things that go on every single day
Em G
And I think, maybe I should just kill myself
D A A7
End it all in the blink of an eye
Em G D A A6
Maybe I should just end my life and say goodbye

As these months turn into years

I guess we’ll never know
