Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

All dressed up, no place to run

 No car, no girl, no pills, no fun

Nothing to do in this empty room

 I gotta get my head together soon

Alone again, no plans, no friends

 You come around at half past ten

 You say "How are you holding up my friend?

 Are you sitting around getting drunk again?"

And I hear the desperation of those lines

 Wasted hours, others wasted time

Uh, yeah, I been just fine!

 Then we're out the door in an hour more

 We stumble down from the second floor

 And we're swaying, braying

 We don't know what we're saying

 And you grab my shirt, your way so curt

 I swear to God that this doesn't hurt

 When you stare like that, you put on that act

 You say something and then you take it back

 And I feel as though I've done something wrong

 Oh, how I miss you when you're gone

 And I wish I had the guts to scream

 You know, things aren't always what they seem

 When you walk away, I want to stay

 Don't leave me here to pace and pray

 All these nights I burnt, hours I turned

 You think that by now I'd learnt

 That you're only what you pretend to be

 I guess that was just lost on me

 I can't stand the way you look at me in that dress

 Oh, happy, alright I might be, I guess

If I wasn't such a mess!
