Adam’s Song

Verse:
C       F               Am
I never thought I'd die alone
                F                  C
I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
              F              Am
I trace the cord back to the wall
                  F                          C
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
           F            Am
I took my time, I hurried up
                 F                  C
The choice was mine I didn't think enough
          F            Am
I'm too depressed to go on
           F               C
You'll be sorry when I'm gone

Chorus:
C          Dm              Am
I never conquered, rarely came
         F                 C
16 just held such better days
          Dm            Am
Days when I still felt alive
            F               C
We couldn't wait to get outside
                Dm             Am
The world was wide, too late to try
             F               C
The tour was over we'd survived
             Dm             Am
I couldn't wait till I got home
              F                C
To pass the time in my room alone

Verse:
C         F               Am
I never thought I'd die alone
              F                 C
Another six months I'll be unknown
              F               Am
Give all my things to all my friends
                   F               C
You'll never step foot in my room again
                F             Am
You'll close it off, board it up
               F                     C
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
          F            Am
Of apple juice in the hall
             F                   C
Please tell mom this is not her fault

Chorus:
C         Dm              Am
I never conquered, rarely came
         F                 C
16 just held such better days
           Dm              Am
Days when I still felt alive
            F               C
We couldn't wait to get outside
                F                Am
The world was wide, too late to try
             F               C
The tour was over we'd survived
             F               Am
I couldn't wait till I got home
              F                C
To pass the time in my room alone

Chorus:
C          Dm              Am
I never conquered, rarely came
             F              C
tomorrow holds such better days
             Dm              Am
Days when I can still feel alive
                 F             C
When I couldn't wait to get outside
                Dm              Am
The world is wide, the time goes by
              F              C
The tour is over, I've survived
         Dm              Am
I can't wait till I get home
              F               C
To pass the time in my room alone
