Intro
Verse 1
I'm staying stubborn in retreat
I was standing on your corner pondering defeat
An old lady fixed my collar, said her steps were getting steep
I said "I live by the top but not permanently"
I know you follow, I can hear you
And the patter of your feet
I'm looking like I'm still half asleep
And it feels like you're standing on me
Chorus
Why do you ask me? I don't know my way
Why do you keep me hear? I have no more cards to play
Verse 2
I've got eyelids like concrete and they're too numb to blink
You drain the life out of me, I've forgotten how to think
I was sitting on a fortune now I'm staring down a sink
I've got one too many itches and you're just another sting
You can I hope that I might
But I never feel a thing
You can I hope that I might
But I never feel a thing
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT INTRO FOR BREAK
Verse 3
A strange thing happened in my mind
All your words turned to scribble by the time I recognize
I never looked right in the reflection in your eyes
I'd wait to hear your voice but I never could reply
REPEAT CHORUS
Then repeat verse chords till end
