  I'd die alone
Am              F
  I laughed the loudest
who'd have known?
C              F
  I traced the cord
back to the wall
Am                 F
  No wonder it was never
plugged in at all
C
  I took my time
F
  I hurried up
Am               F
  The choice was mine
I didn't think enough
C
  I'm too depressed
F       Am
  to go on You'll
   F
be sorry when
    C   Dm Am F C Dm Am F
I'm gone


Refrain 1:
C         Dm
  I never conquered
       Am
rarely came
             F
Sixteen just held
such better days
C           Dm
  Days when I still
      Am
felt alive
            F
We couldn't wait
to get out..


Chorus 1:
   C
...side The world was
Dm               Am
wide too late to try
             F
The tour was over
        C
we'd survived
           Dm
I couldn't wait
           Am
till I got home
            F
To pass the time
in my room alone

Verse 2:
C         F
  I never thought
         Am
I'd die alone
            F
Another six months
I'll be unknown
C             F
  Give all my things
          Am
to all my friends
                  F
You'll never step foot
in my room again
C
  You'll close it
F            Am
off board it up
             F
Remember the time that
I spilled the cup
C          F
  Of apple juice
       Am
in the hall
            F
Please tell mom this

is not her fault

But tomorrow holds

  Days when I can
            Am
still feel alive
When I can't
F
wait to get out...
