I wouldn?t mind if you told me I was wasting time, It?s hard for me here to try to
Em                      F                  C            F    C           F
Say these things with you so near I?m already undone, already undone


C           G               Em                   F                     C           G
Now is the time, I should leave these useless things behind, But fool that I am, I try
   Em                   F                 C           F    C    F
To stay inside of your latest plan I?m already undone ______

___This time I promised myself that I wouldn?t sink so far, but here I am I?m wrapped

Around you in the glow of this empty bar ___I wish I could hold my tongue and finally
                          C               G            Fx2
Say goodnight Am I holding on too tight ___

Hours ago I could pride myself on some control, but plans that are made disappear
               F                         C          F      C          F
With every drink that?s laid I?m already undone, already undone


[Chorus]

___Yeah there?s a way, but I can?t even keep one single word I say ?Cause I?ve been
G                           D/F#x2                          C            E
Wrapped around your finger since the very first day, I wish my legs would work,
          Fx2                    C               G            Fx2
I could run out in the night Am I holding on too tight ___

I wouldn?t mind if you put me out of my hurt sometime, I?m waving the flag chasing beauty
                  F                  C           F     C          F

Now I am lost and I can?t even feel my head, while you and all your friends were
            D/F#x2                                     C                E                    Fx2
Laughing about something you wish you?d said I wish I could just reach up and turn
                           C             G      Fx2        C                     G      F     C
Out every light am I holding on too tight yes I know I?m holding on too tight ____
