   Am					  C
Looking back across the years through a million unshed tears
   Dm			    Am
How could I have held them all?
   Am					   C
Oh the price that I have paid for all the love I never made
   Dm			Am
Someone wrote up on the wall:

C    C/B	  Am
"How mighty is my pen...

C	    C/B		   Am
if this is everywhere it's been?"

Dm				   Am
Yes the wine's delicious, but I'm needing something stronger

Dm			       Am
I'm growing suspicious that I won't be here much longer

C		C/B	  Am
Feels like I'm going down again. 
C		C/B	     Am
Feels like I've lost my only friend

Crawling home from some saloon and all my strings are out of tune
  Dm			     Am
No one's around to break my fall

No attempt was ever made, so I slowly decayed

Have a little faith in me, that's all

"How mighty am I then, if this is everywhere I've been

I will disintegrate until there's nothing left at all

				G5
And I never thought I'd see the day

F5		D5		G5
My heroes all became psychotics
   F5		D5		G5
My drugs are all expensive exotics
   F5			D5	G5
My blood is thick with antibiotics
     F5		       D5		G5
So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right
F5		 D5		G5
Take no blame so I can sleep so tight
	      F5	     D5		  	
You know that out of mind is also out of sight

C C/B Am (x2)

I pass the closed apartment doors in rows along the hall
