A                                  G
Waste away to nothin' in a dark dusty tomb
A                                  G
Lookin' for the traces of what used to be a room
A                                  G
Wipe away the blood from a tormented brow
A                                  G
Solve the wicked problem never asking how

A                                  G
Rock the sinking vessel till it rests on the bottom
A                                  G
Count the waves of water don't remember forgot them
A                                  G
Taste the stench of livin' on thin dimes and a dream
A                                  G
Opening an ear to a painful silent scream

A  C->B  D->C->A
Oh life is bad
A  C->B  D->C->A
Oh no, worst I ever had

A                                  G
Ache and writhe in agony like a vise on aging bones
A                                  G
Tar and acid drip from an ice cram cone
A                                  G
Holding onto a wind that chases the hell
A                                  G
Fallin' in the darkness of an inner descending well

A                                  G
Caress transparent night as a demon with a sword
A                                  G
Speak with an eloquence never saying a word
A                                  G
Look into the clarity then erase it with the muck
A                                  G
Lying in a pool of conciousness no such thing as luck

A                                  G
To being a beginner, to inventing the end
A                                  G
To livin' with a strangler never a friend
A                                  G
Saddle slobbering beast trouble is abound
A                                  G
Ride the devil's bronco never hit the ground
