Tom: E
B F#m A E G#m
[Verse 1]
B
F#m
Settle up or settle down
A
Feeling good until it comes 'round
E
The alarm bells, hear the sound
G#m
One two there four times a hundred
B F#m
Morning fine begins to turn
A
Sour days are cinders burnin'
E
Keep you warm at least but can't
G#m
Instead spread mess with the ashes
[Chorus]
B
Thought that I'd dissolve
F#m
Thought that I'd disappear
A E G#m
But I wake up in bed the next day I'm still here
[Verse 2]
B
F#m
At times it doesn't seem so bad
A
Then bubbles up just like an effervescent flu tab
E
Nothin' I can say or do
So it seems
G#m
Too tired to see if it's true
B
F#m
My responsibility
But how to try
A
When I can't see the wood for the trees
E
Lay down on the forest floor
Take a breath
G#m
Closing eyes forever more
[Bridge]
B F#m A E G#m
[Chorus]
B
Thought that I'd dissolve
F#m
Thought that I'd disappear
A E G#m
But I wake up in bed the next day I'm still here
B
Thought that it was time
F#m
That the end was in sight
A
But wheel keeps on turning
E G#m
Beyond wrong or right
[Verse 3]
B
F#m
Living in a question mark
A
Time is stumbling in the dark
E
Waiting to complete the arc
G#m
This story blows who's the writer
B
F#m
More than just to sleep and eat
A
Again, again repeat, repeat
E
What happened to a short and sweet
G#m
This one seems will never end
[Bridge]
B F#m A E G#m
[Chorus]
B
Know I'm not the first one
F#m
To find myself here
A
It's been widely discussed
E G#m
From Thoreau to Shakespeare
B
Thought that I'd dissolve
F#m
Thought that I'd disappear
A E G#m
But I wake up in bed the next day I'm still here
