C5              D5       E5                       E5
Contrast and compare, between the busy one and ones who don't care, until 
 F5                G5               C5
there is no one, that you really know 
C5                         D5     E5                       E5
So I drift through these days of appointments and promises made
F5                               G5        C5
They will all end up broken and quickly replaced.
C5                      D5
Weeks are slow, days drag on;
E5                        E5
Even practice and parties seem long
F5
But I found myself going
G5                          C5
I guess there's nothing to do Oh well
C5                       D5
Group of kids, line of cars,
E5                            E5
More will show up after the bars close
F5                           G5             C5
There's this boredom that drowns everything.
C5                   D5          E5                         E5
Bottles break, music plays, conversations competing for space
F5                         G5        C5
I look for a corner or a quieter room
C5                        D5
There's no heat in this house
E5                                    E5
I can't breath with these words in my mouth
F5                  G5       C5
But I'm not going to say them
C5                           D5
Yeah, I've made that mistake before
E5                                    E5
On the stairs, she grabs my arm , says whats up,
F5               G5             C5    
Where you been, is something wrong?
F5                         G5                C5
I try to just smile, and say everything's fine.
