Verse (0:07)
F#m
It's not that I don't love you
Or are tired of your ways
E
I want you to know
F#m
That's I'm always thinking of you
You know I'd take you with me
E
Wherever I go
Verse (0:36)
F#m
But I catch myself in the mirror
E
And I remember I gotta do something about my life
F#m
For I'm as empty as the clothes that I laid
E
Crumpled where they fell to the floor
Verse (1:04)
F#m
I'm as empty as the ten green bottles
E
Hanging in my mind from the night before
F#m
And an ashtray full of moments
E
Spent thinking about the things I should have done
Chorus (1:30)
F#m
I say goodbye to another old friend
E
Yeah they stayed through thick and thin
F#m
Through the laughter and the tears
E
Through every state that I've been in
F#m
And I know they don't wanna hurt me
E
But I can see it in their eyes
F#m
That they're killing me so gently
E
How can I ever say goodbye
Verse (2:26)
F#m
For as young me we clattered through these streets
E
And how we hit this town running
F#m
And we were so sure of being us
E
We flattened everything that stood in our path
F#m
Now I wake up and I have to find myself
E
Through all the shit that once told me who I was
Chorus (3:04)
F#m
I say goodbye to so many old friends
E
Here I left them to the wind
F#m
And there ain't much point in chasing
E
The things you can never get back again
F#m
But there's still some life in this one
E
Give me a match and I'll reminisce
F#m
Of a time when we were younger
E
And we were stealing our first crack
Verse (3:58)
F#m
And our thoughts had turned to dying
E
And we were unaware at the time
F#m
That this ride it could ever fall...
E
Could ever slow down to this time...
Verse (4:24)
F#m
For I've been drunk and stoned and feeling mellow
E
And that's how I've been getting through
F#m
Looking at the blurry shapes around me
E
Thinking I knew more than I knew
Verse (4:52)
F#m
And it's not that I don't love you
E
Or are tired of your ways
F#m
If I could only take you with me
E
If I could only ease this pain
