Intro: C Em G Em
C G Em A
I remember giving up the gory details
C G Em A
And it left me tongue-tied (such and elementary sickness)
C G A Em
Now I don't want to think and I don't want to feel
C G A Em
I wasn't aware this was part of the deal
C G Em A
When I put my finger on a greater expectation
C G Em A
But just my luck, I lack the patience of a statesman
C G A Em
And all of my language will fail to convey
C G A Em
That I'm terribly twisted around what I say
C G A
And the message that I threw away
C G Em
I don't have it now
C G Em
I don't have it now
C G Em
I don't have it now
C G Em
I don't have it now
So I keep hiding and it only grows to hurt me
But time is wasting and I'm watching it desert me
I'm digging a hole and I'm making it deep
And I'm starting to question the hours I keep
And the answer that I put to sleep
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
And so I'm writing with the hope that someone's reading
For all too likely runs the risk of me repeating
But I don't have the guts to prevent the decay
And I'm terribly twisted around what I say
And the courage that I threw away
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
C G Em
I don't have it now
C G Em
I don't have it now
C G A
I don't have it now
C G Bb C G
I don't have it now
