Intro

Verse 1
I’m a lost case
Pathetic waste of space
Yeah I lose my days
and I [G/B]can’t get up early
I’ve a stone face
My heart is usually out of pace
Wanna break the strain
but I[G/B] can’t get up early

Chorus
And I keep lying to myself
that my heart’s of gold and [G/B]some day I’d make it
Yeah I keep trying by myself
but my heart is cold and [G/B]fragile, don’t break it

| Dm | C/D | G/D | Dm | (band builds up)

Verse 2
And some days

but I [G/B]can’t get up early

‘Cause no one can
get it [G/B]right always
They might seem so,
but that is usually not the case
‘Cause no one can
have it [G/B]good always

Chorus
And I keep lying to myself
that my heart’s of gold and [G/B]some day I’d make it
Yeah I keep trying by myself
but my heart is cold and [G/B]fragile, don’t break it
