A simple chord interpretation of the song.
(Capo 6 for original pitch) (Capo 1 or no capo work well)
Em Em
When I come home at the end of the day,
C C
everything is just where I left it
Em Em
No one has called, nothing has changed,
C C
everything is just how I left it
Em C
I haven't spoken a word in days,
G D
except for cursing the noise in the hall
Em C
I haven't spoken a word in days,
G D
to anyone else at all
Em C G D
And so, as I go, I'll leave my body for you
And so, as I go, don't feel sorry for me
For life is the sacrifice, before you die
And so as I go, I'll leave my body for you to
Em Em7 Em Em7
see
Em Em7
A bed all alone in the bedroom
Em Em7 Em
A vacant space where a table should be
Em7 Em Em7
Some posters on the walls
Em Em7 Em Em7
The bathroom mirror covered in spit
Em Em7 Em Em7 Em
I have made such desperate attempts to make this a nice place to live
Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
And I have failed, for I have tried to fill this dead empty space with a life
Em Em7 Em Em7
All this time on my hands,
Em Em7 Em Em7
And I have no where to go,
Em Em7 Em
Haunted by the distractions of living alone
(Pick high->low)
C C Em Em
C C Em D/F#
C Em C Em D/F#
I hope you'd be the first one to find me
C Em C Em D/F#
After I'd concluded the past behind me
C Em C Em D/F#
So hold your hands, over your mouth
C Em C Em D/F#
And run to tell the others
C Em
the o--others
