Monday I drifted away
          D                 G      D/F#
with some coffee to keep me awake
      Em                    C
and I sang to you one final time
        D                         G     D/F#
as this hopelessness shut up your eyes.
Em                      C
Tuesday I woke with the dawn
    D                       G   D/F#
and put my old wedding ring on.
          Em                  C
She said, time is a fickle mistress
        D                           G   D/F#
you can drink but you'll never fool it.

C         G
   I am invisible to you.
C            G
   All on my own, what can i do?
C               G                    D/F#
  Southbound is heaven, this city is sin.

Wednesday I hung from a tree
D                        G    D/F#
hoping that you'd notice me.
        Em                           C
And you bathed all my wounds in your tears
    D                       G   D/F#
and showered me with sympathy.
Em                       C
Thursday was harder to take
           D                      G      D/F#
with these pills piled high on my plate.
     Em                      C
So I swallowed each one in a haze
     D                      G       D/F#
in a cascade of light I was saved.

C         G
   I am invisible to you.
C         G
All on my own, what can i do?
C             G                  D6/F#
Southbound is heaven, the city is sin.

Em   C   D   G D/F#
(repeat four times)

C               G
   She says I'm sorry my darling.
C                 G
   Time stole the joy we were hiding.
C          G                      D/F#
   I am in love and this child is yours.

      Em                         C
And I don't want to live in this lie.
        D                      G
And let darkness just cover my eyes.
        Em                   C
And I'm trying to get myself clean
         D                    G        D/F#
but it's all I can do to just scream.

Em   C   D   G D/F#
