C              Dm       E7                       E
Contrast and compare, between the busy one and ones who don't care, until 
 F                G               C
there is no one, that you really know 
C                         Dm     E7                       E
So I drift through these days of appointments and promises made
F                               G        C
They will all end up broken and quickly replaced.
C                      Dm
Weeks are slow, days drag on;
E7                        E
Even practice and parties seem long
F
But I found myself going
G                          C
I guess there's nothing to do Oh well
C                       Dm
Group of kids, line of cars,
E7                            E
More will show up after the bars close
F                           G             C
There's this boredom that drowns everything.
C                   Dm          E7                         E
Bottles break, music plays, conversations competing for space
F                         G        C
I look for a corner or a quieter room
C                        Dm
There's no heat in this house
E7                                    E
I can't breath with these words in my mouth
F                  G       C
But I'm not going to say them
C                           Dm
Yeah, I've made that mistake before
E7                                    E
On the stairs, she grabs my arm , says whats up,
F               G             C    
Where you been, is something wrong?
F                         G                C
I try to just smile, and say everything's fine.
