Lyrics

[Intro]

| A | - | F#m |

[Verse 1]
D            A
 It's been a long day, living with this
            F#m               D
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
         A
I took a long walk straight back home
           F#m                D
I could of walked back to San Francisco
          A
I used to long for time alone
          F#m              D
I used to long for a place of my own
       A
And I'm losing faith in everything
    F#m               D
I'm lost so lost, I'm lost at sea,
    A
you see

[Bridge]
F#m D A F#m
D          A
 I used to long for broken bones

[Verse 2]
          F#m                  D
I used to long for a casket to call my own
       A
I never had a problem facing fear
        F#m                D
But I'm done, over and out, my dear

[Chorus]
    F#m         D
And oh, mercy me
    A                E
God bless catastrophe
        F#m           D
There's no way in hell
       A               E
You'll ever live to see through this so
F#m       E      D
Drive yourself insane tonight
    F#m      E       D
Its not that far away
           F#m       E         D       E    A
And I just filled up your tank earlier today
    D
Yeah

[Verse 3]

And I'm losing faith in everything

I'm fucked without you
