[Verse 1]
     F              F             Bb         F
I'm gonna lay back down before I get carried away
 C            C               Bb             F
Waking up in bed the same old motherfucking way
     Dm                 Dm                  Bb                F
I'd like to think it's soon that you'll be walking through my door
  Am                 Am             Am    Am    Bb    F F F
I guess I just don't know a god damn thing, anymore


[Verse 2]
     F           F                 Bb               F
You used to lay beside me, I could hear you softly snore
        C                 C            Bb            F
And the place you used to lie is now a picture I ignore
    Dm              Dm             Bb           F
To keep me safe and far away from demons after me
  Am             Am     Am   Am         Bb
I guess I'm just trying to keep myself clean

[Verse 3]
     F               F               Bb             F
The story bleeds and we follow like helpless herded sheep
     C            C                     Bb         F
But I'll keep my head up, oh, that's the Shepherd in me
  Dm           Dm                  Bb           F
Refusing to believe that you were just another drink
    Am            Am  Am  Am         Bb    F F F
And now I'll fall asleep, in my quarantine


[Verse 4]
    F                 F                     Bb               F
So come here darling, laugh with me, I can feel your body's cold
           C                  C                      Bb              F
There's a car that's rolling down the street warning me I'm getting old
      Dm                Dm                Bb                F
I've learned to walk a different pace new routes that I've learned
        Am                 Am        Am        Am            Bb
Just to keep my head from falling off, just to keep me from concern

[Verse 5]
F                      F               Bb             F
There's a voice, a pretty voice, that keeps me waking up
         C            C                  Bb            F
Runs the shower water over me, pours the coffee in my cup
    Dm              Dm               Bb               F
But each day as it fades away and my hair it slightly grows
   Am            Am      Am    Am             Bb  F F F
I wonder if I'll ever see just how our story goes


[Verse 6]
   F              F                  Bb            F
You call me up to cheer me up but my body's grown immune
       C            C                      Bb            F
To the face I never touched enough, to the heart I never knew
   Dm            Dm          Bb          F
My mama used to say to me, a reason lies inside
        Am               Am            Am
Well if there's a reason behind all of this
            Am              Bb     F
Then I've lost my faith in life, life
