quickly switching to the next chord in the next bar - almost
like you're performing a pull off, but actually strumming the
chord again.
well, i'm trying to be patient
yeah, the wheels keep turnin' 'round
but it's a treadmill and i'm just
dragging my feet. i'm so tired
of everything-defeated by routine-
by words that don't mean anything to me
at least not anymore, now that
i'm done with the mourning of a
day without ending. a year of
decadance to escape from penance
but i suffered and i'm over it
yeah i'm fine now, but i'm sick of it
i was happy being miserable
>
i used to lay down my head at the bar > Strum these notes slowly
> from the bass to high, and
and raise one lonely finger for a drink > let the notes ring out.
it doesn't have to be so difficult
just keep coasting by. so you lost a limb
well hell, those wounds will heal with time
(but what happens when you loved what you lost?)
you didn't have to cut it off
but you did and i do and it took
everything i had. i wonder if i could
ever get it back to how it was,
when i still thought of love as a
risk i could take-if i was willing
to make the commitment to rejection
the mind games, the deception
the late nights under the covers
>
pointing the finger at who ever started >
>
whatever we were fighting about >
i guess that i'm fine now
yeah, everything's better
everything's cooled down-it's all copasetic
we'll move on, off to a better world
to a fresh start where everything's possible...
but i'm sick of it
yeah, i'm sick of it
no-i'm sick of it
yeah, i'm sick of it
i
so sick
of it
uh-huh
