A Asus4 A Asus4 F#m D x2

Verse:
            A
Itʼs been a long day, living with this
            F#m    E        D
Itʼs been a long time since I felt so sick
         A
I took a long walk straight back home
             F#m    E        D
I could have walked back to San Francisco

          A
I used to long for a time alone
          F#m       E      D
I used to long for a place of my own
          A
And Iʼm losing faith in everything
          F#m      E        D
Iʼm lost, so lost, Iʼm lost at sea, you see

A Asus4 A Asus4 F#m D x2

Verse:
            A
I used to long for broken bones
            F#m    E        D
I used to long for a casket to call my own
            A
I never had a problem facing fear
            F#m    E        D
But Iʼm done, over and out, my dear

Chorus:
F#m     D
And oh, mercy me
A         E
God bless catastrophe
F#m        D
Thereʼs no way in hell
A                   E
Youʼll ever live to see through this so
F#m       E      D
Drive yourself insane tonight
F#m      E    D
Itʼs not that far away
      F#m            E         D          A
And I just filled up your tank earlier today
Yeah...
