[Verse 1]
[A5]God [Bb]knows[B5] I've [B]lon[Bb]ged to feel
[B5]something [G5]but [Bb]now's not the time.

[G]order [G5]of a[Bb] Friday ni[Eb]ght.[Am][A5][Am]
[A5]Fo c[B]used o[B5]n sta[Bb]ying distracte[G]d[G5]
[Bb]until I lose [Am]sight [Bb]of the [B5]tiresome
an[Bb]d clinical [G5]pat t[Bb]erns of my l[Am]ife.

of my night. The rest of my [Bb]night.
[B5]One day

[Verse 2]
I [Bb]will find myself [B5]facing
[G]the [Bb]fir [Am]ing l[A5]ine.

[Eb]Just[Am] put me down[Bb].[Am][Bb]
[Am]Can't sidestep

[Verse 4]
the long arm for too
long with this paper trail.
I've let them devour my heart
for some mater[Eb]i al[Am].

I ought to change my [Eb]ways.[Bb][Am]
Face the music. Carry the can.
Etcetera. Etceter[E5]a.
