Tom: D

INTRO:
NONE


VERSE:
              D
Do you spend your days in misery? You cry yourself to sleep?
        Bm
Are you understanding anything, what any of this means?
          A
Have you longed for something more? You just couldn't seem to reach.
          G
Are you chewing on your lips? Has your frustration reached its peak?

         D
Are the words you meant to say, simply drowning in your teeth?
          Bm
Has your liver suffered more, than you could ever even think?
         A
Are you lost here in translation? Have you lost your nerve to speak?
         G (single strum - let ring - then N.C.)
Are you passed out in the parking lot? Falling fast asleep


PD-C HORUS:
      A     Bm       G
All alone, right at home
      A          Bm           G           G
All alone, this disconnected comfort-zone


VERSE:
           D
Whats the first you were thinking? Was there something in the fog?
          Bm
Did your fingers start to tingle? Did you feel a thing at all?
         A
Are you deep inside your thoughts, lost in seasoned wonderous dreams
          G
Are you spinning as you sit? And have the walls begun to squeeze?

       D
Everybody says right now, you're on the outside lookin' in.
           Bm
But never second guess whats really at the root of all of it
                A
These songs we sung and we have written

Songs we'll sing and we might be
        G (single strum - let ring - then N.C.)
All confessions leaving breathless, less for everyone to see


PD-C HORUS:
      A     Bm       G
All alone, right at home
      A          Bm           G           G
All alone, this disconnected comfort-zone


CHORUS:
G
To feel alive, just one more time,
        D                      A
Yeah, choke down your pride, chase down you mind,
 Bm                                G (single strum - let ring - then N.C.)
Bring yourself to understand and - 1,2,3,4 - do it again, yeah
  D               A
Swallow it down, just don't look down
             Bm                  G                      D
Well it's a long way down and an even longer crawl back up!

VERSE:
            D
Whats the last thing you remember, whats the first thing you recall?
         Bm
Drifting in and out of consciousness, just one more time - thats all.
            A
And did you ever really think, that this Wwas where you would end up?
        G
Can you understand go wrap your head around thats just your blood

Ah, just shut up!

        D
You're just feeling sorry for yourself? Just suck it up.
             Bm
And let the bubbles freeze your brain, take your medicine.
             A
You'll feel better in morning. What's the last thing you recall?
       G (single strum - let ring - then N.C.)
Not a single fucking thing, not a single thing that's all.
