F#m
With guilt that no man should carry
Bm
Heavy enough for me to get buried
F#m
I feel death on the road tonight
Bm
It's got me to where I wanna run and hide

Chorus:
C#m
Oh, I used to dream
Bm
Of oceans and streams
C#m
Flowing and growing strong
Bm                         F#m
Where have all those days gone?

These days I am so slow
All those thoughts and nowhere to go
My aim, it used to be so true
My world had a place in it darling, just for you

Chorus

'Scuse me, now, I got to go
Can't stand to be here anymore, no
I'm sick and I got to go to bed
If I stay now, I'm better off dead

Chorus
