[Am - skank: off-beat chop] Sittin' here in the dim light, [C - skank] tiles cold under my feet
[G - bubble variation: mute on 2 & 4] Starin' at the drain, watchin' [F - skank] time slip away sweet
[Am - skank] Heart's been busted open, [C - skank] like a bottle on the floor
[G - bubble] No one's comin' back now, [F - skank] just me and this closed door
[Chorus - build with faster skank]
[Am] Feelin' so damn alone, [C] waves crashin' in my head
[G] Your ghost is dancin' 'round, [F] but the music's long since dead
[Am - variation: double skank] Broken bottles, empty promises, [C] tearin' at my chest
[G - bubble] In this foggy mirror world, [F] I'm just a mess
[Am - slow skank fade-in] Memories hit like high tide, [C - skank] pullin' me under slow
[G - bubble] Love we had was wildfire, [F - skank] now it's ashes in the glow
[Am - skank] Guitar's my only buddy, [C - skank] strummin' out the pain
[G - bubble variation: add syncopation] Wishin' for that sunshine, [F - skank] but it's pourin' down the rain
[Chorus - build with faster skank]
[Am] Feelin' so damn alone, [C] waves crashin' in my head
[G] Your ghost is dancin' 'round, [F] but the music's long since dead
[Am - double skank] Broken bottles, empty promises, [C] tearin' at my chest
[G - bubble] In this foggy mirror world, [F] I'm just a mess
[Bridge - slower skank, let it dub out]
[Am] One more drag, one more sigh, [C - skank fade] wonder if I'll make it through
[G - bubble] Life's a crooked road, man, [F - skank] leadin' back to you
[Outro - fade on Am with echoing skank]
[Am] Alone... [C] yeah, alone... [G - bubble] driftin' on... [F] [Am]
[Guitar Solo]
