C Em Am
Yesterday came and went and I wasn't present
Dm
The weeks were laid out like pavement
Work and drink and sleep, repeat
C Em Am
Upon the beaten path, I kept on my blinders
Dm
don't need any old reminders
no face, no name, no memories
Chorus:
F C
If you love it, you leave it
Dm G
'cause you hate that, you need it
F C
It's one thing, you can't have
Dm G
you're too self absorbed to change
F
always, "My way, my way, my way,..."
C Em Am Dm
C Em
Tomorrow could come and go
Am
and I'd sleep right through it
Dm
I'm not searching for self improvement
I'm sticking to the beaten path
Here and there I come across an old acquaintance
some old flame, some old burn victim
I remember I need to forget
Chorus:
Everything I ever said to you
If I could take it back,
I'd eat every word
You want to feel like all those others feel,
but you won't, and you never will
All that you love you lose
you do, you do, ....
