Tom: Cm
Introdução: G# Cm7 A# G# Cm7 A#
G# Cm7 A#
I used to be so sensible on my own
G# Cm7 A#
Now I'm so sensitive it's a joke
G# Cm7 A#
I'm getting by on decibels like a drug
G#
And greet every brand
Cm7 A#
New day with a shrug
[Refrão]
G# Cm7 A#
I'm barely hanging on
G# Cm7 A#
I'm barely hanging on
G# Cm7 A#
I'm barely hanging on
G# Cm7 A#
I'm barely hanging on
[Próxima Parte]
G# Cm7 A#
I used to be so comfortable in a suit
G# Cm7 A#
Almost presentable next to you
G# Cm7 A#
I used to be so confident in a crowd
G# Cm7 A#
Now I can't say my own name aloud
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Solo 2x]
G# Cm7
A# (4x)
G# Cm7
And now I guess you're
A#
Wondering why
G#
We never could see eye to eye
Cm7 A#
Oh but never mind
G# Cm7 A#
And now I guess it's hard to see
G# Cm7
What has gotten into me
A#
Oh but never mind
G# Cm7 A#
Oh but never mind
G# Cm7 A#
Oh but never mind
G# Cm7 A#
I'm barely hanging on
G# Cm7 A#
I'm barely hanging on
G# Cm7 A#
I'm barely hanging on
