Second Life Syndrome

Am

[Verse 1]
Am
From day to day,
              A#
from hand to mouth.
A#
We’re turning around,
A#
vicious ritual.

[Verse 2]
                  Am
Getting used to it all,
                A#
falling down again.
A#
We’re waiting for,
A#                         Am
The decrees of providence.

[Verse 3]
Am
I don’t want to waste,
                    Bm
any more of my life.
           A#
Live from day to day,
                   Am
live from hand to mouth.

[Verse 4]
Am
Facing the light,
                    Bm
I brush aside your plans.
              A#
I’m going to have,
A#
it all my own way.

[Chorus]
Am                          G/C                   F
And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall,
           Am                 G/C               F
couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore.
             Am              G/C                   F
Without your help I finally started to live my own life,
                         Am
I just want you to know this time.
Am
I just want you to know this time.

[Chorus]
Am                          G/C                   F
And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall,
           Am                 G/C               F
couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore.
             Am              G/C                   F
Without your help I finally started to live my own life,
                         Am
I just want you to know this time.
Am
Go!

[Verse 5]
Am                        Csus2/G          Am Csus2/G
I just want to feel your sigh on my neck,
Am                  Csus2/G    Am                Csus2/G
want to feel your breath, feel your need to stay.
Am                     Csus2/G Am          Csus2/G
You don’t know my name, don’t know my face.
Am          Csus2/G       Am             Csus2/G
Only thoughts I share in my secret place.

[Verse 6]
Am         Csus2/G             Am      Csus2/G
Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness,
Am                   Csus2/G       Am          Csus2/G
I’ve ground to a halt, there’s no turning back.
Am            Csus2/G             Am          Csus2/G
You know there are things I just can’t forget,
Am                     Csus2/G     Am             Csus2/G
you’ve helped me so much, to learn to be detached.

[Chorus]
Am                          G/C                   F
And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall,
           Am                 G/C               F
couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore.
             Am              G/C                   F
Without your help I finally started to live my own life,
        Dm                      Am G/C F
and I know I don’t need you now.

Am         Csus2/G             Am      Csus2/G
Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness,
Am             Csus2/G           Am                Csus2/G
life is much too short to be whiled away with tears.
Am         Csus2/G             Am      Csus2/G
Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness,
Am              Csus2/G
I erase you now,
Am                   Csus2/G
I don’t need you now,
Am
I erase you now with all of my past.
