I really wish it never came to this
G D C9
I wish it didn't feel like I was starting over again
G D C9
I'm reeling in a line without a fish, and every day
G D C9
I wake up and hear the pounding drum of failure in my head
G D C9

G D C9
Someone waiting to catch me on the other side
G D C9
Am I delaying the inevitable?
G D G
Am I running out of time?

It's better you believing I'm fighting for some greater good, I know

Will feel just right

And the heat in winter melts the skin off of my bones
G D C9
And I've started to ignore the check engine light
G D G
In hopes that a breakdown might give me a sign, oh
