verse 1
Bm Amaj7
Can I ever get tired of asking for things
Well everybody else does
Bm Amaj7
I’m not the only one suffering
But I wish I was
Bm Amaj7
All they want is a pat on the back
For putting up with me for so long
Bm Amaj7
So many imaginary reasons
G# F#m
For treating everybody so wrong
Pre-Chorus
E F#m
Stringing them along
E
Could I have been more wrong
Chorus
B G E A
When my friends are no longer around
C D
Reality won’t hold me
B G E A
All of my buddies feel run down
C D
I’m not the man I used to be

verse 2
Bm Amaj7
Somebody please help me get a grip
Before it’s too late
Bm Amaj7
The smoke’s revealed a glimpse of the cliff
And the floor is slipping away
Bm Amaj7
And I can’t blame it on the match
Doesn’t help to act tough
Bm Amaj7
Cause there ain’t no reason to act
G# F#m
If I lose everybody I love
Pre-Chorus
E F#m
Stringing them along
E
Could I have been more wrong
Chorus
B G E A
When my friends are no longer around
C D
Reality won’t hold me
B G E A
All of my buddies feel run down
C D
I’m not the man I used to be
