  			Intro: Am G F Dm F 
 
C        F     
I never thought 
         Am 
I'd die alone  
               F 
I laughed the loudest  
            C   
who'd have known? 
              F 
I traced the cord back  
       Am 
to the wall  
 
No wonder it was  
F                    C 
never plugged in at all 
           F    
I took my time, I 
        Am 
hurried up  
                F 
The choice was mine, 
                 C 
I didn't think enough  
            F 
I'm too depressed  
      Am 
to go on 
            F  
You'll be sorry when  
     C 
I'm gone 
 
(C Dm Am F) 2x          
                         R
C          Dm          E  
I never conquered,       F 
        Am             R 
rarely came              Ã 
          F            o 
16 just held such 
        C 
better days 
              Dm  
Days when I still felt 
 Am 
alive  
             F 
We couldn't wait to 
       C 
get outside 
               Dm 
The world was wide,  
         Am  
too late to try  
              F 
The tour was over, 
      C 
we'd survived  
             Dm    
I couldn't wait till 
  Am 
I got home 
              F 
To pass the time in my  
 
(INTRO) 
room alone 
C         F 
I never thought  
         Am 
I'd die alone  
             F 
Another six months  
           C 
I'll be unknown 
            F          
Give all my things to  
        Am 
All my friends 
                   F 
You'll never set foot  
             C 
in my room again 
                 F 
You'll close it off, 
         Am 
board it up  
              F 
Remember the time that 
               C  
I spilled the cup 
           F  
Of apple juice in the  
Am 
hall  
             F 
Please tell mom this is  
         C 
not her fault 
(C Dm Am F) 2x 
(Refrão)
