Start Jamming...
[A] And staring out into that vacuum again
From the back porch of my mind
The only [G] thing that's alive
[Bm] [E] I'm all there is
And I [A] start attacking my Vodka
Stab the ice with my straw
My eyes have turned red
I stop blind, so you see
Ready to walk, you know
[Bm] I'll call you eventually
When I wanna talk, tell them [E] you're invisible
Cause there's [F#m] this switch that [F] gets hit
And it [Bm] all stops, make [E] it stand
And in [F#m] the middle [F] of drinks
Maybe [Bm] the fifth or [E] the sixth
I'm [F#m] completely [F] alone
At [Bm] a table of friends
[E] I feel nothing for them
I feel nothing, nothing
[A] [E] [Bm] [E]

[E] [A] [Bm] [C#m] [E] [Bm]
[A] I need a break from the city [F#m] again
I think [C#m] I'll ship myself back west
I got [Bm] a friend there, she says
[E] Hey, any time
Unless [A] that offer's expired
I have been less than frequent
She's under no [C#m] obligation
To indulge every whim
And I'm [Bm] so ungrateful
I take she gives and forgives
And I keep [E] forgetting it
And [F#m] each morning [F] she wakes
With [Bm] a dream to [E] describe
Something [F#m] lovely [F] that blooms
In [Bm] her beautiful [E] mind
I [F#m] say I'll trade [F] you one
For [Bm] two nightmares of mine
[E] And somewhere I die
And somewhere we all [A] die

thinking of quitting Drinking again
I know I said that a couple times
And I'm always [G] changing my mind
[Bm] Well I guess [E] I am
But there's [A] this burn in my stomach
And there's this pain in my side
And when I kneel at the toilet
And the morning's clean light
[Bm] Pours in through the window
Sometimes I pray I don't die
I'm a [E] goddamn hypocrite
But [F#m] then night rolls [F] around
And it [Bm] all starts making [E] sense
There is [F#m] no right [F] way or wrong
Where you [B] just have [E] to live
And so I [F#m] do what [F] I do
And [Bm] at least I exist
What [E] could mean more than this
What would mean more [A] Oh
[E] [Bm] [E]
[A] Oh
[E] [Bm] Oh
