[Verse 1]
Am
Look at this page which I wrote yesterday
C G Dm E
Just a selfish expression of beer and depression and
Am
My insecurity so much a part of me
C G Dm E
Swells up the pages of numerous diaries
Am C
Humiliations both real and imagined
G Dm E7
All lie on this page and stare back at me mocking me
Am C
I run away from them, push them away from me
G Dm E E7
Soon and again they return to embarrass me
[Verse 2]
Am
Down comes the rain and I try to explain
C G F
The events and the places emotions and faces
Am
But sometimes the mess of my mind just depresses me
G Fmaj7 F
Where are the words that can tame this confusion
Am C
There was a time when I knew all the names
G Gm
Of the people I'd loved
Bm E
And the places I'd loved them
Am C
But those days are past and I know nothing lasts
D Dm E
Only memories that fade into memories I've made up
[Verse 3]
F#m A
Lie in my bed and stare up at the ceiling
Bm C# C#m
We live in events of a previous evening
F#m A
My poor little ego that bruises so easily
Bm C# C#m
Fighting my conscience to justify reasons
F#m A
Look in your soul, tell me what do you see?
Bm C# C#m
Can you honestly say you're completely at ease?
F#m A
Do you believe that your conscience is clean?
Bm C#
Well, I say you're a liar
[Verse 4]
Am
Down comes the rain and I sit here again
C G
With the people I've lost
Dm E
In the places I lost them
Am
A past that's made up of the real and imagined
C G F E
My only excuse was my ignorant youth
Am C
And I've lied to myself that I've grown up since then
G D
So then what's my excuse
E
For the things that I still do
Am C
Deep in my soul I admit I don't know me
G D Am
And if I've learned something
E Am
It's that I know nothing at all

The lyrics for the second and fourth verse are missing from most sites,
after a long ordeal of typing them out then finding other peoples' completely different
guesses,
I got an accurate version from the fansite Light From A Dead Star (much appreciated).
