[F] Life can be so temporary I lost myself today, it's scary
Lately you've been on my mind Someone take this pen and I'll go blind
[Fm] I wanna know why you had to leave so soon Keep reading through [C] the messages I [G]
always do
[Ab] I still question if I ever could have pulled you through I'm trying not to [Cm] follow suit
[Eb] I promise it's killing me slowly [F] So many friends and I'm lonely
Nothing is right, there's [C] never a night That I [F] do nothing but I smoke in
Up on the top of the townhouse Flying so high but I'm down now
I don't want no one around now All of these tears and me drowned out
The hearse is when it hurt like I knew you were right
