Half Life

by Too Much Joy (from the album "...finally")
NOTE:  C* is played like [x32033]
       D/F# is an open D chord with an F# in the bass
Verse:
G        D/F#  Em    C
   There is no space
G               D/F#    Em    C
   For what you need to know
G  D/F#    Em         C      G        D/F#  Em  C
   I'm the forms that I must fill out.
I'm happiest alone
I'm miserable that way
All this stuff just wants to spill out.
Pre-chorus:
C*         G    (bass: G  F#  E)
I take pleasure
Em                  A
   in the simple things
C*            G     (bass: G  F#  E)
I love my headphones
Em                   D
   and my wedding ring
Chorus: (same rhythm as verse)
G               D/F#         Em             C
Are you talking to me now or reading from a script?
G                       D/F#             Em           C
What's that supposed to mean you say you wanna be yourself?
G                 D/F#             Em                C
I don't think you really know just who the hell that is.
Em           Am
   You spend half your life
   C                                  (back to verse pattern)
pretending you're like everybody else.
(like everybody else)
Verse 2:
I tell the same joke
many different ways
but you never seem to get it.
You're jerking off
to catalogs
don't you feel a bit pathetic?

Chorus:
You spend half your life remembering your life when you were young
half your life dreaming how much better life can get
well everytime you make a choice, hey half your life is gone
All you've got's a few good dreams
divided into many small regrets.
(like everybody else)
Solo (over verse)
Verse 3:
I never take any pictures
just try to remember
all I remember is trying.
Here's a story I like
I think it happened to me
I don't even know
if I'm lying
if I'm lying
if I'm lying
Chorus:
Are you talking to me now or reading from a script?
What's that supposed to mean you say you wanna be yourself?
Well I don't think you really know just who the hell that is
No I don't think you have a clue just who the hell that is
So what's your half life?
So what's your half life?
So what's your half-life?
So what's your half life?
You spend half your life
pretending you're like everybody else.
G  D/F#  Em  C
