D           A       D         A
All dressed up, no place to run
   D        A        D         A
No car, no girl, no pills, no fun
Bm            A        Bm       A
Nothing to do in this empty room
        Bm     A       Bm     A
I gotta get my head together soon


D           A       D         A
Alone again, no plans, no friends
   D        A        D         A
You come around at half past ten
         Bm            A        Bm       A
You say "How are you holding up my friend?
        Bm         A            Bm     A
Are you sitting around getting drunk again?"
 
G                                   F#
And I hear the desperation of those lines
       G                    A
Wasted hours, others wasted time
Uh, yeah, I been just fine!

          D           A       D         A
Then we're out the door in an hour more
    D           A       D         A
We stumble down from the second floor
         Bm   A   Bm    A
And we're swaying, braying
    Bm          A        Bm       A
We don't know what we're saying

        D         A         D         A
And you grab my shirt, your way so curt
  D           A          D         A
I swear to God that this doesn't hurt
         Bm          A            Bm       A
When you stare like that, you put on that act
    Bm          A              Bm       A
You say something and then you take it back

      G                                   F#
And I feel as though I've done something wrong
          G                    A
Oh, how I miss you when you're gone

      D       A      D       A
And I wish I had the guts to scream
    D              A           D         A
You know, things aren't always what they seem
         Bm     A     Bm      A
When you walk away, I want to stay
       Bm       A      Bm        A
Don't leave me here to pace and pray

          D         A        D       A
All these nights I burnt, hours I turned
      D        A      D       A
You think that by now I'd learnt
            Bm     A         Bm      A
That you're only what you pretend to be
  Bm         A         Bm      A
I guess that was just lost on me

         G                                   F#
I can't stand the way you look at me in that dress
           G                       A
Oh, happy, alright I might be, I guess

If I wasn't such a mess!
