I can't sleep, I can't close my eyes, 
A                                                                                   F#m 
Blink for one second and the whole world will pass you by 
Bm      A         D        Bm       A            E 
Yeah I guess I meant all the days I've spent 

A                                     F#m 
I can't eat, I can't use my mouth, 
A                                                                      F#m 
Miss one day and the whole world will cast you out 
Bm      A         D      Bm      A        E 
Yeah I guess I tried all the times I lied 

               D       E 
Goodbye time,  
                       A 
you ain't on my side, 
       D          E 
satisfaction  
                        A 
got too much of mine 
                 D     E 
Some girls here 
                    A 
never let me down 
            F#m                          E               A 
Oh but Main Street seems so lonely now  

                                         F#m 
I can't hear, I can't use my ears, 
A                                                                F#m 
Miss one speech and you're uninformed to tears, 
Bm     A             D         Bm        A    E 
Yeah I guess I'm scared every time I care 

A                                            F#m 
I can't breathe, I can't use my nose, 
A                                                                   F#m 
Miss one night from the stomped-on bag of blow, 
Bm     A              D         Bm      A           E 
Yeah I guess I'm wrong, I can't sing this song 

              D       E 
Goodbye time,  
                       A 
you ain't on my side, 
       D          E 
satisfaction  
                                 A 
got way too much of mine 
                 D     E 
Some girls here 
                    A 
never let me down 
      F#m                        E                 A 
But Main Street seems so lonely now  

                                             F#m 
I can't write, I can't bleed my soul, 
A                                                                     F#m 
Lose one friend and your whole mind finds its hole, 
Bm     A               D 
Yeah I guess he's gone, 
Bm   A                    D            Bm         A    D       E 
But I knew that for sure he'll speak to me again 
                                              A 
and I'll never have felt it before
