E5 :022000
G5 : 320033
C5 :332010
G5 :554030
Intro: E5 , G5 , C5 , G5 (x2)
E5 G5 C5
Do I have nothing good left to say
G5 E5
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints
G5 C5
People love to drink their troubles away
G5
Sometimes I feel that I?d be better off that way
E5 G5 C5
Cause maybe then I could sleep at night
G5 E5
I wouldn?t lie awake until the morning light
G5 C5
This is something that I?ll never control
G5
My nerves will be the death of me I know
E5 G5
I know
C5 G5
I know
E5 G5 C5
So here?s to living life miserable
G5 E5
And here?s to all the lonely stories that I?ve told
G5 C5
Maybe drinking wine would validate my sorrow
G5
Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle
E5 G5 C5
Maybe then I could sleep at night
G5 E5
I wouldn?t lie awake until the morning light
G5 C5
This is something that I?ll never control
G5
My nerves will be the death of me I know
C5 G5 E5
Finally I could hope for a better day
C5 G5 E5
No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind
C5 G5 E5
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn?t seem so heavy
C5 (stop) G5 (stop) E5
But then again I?ll probably always feel this way
G5 C5
At least I know I?ll never sleep at night
G5 E5
I?ll always lie awake until the morning light
G5 C5
This is something that I?ll never control
G5 E5
My nerves will be the death of me
G5 C5
My nerves will be the death of me
G5 (stop)
My nerves will be the death of me
C5 G5 E5 (slow Strum )
I know

Verse:
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
There's a funeral procession on the highway,
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
Traffic screeches to a halt.
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
There's people searching for a better way,
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
To live their lives.
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
In the middle of the night.
[Chorus:]
E5 C5
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
G5 D5
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
E5 C5
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
G5 D5
While their souls are still searching for the light,
(BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
Searching for the light.
Verse:
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
So please don't come to me on my dying day,
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
Just let me go in peace.
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
With all the things that I forgot to say,
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
Still racing through my mind.
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
Just burn my body in a box.
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
G5 D5 D5 E5 C5
Out into the night.... sky.
Chorus:
E5 C5
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
G5 D5
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
E5 C5
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
G5 D5
While their souls are still searching for the light,
(BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
Searching for the light.

Sleeping Sickness
Capo 4
E5
I awoke
C5 G5
Only to find my lungs empty
E5
And through the night
C5 G5
So it seems I'm not breathing
E5 C5 G5
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
E5 C5 G5
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down
E5
And I'm afraid
C5 G5
To sleep because of what haunts me
E5
Such as living with the uncertainty
C5 G5
That I'll never find the words to say
E5 C5 G5
Which would completely explain
E5 C5 G5
Just how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
D5 E5 C5
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
D5 E5 C5
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
D5 E5 C5
But now it's like the night is taking sides
D5 E5 C5
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
D5 E5 C5
Could it be this misery will suffice?
E5
I've become
C5 G5
A simple souvenir of someone's kill
E5
And like the sea
C5 G5
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
E5 C5 G5
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
E5
oh, how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
oooohhh my life
D5 E5 C5
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
D5 E5 C5
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
D5 E5 C5
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
D5 E5 C5
Could it be this misery will suffice?

Against the Grain
Capo: 4th fret
C/G (332010) - Am (x02210) - G (320003) - F7M (133210)
C5 A5
you need not to climb mountaintops
G5 F5 etc.
you need not to cross the sea
you need not to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak
you need not to reach for the stars
when life becomes so dark
C5 A5
and when the wind does blow against the grain
G5 F5
you must follow your heart
G5 C5 etc.
you must follow your heart
and all your friends
have come and gone
and the sun no longer shines
and the happiness for which you long
is washed away like an ocean's tide
when all the hard times outweigh the good
and all your words are misunderstood
when the day seems lost from the start
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart
if you feel you've paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal
and everything you love in life
spins like a winding wheel
if you should wake to find you're abandoned
and the road you travel leads to a dead end
when death creeps in to play its part
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

I get so distracted
E5 D5 C5
By some peoples reactions
E5 D5 C5
That I don't see my own faults
E5 D5 C5
For what they are
E5 D5 C5
For what they are
E5 D5 C5
At times so self destructive
E5 D5 C5
With no intent or motive
E5 D5 C5
But behind this emotion,
E5 D5 C5
There lies a sensible heart
E5 D5 C5
A sensible heart
E5 D5
See I'm no king
C5
I wear no crown
E5 D5
But desperate times
C5
Seem over now
E5 D5 C5
But still I weaken somehow
E5 D5 C5
It tears me apart
E5 D5 C5
It tears me apart
E5 D5 C5
I hope to learn as time goes by
E5 D5 C5
That I should trust what's deep inside
E5 D5 C5
Burning bright, oh burning bright
E5 D5 C5
My sensible heart
E5 D5 C5
My sensible heart
E5 D5 C5
My sensible heart
E5 D5 C5
My sensible heart
