G                            C 
Half a year and here you are again 
G                         D 
I'd go out in public if nobody ever asked 
G                               C                             G        D 
I sit home and drink alone and hope that bottle speaks, like you, like us, 
     G 
like me 
G                             C 
Half a year again, now it's a whole 
G                    D 
February stationery from you on the wall 
G                                       C                             D 
And I sit home and plead the throne to speak to speak to me to me, to me,  
        C            G 
Hasn't said a single thing 
G                                  C 
You're probably too busy with your work 
G                             D 
Or am I just excusing you for leaving me alone 
G                                           C 
There' s nothing in these wooden drawers to bring you back or to keep me bored 
G                    D       C     G 
I don't know what to do with me no more 
Em   D          C           G 
Dear everyone I ever really knew 
Em      D                  C               G 
I acted like an asshole so I could keep my edge on you 
Em       D       C             G 
Ended up abusing even those I thought immune 
   C                 G                 D                G 
I killed the kingdom with one move and now it's time to move 
G    C                  G         
Dear everybody that has paid to see my band,  
G            C             D        
It's still confusing, I'll never understand 
G               C             G 
I acted like an asshole so my albums would never burn 
Em                   D             C     G 
I'm hungry now, and the scraps are dirty dirt 
Em                  D        C     G 
I'm hungry now the scraps of dirty dirt
