Intro: C
C
I woke up early evening and I knew I was alone
F
Did the sun come up or did it rain again, I’ll never know
G                              F                         C
I felt the acid in my stomach rise above my throat as I dialled
C
There was a message from my mother from about 7a.m.
F
said I’ve forgotten what you sound like And I’m wonderin’ how you’ve been
G                                      F
I cried myself to asleep back on the floor
                    C
Unconscious in denial
F                             G
Life is just a little part of what the world will do
Am                                      D
To get it’s point across it beats you ‘til you’re black & blue
F                                               G
And decides just when you’re in or when you’re out
                                         C
‘Cause when you’re through you’re through
C
There’s a café just ‘round the corner from the home I call a house
F
I sit and play sudoku ‘til I figure some shit out
G                                     F                                C
I drink the day’s first coffee and I smoke the last cigarette of my life
C
And I’m wondering out of all the crazy places that I’ve been
F
Would it ever be as good as sittin’ here just with a friend?
G                                     F                                C
That’s always understood it might be time, to switch the coffee to wine
F                             G
Life is just a little part of what the world will do
Am                                      D
To get it’s point across it beats you ‘til you’re black & blue
F                                               G
And decides just when you’re in or when you’re out
                                         C
‘Cause when you’re through you’re through
Yeah, Yeah.
D
Whoaaaah, Ohhhh.
F
Whoaaaaahhhhhh
G                 C
Ohhhh, Ohhh, Ohhh.
C
Janis sings to me just like she’s sitting by my side
F
And I wonder just how many times she sat like me and cried
G                                    F                              C
I’ve made it past the age of twenty-seven so there’s no use in dyin’
C
And my friends have asked the question: “Baby, will you be okay?”
F
I wanna tell them yes ‘cause I know that’s what I should say
G                                         F                                C
But I’ve got no crystal ball and I can’t bring myself to lie and watch a lie
Hey, yeahhhh - I think that…..
F                              G
Life is just a little part of what the world will do
Am                                         D
It’s brings us to the brink and beats the shit right outta you
F                                               G
And decides just when you’re in or when you’re out
                                         C
‘Cause when you’re through you’re through
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
F                              G
Life is just a little part of what the world will do
Am                                         D
It’s brings us to the brink and beats the shit right outta you
F                                               G
And decides just when you’re in or when you’re out
                                         C
‘Cause when you’re through you’re through
Ayyye, Oh.
I guess I’m through
Mmmmm
When you’re through, you’re through.
