Intro

Em  G  C/G

Verse 1

         Em      G
Hold me down, I need a prescription
Cadd9
My heart can't feel this empty anymore
            Em        G
Choke them down, and hope for a reaction,
    Cadd9
or live another day at war
C/G                      G             Cadd9        Dsus2 
Days spent dazed, a classic case Of mis concepted ways

Chorus

G                        Em                       C
This has always been my life, it will always be a place 
                               Dsus2
where I spend too much time on hold
     G
The things I've done and said each day, 
        Em                          C
keep haunting every move I make So I'll keep walking, 
               Dsus2                       Em   G
searching for control, down this futile road
                   C/G
(down this futile road)

Verse 2
         Em             G
Hold me down, all my recklessness has damaged, 
    Cadd9                           Em     G
my body beyond all repair,  I'm not down, and out yet,
                          Cadd9
I'm just out and down the search for understanding isn't fair
C/G                     G
Days spent dazed, an all too common case
   Cadd9         Dsus2 D
Of misconcepted ways

Chorus 

G                        Em                       C
This has always been my life, it will always be a place 
                               Dsus2
where I spend too much time on hold
     G
The things I've done and said each day, 
        Em                          C
keep haunting every move I make So I'll keep walking, 
               Dsus2                       Em   G
searching for control, down this futile road

Bridge

C                   Dsus2                Em
And after all this time nothings changed
C                      D                Em
I've lasted all this time and nothings changed
C                   Dsus2               Em
And after all this time nothings changed
C                      D              
I've lasted all this time

The things I've done and said each day,
