verse 1
A C D
I get in from work at 2 a.m.
D A
And sit down with a beer
A C
turn on late night TV
D A
And then wonder why I'm here
A Em C
It's meaningless and trivial
D A
And it washes over me
A C
And once again I wonder
D A
Is this all there is for me
A C
Here I am again
D A
Look at me again
A G
Here I am again
D A
On my own
A C
Trying hard to see
D A
What there is for me
A C
Here I am again
D A D A
On my own
verse 2
A C
Life seens so pathetic
C D A
I wish I could leave it all behind
A C
This canvas chair, this bed,
C D A
These walls that fall in on my mind
A Em C
Hold on for something better
D A
That just drags you through the dirt
A C D
Do you just let go or carry on
D A
And try to take the hurt
A C
Here I am again
D A
Look at me again
A G
Here I am again
D A
On my own
A C
Trying hard to see
D A
What there is for me
A C
Here I am again
D A D A
On my own
