(Intro)

C E F D


I thought about
C             E                       F    -G-
Leaving but I couldn't even get outta bed
C                   E                         F     -G-
I'm hangin' cause I couldn't get a ride outta town
C              E                      F     
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
      D
Come 'round


Thought about
C             E                            F   -G-
Singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words
C              E                        F            -G-
Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart
C               E                         F           
Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about
       D
Now I'm down

      C                          G
And I wonder how I never got the burn
                      Am
And if I'm ever gonna learn
                      F
How lonely people make a life
G               D
One strain at a time


Forgot about
C              E                   F     -G-
Everything and everyone I needed before
C               E                       F   -G-
Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine
C              E                        F        D
Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time

      C                          G
And I wonder how I never got the burn
                      Am
And if I'm ever gonna learn
                      F
How lonely people make a life
G               F            D
One strain at a time and still shine

(something like)
Am       G        F      G
Am       G        F      G
Am       G        F      G
D

      C                          G
And I wonder how I never got the burn
                      Am
And if I'm ever gonna learn
                      F
How lonely people make a life
G                C                         G
All this time I wonder how I never got the burn
                      Am
And if I'm ever gonna learn
                      F 
How lonely people make their life
G               F            D
One strain at a time and still shine
