G Am C
If my senses fail, stay with me 'til they go
D
'Cause I don't want to be alone
G Am C
Greetings in Braille, they'll describe everything
D
Colors aren't everything
G Am C
And if you see me down at the liquor store
D
Please don't tell my dad
G Am C
And if you see my dad down at the liquor store
D G
Don't tell me anything at all
Am
And the people you brought
C D G
Are just drainpipes bringing trash to the ground
Am
And the memories are just picture cards
C D
One night stands and breakdowns
G C
And you were cold, tired and old as you'd ever looked that night
G C
And we were warned, yeah, we were warned not to stay out too late
D C D C G
But some things were worth getting in trouble for
G Am
So now that you finally failed
C D
Just like you said you would, down to the last detail
G Am C
Well, if living's such hell, here's to your dying days
D
You won't have to be afraid
G Am C
And the heroes you met were just fiction
D
Yeah, with higher expectations
G Am C
And your friends grew up faster than you got successful
D G
Told you to keep it up. Good comes to those who work
Am C
And the stories they told you were true, babe
D G
Your mom really went crazy
Am C D
But that doesn't have to be you, no
G
And I miss Tara and Melissa, Allen and John
C
And you'll never have friends like you did when you were young
G
But our bodies were pulled away and swept out to the sea
C
And I'd call and say hi if I thought you'd remember me
D C D C G
Cause some things are worth leaving old memories for
G Am C
If my senses fail, stay with me 'til they go
D
'Cause I don't want to be alone
G Am C
Greetings in Braille, should describe everything
D G
'Cause you can't see anything from here
Am C D
