   F#              B
I declare I don't care no more,
F#                 B         E      F#
I'm burning up and out and growing bored,
        E              C#
In my smoked out boring room.
    F#              B
My hair is shagging in my eyes,
F#                   B         E     F#
Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight,
           E                    C#
To drive along these shit town lights.

Chorus:
B               F#
I'm not growing up,
          B  E   F#
I'm just burning out,
        B
And I stepped in line,
    E                C#
to walk amongst the dead.

Oh, apathy has rained on me
And now I'm feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning, but I don't mind
I'll live inside this mental cave
Throw my emotions in the grave
Hell, who needs them anyway?
