Bb   F   C  Dm

[Verse]
                           Gm         Dm
I'm just living 'cause I'm obligated
                          Gm            Dm
I keep trying 'cause I've got to get it right
                          Gm
I pull the trigger, but I hesitate
Bb    F      C             Dm
Lying here beside myself

[Verse]
                             Gm             Dm
I go to work 'cause I've got nothing going
                         Gm                 Dm
I count the hours by the second, in my head
                          Gm
The guy beside me's gonna drive me crazy
Bb       F        C                   Dm
Talking 'bout his children like that

[Verse]
                        Gm               Dm
I read the paper on the bus I ride home
                          Gm             Dm
I see the pictures of the people who are dead
                      Gm
And I imagine what it must be like to
Bb   F         C
Just lay down all your debts

[Verse]
                  Am               Em
Everybody's gotta find a god they love
                  Am             Em
Everybody's gotta figure out the end
                           Am
No one can tell you how to live forever
    C         G           D                    Em
And who would want to, in light of all of this

[Verse]
                      Am             Em
I go to work just to avoid tomorrow
                         Am                Em
And I'm afraid that I am losing all my hair
                          Am
I told the doctor just to medicate the
C       G       D              Em
Part of me that still is here

[Verse]
                           Am                  Em
I'm drinking water with my whiskey these days
                             Am                   Em
I'm watching William beam himself around the stars
                       Am
I call my mother every second Sunday
