Capo: 1st Fret
Verse/Chorus
(Alternate these chord lines, listen to the track for help, usually plays the
first line during vocal lines and the second line between vocal lines.)
::Verse 1::
Poor boy
Why don't you try getting water?
Poor boy
Why don't you try getting sleep?
I think
if one of us is going to suffer
j7
Why shouldn't it be me?
::Verse 2::
Poor boy
Your wife is in hard labor
The rhythm you know
Is pulsing and drifting to the grave
When you come to
You'll be asking yourself just one question
j7
Was I always this way?
j7
Was I always this way?
::Verse 3::
Think back a year
When everything stood at the surface
But bandage your cuts
cause you don't know what swims underneath
Hold tight
The bondage of this life is slipping
j7
Why shouldn't it be me?
j7
Why shouldn't it be me?
::Bridge::
When I come back
You'll be the brightest star
In the black
When there are days
That you want the call we're all waiting for
Think back
::Final Verse::
Poor boy
Your wife is in hard labor
Go buy
the flowers you'll leave on its grave
You went with the goal
of movement, Now one thing is different:
j7
You don't want to change.
j7
I don't want to change
