 G                      D
How can someone who wants to be loved
 Em                   C
hate it when they're loved at all?
 G                 D          C
Does guilt really feel that bad?
 G              D                 
Every time I take a breath, honey
Em                   C
I feel the weight fall back on me
G          D                 C
Somebody tell me it's not so bad
 C
Collected thoughts drown in sleep
 D
I had forgotten what you mean to me
 C                 D
I forgot a lot of things

                   C                          Em
What happens to the old girl, what happens to the boy?
 G                  D
I see their eyelids moving
                    C                         Em
What happens to the old boy, will he be destroyed?
 G                D
Is this what I'm losing?
 C    Em    G    D
But I feel, feel
 C    Em      G      D
But I feel something, oh it's better than nothing

 G                 D
I've been sleeping in his bed
 Em          C
I'm digging in my head
 G             D                 C
He pulls the cash from under the table
 G                   D
Take that breath and hold it in
 Em         C            G
Oh it's sidling in, he says
 D          C
It's not so bad




 C
Collected thoughts drown in sleep
 D
I had forgotten what you mean to me
 C                 D
I forgot a lot of things



                   C                          Em
What happens to the old girl, what happens to the boy?
 G                  D
I see their eyelids moving
                    C                         Em
What happens to the old boy, will he be destroyed?
 G                D
Is this what I'm losing?
 C    Em    G    D
But I feel, feel
 C    Em      G      D
But I feel something, oh it's better than nothing
