**\[Verse\]**  
D           A           Bm  
I never thought I'd die alone  
      G                            D  
I laughed the loudest who'd have known?  
               A           Bm  
I trace the cord back to the wall  
                    G                 D  
No wonder it was never plugged in at all  
           A               Bm  
I took my time, I hurried up  
                G                    D  
The choice was mine I didn't think enough  
           A             Bm  
I'm too depressed to go on  
            G  
You'll be sorry when I'm gone  
   
**\[Instrumental\]**  
\| Dsus4 \| Em   \| Bm   \| Gmaj7 \| (x2)  
   
**\[Chorus\]**  
D          Em               Bm  
I never conquered, rarely came  
          G                D  
16 just held such better days  
          Em             Bm  
Days when I still felt alive  
             G              D  
We couldn't wait to get outside  
          Em               Bm  
The world was wide, too late to try  
          G                D  
The tour was over we'd survived  
            Em             Bm  
I couldn't wait till I got home  
             G                D  
To pass the time in my room alone

**\[Verse 2\]**  
D           A           Bm  
I never thought I'd die alone  
              G               D  
Another six months I'll be unknown  
               A                Bm  
Give all my things to all my friends  
                    G               D  
You'll never step foot in my room again  
               A               Bm  
You'll close it off, board it up  
               G                      D  
Remember the time that I spilled the cup  
           A           Bm  
Of apple juice in the hall  
              G                   D  
Please tell mom this is not her fault</td><td>**\[Instrumental\]**

Days when I still felt alive

The world was wide, too late to try

tomorrow holds such better days

Days when I can still feel alive

When I couldn't wait to get outside

The world is wide, the time goes by

The tour is over, I've survived

I can't wait till I get home

To pass the time in my room alone</td></tr></tbody></table>
