   Am                                     C
Looking back across the years through a million unshed tears
   Dm                       Am
How could I have held them all?
   Am                                      C
Oh the price that I have paid for all the love I never made
   Dm                   Am
Someone wrote up on the wall:

C    C/B          Am
"How mighty is my pen...

C           C/B            Am
if this is everywhere it's been?"

Dm                                 Am
Yes the wine's delicious, but I'm needing something stronger

Dm                             Am
I'm growing suspicious that I won't be here much longer

C               C/B       Am
Feels like I'm going down again. 
C               C/B          Am
Feels like I've lost my only friend

  Am                                        C
Crawling home from some saloon and all my strings are out of tune
  Dm                         Am
No one's around to break my fall
  Am                         C
No attempt was ever made, so I slowly decayed
  Dm                               Am
Have a little faith in me, that's all
  C   C/B         Am   C           C/B             Am   
"How mighty am I then, if this is everywhere I've been
  Dm                                  Am
And as the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
  Dm                                Am
I will disintegrate until there's nothing left at all
  C             C/B        Am     C              C/B            Am
Feels like I'm going down again. Feels like I've lost my only friend

                                G5
And I never thought I'd see the day

F5              D5              G5
My heroes all became psychotics
   F5           D5              G5
My drugs are all expensive exotics
   F5                   D5      G5
My blood is thick with antibiotics
     F5                D5               G5
So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right
F5               D5             G5
Take no blame so I can sleep so tight
              F5             D5                 
You know that out of mind is also out of sight

Dm                              Am
As the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall
Dm                                   Am
I pass the closed apartment doors in rows along the hall
C               C/B        Am
Feels like I'm going down again. 
C               C/B           Am
Feels like I've lost my only friend
