Capo 2nd fret (personal preference)
(Intro)
C E F (G)
C E F D
I thought about
C E F -G-
Leaving but I couldn't even get outta bed
C E F -G-
I'm hangin' cause I couldn't get a ride outta town
C E F
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
D
Come 'round
Thought about
C E F -G-
Singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words
C E F -G-
Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart
C E F
Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about
D
Now I'm down
C G
And I wonder how I never got the burn
Am
And if I'm ever gonna learn
F
How lonely people make a life
G D
One strain at a time

Forgot about
C E F -G-
Everything and everyone I needed before
C E F -G-
Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine
C E F D
Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time
C G
And I wonder how I never got the burn
Am
And if I'm ever gonna learn
F
How lonely people make a life
G F D
One strain at a time and still shine

One strain at a time and still shine
