D5
I think I tried to wake up too fast
                           B5
From what must have been a two year nap
       G5                       A5                 D5
Then I hit my head and it was back to bed for a while

I woke up twenty-four in Texas
            B5
Breaking a sweat to expand my Nexus
          G5                      A5
When it occurred to me, maybe I shouldn't be
         D5
Making excuses to cope so liberally

They say some things just don't wash out
                             B5
But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about
          G5
And now years have gone by
          A5
But it's still stuck in my mind
D5
Some things just don't wash out
D5
For too long now I've sung the same sad song
        B5
But I didn't even write it; I was just singing along
          G5                         A5
But the problem with change is it's hard
                        D5
Like finding lively conversation in graveyards

I hit the nail on the head, drove it straight through my hand
         B5
I have martyred myself in a scheme not so grand
        G5                     A5
More deserving of men left to rot in a rag
              D5
Haven't done shit with my life and my skin is starting to sag
G5
You drink too much, your mind's unfit
      A5
You really can't afford to live like this
             G5
You're only almost there, but still so far
A5
Everyone? Everyone!

                        Eb5
Weak sister, close your eyes
Eb5                             D#4
Lay your burdens down and fall asleep
              Eb5        D5   Eb5
Life starts again tomorrow
D5            Eb5   Eb5
You need this, you want that
                    D#4
You're better off alone
             Eb5            A5
You need this, you want that
Eb5            D5
You've gotta dig
        Eb5     Eb5
You've got to dig
             D#4
You've gotta dig
               Eb5    Eb5
You've got to dig
