C        F                Am                     F                  C
 I never thought_  I'd die alone_    I laughed the lou_dest who'd have known_?
            F                Am                       F                  C
I trace the cord_ back to the wall_   No wonder it was never plugged in at all_
          F                Am                     F                    C
I took my time_, I hur_ried up_     The choice was mine_ I didn't think enough_
          F              Am                  F                 Riff2a (guitar)
I'm too depressed_, to go on_       You'll be sor_ry_ when I'm gone_

 I ne__ver con_quered, rarely came - six_teen_ just held_ such better days
C        Dm              Am                    F                C (dist.)
Days when I__ still felt alive__    We couldn't wait__ to get outside_
               Dm                 Am                 F             C
The world_ was wide_, too late_ to try_    The tour was o_ver, we'd survived

C         F                  Am                   F                C
I ne_ver_ thought_   I'd die a_lone_   Another six_ months_ I'll be unknown_
             F                Am                         F               C
Give all_ my things_ to all my friends_  You'll never set foot_ in my room again
                F              Am                 F                       C
You'll close it off_, board_ it up_   Remember the time_ that I spilled the cup_
          F              Am                     F            Riff2b (guitar)
Of apple_ juice_  in_ the hall_     Please_ tell mom_ this is not her fault
