[Verse 1]
G       B       Em           C
 So she wakes up  in time to break down
G           B              Em
 She left a note up on the dresser,
         C             G
and she's right on time
    B          C        D              G B
You don't know anything, right or wrong
C D G           B
     I said, "I know ow ow ow"
Em              C
  And she said, "So o o o?"
G        B               Em
 I wanna panic, but I've had it,
     C
so I go o o o
G     B         C       D         G B
 "You don't owe anything to anyone
C D C              B     G   B
     But don't take your life
C                    B      G   F#
 'Cause it's all that you've got
Em                         B                     C
  You'd be better off just up and leaving if you don't
                Cm
think they will stop"

[Chorus]
G                  D
 "And when you wake up
Em                         C D
Everything is gonna be fine
G                   D
 Guarantee that you wake in a better place
Em                C D
  In a better time
G                     D
 So you're tired of living?
Em                  C       D
Feel like you might give in?
     G
Well don't
D Em C     D        G    B
      It's not your time"

[Verse 2]
G                    B
 Lookin' through the paper today
Em              C
  Lookin' for a specific page
G            B        Em        C
 Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
G              B
 'Cause when I left her alone
C           D                G
 She made a sound like a moan
        B        C            D                 G
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
            B
Fuck buyin' flowers for graves
C           D         G   B   C       D
 I'd rather buy you a one way non stop
            G            B           C
To anywhere, find anyone, do anything
           D      G         B
Forget and start again, love
             C       D
She says she won't go

[Break]
             G
It hurts too much to stand by
D                             Em
 You've gotta stop and draw a line
C             D               G
Everyone here has to choose a side tonight
    D
The moment of truth is haunting you
Em                           C                 D
  Don't forget your family regardless what you choose to do
G
 You can't decide
    D
And they're all screaming,
"Why won't you?"
Em
  I'll start the engine,
    C                 D
but I can't take this ride for you
G
 I'll draw your bath,
         D
and I'll load your gun
      Em                      C         D
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt

Annie's tired of forgettin' 'bout today and always plannin'
      G     B
for tomorrow
  C         D
Tomorrow, Annie says
     G             B               C                   D
"The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life
            G      B
goes on without me"
    C          D
Without me, and I said
    G            B
"If everyone has someone else, well,
C             D              G       B
I ain't got nobody's love to save me"
   C           D
To save me, and she said
   G                B
"I think I'll pass away tonight,
          C                D
'cause it seems I'll never get it right,
     G       B
it's just me"
C           D
Just me, and I said

Annie said she wouldn't mind if they never find a cure to
        G       B
all her problems
C            D
Problems, and she said
    G               B               C
"As long as she has someone near to make it clear she
D               G          B
doesn't need to solve them"
C              D
Solve them, and she said
          G             B
"Oh, this loneliness is killing me,
     C               D           G        B
it's filling me with anger and resentment"
  C            D
Resentment, and she said
     G            B              C                 D
"I'm turning into someone that I never thought I'd have to
    G    B C D
be again"

Tomorrow, and she said

"I think I'll pass away tonight,
          C                D

[Outro]

 "And even if it was so,
D
 I wouldn't let you go
Em                  C
You can run run run run,
           D
but I will follow close"
G                            D
 Someday, you'll say "that's it,
that's all"
    Em                              C                 D
But I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
  G                               D
I know that you think that you're on your own
         Em
But just know that I'm here,
         C        D           G
and I'll lead you home if you let me
D              Em      C D     G
 She said, "Forget me,"  but I can't
