Standard (EADGBE)

There's something new in my way

 I thought about him all that day

Sitting at home, dying alone

 Then again, who am I to say?

We both know I've been down that same road

 I know it gets lonely when that phone rings

 It's the last thing you wanna hear

Chorus

I should know better by now

But after all, after all

I'm so tired of explaining

All the things I should have said

I secretly always knew

But that news came way too soon

I was sitting at home and wondering why

I couldn't even look you in the eye

I heard all those things that your father told you

You know it's not right, but taking your own life

 Might be the only thing that you see through

Chorus

I should know better by now

But after all, after all

I'm so tired of explaining

All the things I should have said

Bridge

 It's alright to complain

 It's alright to feel pain

Solo

 I thought I had the answers to all of my problems

 With one thing but it's always the same

 I go in one door and right out the other

 I'm left with me and James and a million little pieces

It's not that I want them all

To be sorry when I'm gone

 I'm just tired of waking up

I'm gonna try the pills tonight

I'm gonna try and do it my way

And watch it all fall apart

Chorus

I should know better by now

But after all, after all

I'm so tired of explaining

All the things I should have said
