Intro 

Am -- C -- Am -- C 
Am -- C -- Am -- C 


Verse: 

Am 
I just drove under the Lincoln sign 
C 
To where New Jersey meets the New York line 
G 
And through the tunnel for the last time 
F 
With everything crumbling behind 
Am 
I stood still until I felt the shakes 
C 
Of two bodies that were parting ways 
G 
I didn't want to be the one to say 
F 
I know this hurts but it's time to break 
Am G          Dm                 F  
In two pieces, the fault line is not secure 
Am              G          F              G 
A boat or bridge is needed to get back to her 


Chorus 

C                G 
I feel like I am paralyzed 
            Am           G                F 
When I look at the extra space left in my bed 

And think about all the things we did 
C                    G 
At least I'm feeling more alive 
            Am                   G                F 
But I still have some old weight that I've got to shed 

Before I find happiness 


Verse 

Am 
I make mountains out of my worries 
C 
And I plant pain instead of sturdy trees 
G 
I have got to wash these old sheets 
F 
So I can fall asleep 
Am 
There are times, there are times I reach for the phone 
C 
To tell you that there might still be some hope 
G 
Holding on to the slack of rope 
F 
But that's the whiskey talking, so 
Am G            Dm             F 
 I hope that you can find some peace in life 
Am      G 
Can you survive without me? 
       F     
'Cause I thought I'd be fine. 
G 
Now I am slurring every single line. 


Chorus 

C                G 
I feel like I am paralyzed 
            Am           G                F 
When I look at the extra space left in my bed 

And think about all the things we did 
C                    G 
At least I'm feeling more alive 
            Am                   G                F 
But I still have some old weight that I've got to shed 


Am                                         C 
I've got to move on before I can find happiness 
Am                                 C 
This isn't fair, nobody taught me (how to let go) 
Am                                        C 
'Just be here now' and you'll be set free from sorrow? 
Am                                    C 
But at this time, I don't see clearly (How will I know?)  
Am                                     C 
What is the point? What is the meaning? 


Am                          F 
Now I'm struggling, I black out so I can't dream 
      C                                 G 
But I still see you sneaking through my weary head 
  Am                           F 
I suffer from a drought of medicine to dull self-doubt 
       C                        G 
I just wanna drown you out with southern poison 
Am                         F 
If I had a drink for every Goddamn time I think 
           C 
About your pale skin dressed in pink 
        G 
Then at least I could sleep 
Am                        F 
If I had a shot for every Goddamn time I thought 
           C 
About your face and what I lost 
   G                  Am 
At least I'd get some sleep 
F      C         G                  Am 
Sleep, sleep, at least I'd get some sleep 
F      C              G                  Am 
Sleep, sleep, then at least I'd get some sleep
