Capo on 5th fret
               
 
 
F             C 
I don't understand why 
F        C    F 
Most of the time 
         E      Am       C 
I'm living my life all wrong 
F              C 
I felt nothing at all 
F           C   E 
The freedom of the fall 
             F          C   
My smile is on the backseat 
  F 
The back wall 
  
 
 
F                     Am 
Watch me as I go and separate  
 
The ones that  
 
I am made to love and hate 
 C 
And slowly counting down  
 
My body weight 
 F 
I'm tired 
  C  E  Am  C 
I'm tired 
  
 
 
F         C 
I can do things 
F      C 
No human can do 
 F        E               F 
I can doubt myself and then  
C 
I'll doubt you 
F      C   E  Am 
That's nothing new 
  
 
 
F                     Am 
Watch me as I go and separate the ones  
 
That I am made to love and hate 
C 
And slowly counting down my body weight 
F 
I'm tired 
F                     Am 
Watch me as I go and separate the ones  
 
That I am made to love and hate 
C 
And slowly counting down my body weight 
F 
I'm tired 
C    E    Am 
I'm tired 
  
 
 
 Am            C        G    F  C 
And the stars, they look like little mice 
 Am    C     G  F  C 
To me, I am my only vice 
 F           C 
Sat on a dead man's bench 
 F         C 
The sun cools my neck 
  F        E 
It covers my skin 
           Am   C 
The earth pulls me back 
 F    E  Am   C 
How 'bout that? 
  
 
 
F                     Am 
Watch me as I go and separate the ones  
 
That I am made to love and hate 
C 
And slowly counting down my body weight 
F 
I'm tired 
F                     Am 
Watch me as I go and separate the ones  
 
That I am made to love and hate 
C 
And slowly counting down my body weight 
F 
I'm tired
