What A Shame

F  Bb

[Verse 1]
         F
I'm in a box above the sky
      Bb
Over mountains, rivers, and potted 
plants
     F                    Bb
And I imagined jumping and it didn't
 feel bad
F                    Bb
When I drive my car I imagine the 
crash
F                Bb
How would it feel, would I last?

Eb          Bb                    
I wanted to sing these words for so 
F
long
Eb        Bb           F
Put them in a poem and play this 
song
C            Bb                F
But how it'd kill my mother to think
 she did me wrong
Eb        Bb         F
Don't you worry it's just a song

                         Bb
I'm in a 7-Eleven by the detergent 
and first-aid kits
        F
I see a man walk in and think

Bb
He could be the one to end all this
         F                         
He could hold my life in his hands 
     Bb
and choose it's had enough
         F                     
Would he know that I never have 
 Bb
fallen in love?

Eb    Bb  F
If I went today
Eb         Bb                     
I'd have a laundry list of things 
F
I'm too afraid to say
C              Bb           F
I'd take them with me to by brand 
new grave
Eb Bb      F
Oh, what a shame
Eb Bb      F      Eb Bb   F
Oh, what a shame

C            Bb           F
Well it's a dark place to stand
C            Bb        F        
Dreaming of death and holding 
         Eb  Bb  F
it's hand

    F
I'm six years old again
      Bb
In a princess dress my mother made
        F
Running through a backyard maze
        Bb
Getting that white dress all 
grass-stained
        F
When I fall I get back up
         Bb
When I'm hurtin', I cry it away
F                      Bb
When did it get so hard to say what 
I want to say

Eb     Bb       F
When I meet the end
Eb         Bb          F
Sooner or later, it'll come I'm sure
 of it
C          Bb        F
Watch the credits on my young life
C           Bb   F
Did I live like I could never die?
C       Bb    F
Waiting for a better time
C       Bb    F                 
Waiting for a different life
Eb  Bb  F

Eb  Bb      F
Oh, what a shame
Eb  Bb      F    Eb  Bb  F
Oh, what a shame
