C
I've had a steady
stream of lonely
nights in the past
few weeks In this
Am
room I'm locked
             F
away from it all
Just need a break
          C
from the walls that
close me in I'll see
this out standing
             Am
on pins I'll fall
asleep with my eyes
      F       Dm
open Just to see
   C
if I could focus-
     C
-on something
other than my
loneliness None
of my friends
                 F
seem to give a shit
about the way I am
And I donknow full
well that I can't
           C
stand that I get
myself way too deep
in what she said
     Am
But they bail me
             G
out when I'm in
over my head

Chorus:
C/E
I'm getting sick of
F          C
being broke and what's
             G
worse is I'm all
            C/E
alone on my own I
               F
can't seem to let
           G
this go I wish I could
stop staring at the
C/E             F
walls So I can get
             C
some sleep Another
      G
day another week
   C/E
in hell I'll see her
F
face down here real
G
soon Welcome to home
                C  F C F
to a swift farewell

Of all the things I hope to keep
A childhood sense of opportunity
Grab life by the wrist and jump
Take the chance while I'm still young and dumb

Passed out but on my feet
With years ahead to get some sleep
And so much time to face defeat
So write our names in wet concrete
To seal our place in space and time
Before we have to walk the line
Before we all move on in life
Before the sun comes up tonight

Chorus - x2

                C  F C F C F Am F Am F
to a swift farewell
      Am    F   C  F C F C F Am F G C
to a swift farewell
