  			verse 1: 
          C                      G          Am    
I  saw a death at the bottom of White Hill Road 
F                      G      Am 
Careless drive for a suicide note 
     C                 G         Am 
I turned around and I closed my eye 
         F                   G    Am 
But the speeding cars never did collide 
          F                   G    C.. 
Yeah the speeding cars never did collide... 

Break:  
F, C, F, C, F, C, F 

verse 2: 
            C             G       Am 
When did I get so lost inside my head 
         F           G      Am 
Im only 22 but im going on dead 
      C                   G          Am 
So i put my faith in my grandfathers car 
F                     G           Am  
Piece by piece just lose what ive got 
      F                   G           Am    G 
Yeah piece by piece just lose all ive got 

            F        C 
Its been a bad few weeks  
     Am             G 
But im still hoping I  
             F       C 
Can get back on my feet 
        Am            G 
I just need a little time 
            F                  C   
Because my mother told me to loosen up 
           Am          G 
And stop living in my head 
            F        C             
Its been a bad few weeks 
    Am             G                 C 
So Ill just drive myself to sleep instead 

Break: 
F, C, F 


verse 3: 
           C                     G       Am 
I think I left my mind somewhere in the land 
   F                        G            Am 
I see these walls with the blood from my hand 
   C               G      Am 
I dont sleep since I got home 
           F                   G          Am 
I see the knife to take me for all that i own 
            C             G          Am 
Because I view my life through a telescope 
          F                            G     Am 
That Ive built from a bottle and a slippery slope 
        C                G       Am 
You see I cant drown to save my life 
        F                G          Am     G 
But Im holding on for a day that i might 


            F        C 
Its been a bad few weeks  
     Am             G 
But im still hoping I  
             F       C 
Can get back on my feet 
        Am            G 
I just need a little time 
            F                  C   
Because my mother told me to loosen up 
           Am          G 
And stop living in my head 
            F        C             
Its been a bad few weeks 
    Am             G                 C 
So Ill just drive myself to sleep instead 

G, Am, G, F

Bridge: 
             Am     G      C 
Because I'm always all the time 
         F         G 
Sick of trying to find 
    C                 G          F 
An answer in these darkened city bars 
        Am                  G 
In the back rooms where we lose our hope 
     C                     Am 
The drinks that turn good men to ghosts 
     F                                    G 
And yeah we're all left wondering who we are 
Am 
Whoaa

F                      G      Am    G 
Careless drive for a suicide note
