[Verse]
G D
And so she wakes up
Em C
in time to break down
G D
She left a note up on the dresser
Em C
and she's right on time
G Bm C
You don't know anything
D
right or wrong
G Bm C D
G D
I said I know
Em C
and she said so
G D
I wanna panic
Em C
yeah I've had, I go
G Bm C D
You don't owe anything to anyone
G Bm C D
C G
But don't take your life
C G
'cause it's all that you've got
Em Bm
You'd be better off just up and leaving
Am C
if you don't think they will stop
[Chorus]
G D
And when you wake up
Em C
everything is gonna be fine
G D
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
Em C
in a better time
G D
So you're tired of living
Em C
feel like you might give in
G
well don't
it's not your time
[Verse]
G D
Looking through the paper today
Em C
looking for a specific page
G D Em C
Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
G D
because when i left her alone
Em C
she made a sound, like a moan
G D Em C
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
G Bm
Fuck buying flowers for graves
C D
I'd rather buy you
G Bm C D
a one way non-stop to anywhere
G Bm
find anyone do anything
C D G
forget and start again, love
Bm C D
She said she won't go It hurts too
G
much to stand by
D Em
you've got to stop and draw a line
C
Everyone here has to choose a
G
side tonight the
D
moment of truth is haunting you
Em
Don't forget your family
C
regardless what you choose to do
G
You can't decide
D
and they're all screaming "why won't you?"
Em C
I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you
G D
I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun
Em C D
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt
[Instrumental]

G Bm C D

C D
when I learned that life goes on
G Bm
without me"
C D

G Bm
"If everyone has someone else,
C D
then I ain't got nobody's love to
G Bm
save me"
C D

G Bm
"I think I'll pass away tonight,
C D

Annie says she wouldn't mind
C D
if they never find a cure for all her
G Bm
problems
C D
Problems and she says,
G Bm
as long as she has someone near to
C D
make it clear she doesn't need to
G Bm
solve them
C D
Solve them and she says,
G Bm
"this loneliness is killing me,
C D
it's filling me with anger and
G Bm
resentment
C D
Resentment and she says,
G Bm
"I'm turning into someone that I
C D
never thought I'd have to be again"

G
And even if it was so
D
Oh I wouldn't let you go
Em C
you could run run run run but I will follow close
G D
Someday you will say "that's it, that's all"
Em C
but I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
G D
I know that you think that you're on your own
Em
but just know that I'm here
C
and I'll lead you home
G D
if you let me
Em C D
She said "forget me"
G
but I can't
