Em          A
I'm hoping for
                                        Em
A song that will come to me while I'm asleep

'Cause I can't lie
   G              A  C
So I can't write~~

C             A
Eyes in the dark

And it has occurred to me
             Em                 G
That I have spent my whole life
                     A C
Starting over, oh oh

              A
Cry, pining for

The things that I could have been
              Em
I could have been a gold digger
                    G
I could have been a gunslinger
                     A
I could have been a little bigger
                    C
I could of been an old ringer

                  Em
I could've been a pop singer
                   C        G
I could've been a pop singer
                   C         D#
I could've been a pop singer

But what I am is a silence

[verse 2]
Riff plays over rest of the song. Play riff or chords. When playing the riff, you want 
to be punctuating each
 chord change with a muted strum.

Em
I crawled into a spotlight
G
Cleared my throat and I closed my eyes
A
I sang a song that I didn’t like
C
I sang a song that I didn’t like
Em
And I was left in the long night
G
I hoped to God that I wouldn’t die
A
Before I gave it an honest try
C
Now I try And I try And I try
Em
To recall a little white light
G
To put me back into my right mind
A
I dig a hole and see what I can find
C
I dig a hole and see what I can find
Em
I’ve been burying my whole life
G
Beneath the lie that it looks like
A
Beneath the song that I didn’t write
C
Beneath the song that I didn’t write

[verse 3]
Em
I crawled into a spotlight
G
And in my state I was a sorry sight
A
I sing a song til I get it right
C
I sing a song til I get it right

Em
I sing a song til I get it right
G
I sing a song til I get it right
A
I sing a song til I get it right
C
