Bb

  So while I’m turning in my sheets,

                    F/A    Gm
and once again, I cannot sleep,

walk out the door and up the street,

                     F       D#
look at the stars beneath my feet,

remember rights that I did wrong,

           Bb
so here I go, hello, hello.

                      F/A   Gm
There is no place I cannot go,

my mind is muddy but,

                   F         D#
my heart is heavy does it show,

I lose the track that loses me,

        F  Bb
so here I go.

 

Bb                       Bb  F/A  Gm                       
   Ah uh! uh! uh! uh! uh!,            

                       F  D#

ah uh! uh! uh! uh! uh!,

                           Bb  

ah uh! uh! uh! uh! uh!.

 

Bb
And so I sent some men to fight,

                       F/A    Gm
and one came back at dead of night,

said "have you seen my enemy?"

                   F       D#
said "he looked, just like me"

so I set out to cut myself,

     Bb
and here I go.

Bb                       Bb  F/A  Gm                       
   Ah uh! uh! uh! uh! uh!,            

                       F  D#

ah uh! uh! uh! uh! uh!,

                           Bb  

ah uh! uh! uh! uh! uh!.

 

CHORUS

D#                               Bb
  I’m not calling for a second chance,

        Dm                      Gm     F   D#
I’m screaming at the top of my voice,

                     Gm
give me reason, but don’t give me choice,

           D#            F/A           Bb
cos I’ll just make, the same mistake again,
                           Bb
Ah uh! uh! uh! uh! uh!

 

     Bb
And maybe someday we will meet,

                     F/A    Gm
and maybe talk and not just speak,

don’t buy the promises cause,

                 F       D#
there are no promises I keep,

and my reflection troubles me,

    Bb
so here I go.

Bb                       Bb  F/A  Gm                       
   Ah uh! uh! uh! uh! uh!,            

                       F  D#

ah uh! uh! uh! uh! uh!,

ah uh! uh! uh! uh! uh!.
