[Verse 1]
         Em  
I stand still
          G                 D/F#
Aint no wind's 'gon blow me down
            Em  
I drink my swill
         G            D/F# 
Hold my hand until we drown
                 Cmaj7
And I know its easier
                G                      D/F#
To keep things in then saying them out loud
             Cmaj7    
I'm used to being hurt
            G                    D/F#
Drink some gin, I try to keep it down
             Cmaj7          
I think you know me too well
             G         D/F#  
I just cant say i know myself
          Cmaj7              
I know i put you through hell
          G           D/F#                      
And if i leave all by myself, you'd be just fine

[Chorus]
Cmaj7                     G
But I'm lost where do I go
        D/F#            Cmaj7
I cant find my way back home
                G 
I'll die on my own
           D/F#          Cmaj7
Searching for someone I know
                    G 
Long roads stare at me
            D/F#          Cmaj7
Hope the distance sets me free
                        G   
I'm tired but I stand strong
           D/F#               
Aint much time before I'm gone

[Verse 2]
         Em  
I stand still
         G             D/F#
Take my soul set it on fire
            Em 
But I cant feel
        G              D/F#
No one hears me when I cry
                  Cmaj7
And I know it's easier
               G             D/F#  
To let it all crash into the ground
                   Cmaj7
I think im being cursed
                    G               D/F#
To take all that I love and burn it down
             Cmaj7          
I know I'm drinking too much
           G                D/F#
And if it kills me then I'm dead
            Cmaj7           
I dont got time to lose much
          G             D/F#             Cmaj7
And if I lose to my own head just let me go

[Chorus]
                          G 
Cause I'm lost where do i go
         D/F#           Cmaj7
I cant find my way back home
               G  
I'll die on my own
           D/F#         Cmaj7
Searching for someone I know
                    G 
Long roads stare at me
            D/F#          Cmaj7
Hope the distance sets me free
                        G   
I'm tired but I stand strong
            D/F#           Em  
Ain't much time before I'm gone
