C    G    Am   G

C                               G            Am      G
You pick me up in the morning light
C                              G             Am       G
With a heavy head and sallow eyes
C                          G                 Am        G
A ball of flesh and heavy bone
C                             G              Am        G
Known better days are kinda sore

C                           G                Am         G
I used to dream of leaving here
C                          G                 Am         G
Now I just sleep away the fear
C                               G            Am         G
But nothing much ever came from me
C                     G                      Am         G
A sack of empty promises

F
And if all these selfish thoughts would please just stop

C    G    Am    G

C                                          G      Am       G
Sometimes do you wish you could watch it burn?
C                                          G      Am       G
Your life you've built and the things you own
C                               G                 Am       G
How I dreamt of her again last night
C                                 G               Am       G
And how I could put the past to right

F                                                       C    G    Am    G
And if all these selfish thoughts would all just stop

F                                                       C    G    Am    G
And leave a little room for someone else

F                                                       C    G    Am    G
When all that it would help will fall behind

C                           G                     Am    G
I used to dream of leaving here
C                                      G          Am    G
But the roots that bind were mine to grow
