Settle Down

G         C
I gave my things away
Em           D             C    
I called the people that I only 
       G
see on holidays
     Em                D
This next year's gonna burn a hole 
in me

           G              C
I spent my weekdays in my car
        Em                D
And the weekends drinking hard 
enough for two
  G                 C         
I think I'll settle down one of 
        Em
these days
       D
'Til I catch my breath
           G                      
I feel the weight of the world on my
C
 back
    Em              D
But I'm not feeling sick to death


[Chorus]
         G                C
'Cause I laid awake in bed and 
thought of better times
  Em                  D
I never want to sleep 'cause I found
 apathy
   G               C            Em
In laying down and never waking up
D
Never waking up


[Verse]
G           C
I learned a lot today
Em               D
'Cause there's a reason why
G                   C
I'll never live the easy way

Em               D
I'm trying to be real

G                            C
I wrote down words inside my arm
               Em          D
That say "I'll never walk alone," 
'cause I get tired
G                   C            
I know I'll have my friends in 
    Em  D
every way
     G               C
So I caught my breath
            Em           D
And for the first time I found what 
I'm looking for


[Chorus]
  G                C
I laid awake in bed and thought of 
better times
  Em                  D
I never want to sleep 'cause I found
 apathy
   G               C            Em
In laying down and never waking up
D
Never waking up

  G                C
I laid awake in bed and thought of 
better times
  Em                  D
I never want to sleep 'cause I found
 apathy
   G               C            Em
In laying down and never waking up
D
Never waking up


[Bridge]
             G
Yeah, I went down
                C
Yeah, I found a way
Em                            
In the city where my father was 
                D
born, I had a dream I moved out west
          G                        
I finally found out what I wanted 
           C
to be, so I picked up where I left
      Em                       
And I waited two more years and 
 D
covered up my ears
G
I think I'm ready to sing this time
C
(I think I'm ready to sing)
Em
I think I'm ready to sing this time
  D
I really think I'm gone


[Chorus]
  G                C
I laid awake in bed and thought of 
better times
  Em                  D
I never want to sleep 'cause I found
 apathy
   G               C            Em
In laying down and never waking up
D
Never waking up

  G                C
I laid awake in bed and thought of 
better times
  Em                  D
I never want to sleep 'cause I found
 apathy
   G               C            Em
In laying down and never waking up
D
Never waking up
