don't stress about the bridge. And, of course, skip the weird bits
if you play the 7-minute version with the extra verse.
/*==================================|Chords|==================================*
Intro:
Section A:
As I try to fill all of my empty days,
I stumble 'round on through my memory's maze.
Of all my past, only the sadness stays.
Section B:
I went moping down by the bridge.
I rode a bike in the snow to the mini-mart.
I thought of the ways that I had broke my own heart.
Section A:
Well it's not for me to fill the blue sea with tears,
but when I think back on all the wasted years,
all the good cheer and all of the charm disappears.
Instrumental bridge:
Section B:
I wore the exact same clothes for five days.
The bailbondsman gave me a smile.
I was just thinking of only my sins all the while.
Section A:
As I try to fill all of my empty days,
I stumble 'round on through my memory's maze.
Of all my past, only the sadness stays.
