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 This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

this song really sounds like it’s about suicide
Can someone please put bored to death on here. It would make me so happy:)
It would be great if the intro to the this song was included.
agreed
I used D DU as a strumming pattern 🙂
-3 works the best for me
Why don’t these include the strumming pattern
It would be great if I didn’t cry everytime I try to sing this
I think the intro goes something like this:
G–0—0—————-
C-0—0—0—0–0-0-0-0
E—0—0—0—0-1—1-
A———-0—0——–
It’s not perfect but it does work for me
This song sounds even more depressing on uke
Please could you add the intro?
Thanks
It is
I use D DU U D U D DU for my strumming pattern. It really works for me, so I really recommend this one.
woah I really have never truly listened to these lyrics before, they are much darker then I thought they were
Why are strumming patters not on here? I taught my self how to play so you can imagine my struggle, right?
