Guitar Intro

3  5  6  5      3  5   6 5  
i never thought I'd die alone 
4     4    -4    -5 4    4   -4     4
I laughed the loudest who'd have known
3   5     6    5   3   5    6  5
I traced the cord back to the wall
4    4     4  4   -5-5  5       4  -4  4 
No wonder it was never plugged in at all 
3   5   6  5     3  5 6   5
I took my time, I hurried up 
4     4     -4   -5   4  4     4     -4 4
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough 
3    5   6    5    5   6  5
I'm too depressed, to go on 
4      -4  -5 5   4   -4  4
You'll be sorry when I'm gone

Chorus
3  5  -4  5   -4   4   -4    5
I never conquered, rarely came
5  -5    5   -4    4  -4    4
16 just held such better days
5     -4  5   -4    4    -4  5 
Days when I still felt alive 
4    4 -4   -5    5  4   -4  4
We couldn't wait to get outside 
5      5   -5   5    5    5   -5  5
The world was wide, too late to try 
4    4    -4 -5 5  4 -4   4
The tour was over we'd survived
4  5 6       5   4    5 6   5 
I couldn't wait till I got home
4   4    -4  -5  5  5   4    -4 4 
To pass the time in my room alone
Verse 2
3  5  6    5     3  5 6   5
I never thought I'd die alone 
4    4    -4  -5     5   4 -4   4
Another six months I'll be unknown 
3    5   6     5   3   5   6    5
Give all my things to all my friends 
4       4     -4 -5    -5 5  4  -4   4
You'll never set foot in my room again
3       5     6   5  5      6  5 
You'll close it off, board it up 
4       4  -4    -5   -5  5  4     -4    4
Remember the time that I spilled the cup 
3   5  6    5   5   6  5
Of apple juice in the hall 
4     4      4   -4  -4  -5  5   4    -4   4
Please tell mom this is not her fault  at   all

Chorus
I never conquered, rarely came 
16 just held such better days 
Days when I still felt alive 
We couldn't wait to get outside 
The world was wide, too late to try 
The tour was over we'd survived 
I couldn't wait till I got home 
To pass the time in my room alone

Chorus
I never conquered, rarely came 
Tomorrow holds such better days 
Days when I can still feel alive 
When I can't wait to get outside 
The world is wide, the time goes by 
The tour is over, I'd survived 
I can't wait till I get home 
To pass the time in my room alone
