verse 1
Am F C walk down to Cmaj9
I couldn't fall asleep again, my breath was ash and sour
Am F C / Cmaj9
With the echoes of your rising voice that split my ears like a former lover
F G C / Cmaj9 / Am
I'm sorry if I brought you down to the place where I've been dwelling
F G Am
But I haven't learned to live without your spark
F G C and play the intro diddy
And I've got to somehow live this life I've got
verse 2
Am F C / Cmaj9
So you spit me out in a decaying world with but the faintest light to guide me
Am F C / Cmaj9
And I find and walk that path I've known to be reserved for the slowly dying
F G C / Cmaj9 / Am
Yes I know how to paint the town and carry on with women
F G Am
But if you think that's what I want oh girl you're wrong
F G C -intro-
But I guess that's just how I'm living now that you're gone
verse 3
Am F C / Cmaj9
So when I called you, you cried again and with each sob I grew bitter
Am F C / Cmaj9
And though I long to hear your sweetest voice it so shakes me I might shatter
F G C / Cmaj9 / Am
Are you trying to bring me down when I was feeling so much better
Fm G Am
Or leave me looking for your love where it is not
F G C / Cmaj9 / Am
Well I guess I'm finally learning now I guess I'm finally learning how

I guess I learned how to live with the life I've got
