The night [E] is at its [A] peak, shit-faced and broken,
[D] [A] crying and chain-smoking [E] and just wishing
I was dead.

in my [E] bed.
[D] Now there ain't nothing left in [A] this shell of a man.
I wagered all I had and I lost the [E] bet.
Now I'm [D] soil that won't turn.
I'm [A] a tree that won't bear [D] fruit.
[A] And I've been stripped of everything,
[E] stripped to the [A] root.
The moon may shine bright, [D] but I'm [A] bruised and shaken, [D] [A] alone and forsaken in [E] my darkened,
weary hole.
The [A] ghosts, they surround me, [Dm] [A] criticize and hound me, [E] eating [A] at what once was my [E] soul.

Love is a cruel joke, [D]
played on [A] those who hope.
[D] And only [A] those who cope have the [E] chance to be set [A] free.
