Key: D5

Tuning: Standard EADGBe

Intro: G5 - D5 - A7-- x2


Verse 1:
    D5
I'm walking down in the basement
    G5
I'm leaning on the washing machine
    A5
I'm reaching back through a
                       D5
hole in the wall's insulation
    D5
I'm pulling out a 
bottle of vodka
  G5
Replacing that with a 
pint of Jim Bean
    A5
I'm lying down on the
                   D5     D(hold)
floor until I feel better


Interlude: G-D-A7--


Verse 2:
     D5
It's morning and I 
pour myself coffee
  G5
I drink it til the
kitchen stops shaking
    A5
I'm backing out of 
the driveway
            D5
And into creation
        D5
And the loving spirit
     G5
that follows me
         A5
Watching helplessly
               D5
will always forgive me


Chorus 1:
             G5
Oh I want to die alone
        D5
With my sympathy beside me
          G5
I want to bring down all
                 D5
those demons who drank with me
         A5
Feasting bleed through me
           D5
On my desperation


Verse 3:
  D5
I hide all the bottles in places
     G5
They find and confront me 
                   A5
with pain in their eyes
And I promise that I'll 
          D5
make some changes
    D5
But reaching back it 
  G5
occurs to me
           A5
There will always be some 
        D5
kind of crisis for me


Chorus 2:
             G5
Oh I want to die alone
        D5
With my sympathy beside me
          G5
I want to bring back all
those moments they
 D5
stole from me
      A5
In my reverie
          D5
Darkening days end


Guitar Solo: G5 - A5 - D5 - G5 - D5 - A7-


Chorus 3:
             G5
Oh I want to die alone
          D5
With my memories inside me
          G5
I want to live that life
When I could say
           A5 
people had faith in me
        G5
I still see that
          A5
guy in my memory


Chorus 4:
             G5
Oh I want to die alone
        D5
With my sympathy beside me
          G5
I want to bring down 
all those people 
    D5
who drank with me
         A5
Watching happily
       G5  D(hold)
My humiliation
