Intro:
E              A             E
Up on Scorpion Hill watching life
                     A     B
Passing me by in the pale moonlight
E                              A              Dbm
And I sat there forever, three sheets to the wind
B
It's not helping my case, the state that I'm in
A                     E
But it's not how they told you
A                  E
My intentions were good
A                                  E
I was just bursting apart like the end of the ark
Dbm                      Gbm        A
Holding on to whatever I could

Verse 1: E A E A Dbm B A

E                           B                     A
a square of light moves its way through the empty room
E                         Gbm
Across the stained yellow carpet
E                 B           A
Like a ghost of myself in the afternoon
            C
Haunting my basement apartment
B           C
I looked in to the mirror
Dbm               A
Hanging behind my door
B                             C
The glass was cracked and the man staring back
Dbm                   A
He don't look like me anymore
           B
And if the world is gonna burn
     C
Everyone should get a turn to light it up

Chorus (x2): E B Dbm A

E B

Dbm  A   E    B    Dbm  A            E B
Down and out, I've been on the rocks
Dbm  A    E           A           Gbm
I've been having some pretty dark thoughts
                    B   Cm
Yeah, I like them a lot

Verse 2: E A E A Dbm B A

E             B                          A
Time and time again, well I've tried and failed to get my act together
E                     Abm                        A
And I'll admit lately things really went off the rails
C
I know that you deserve better
B                   C
But in the morning, as I was boarding
Dbm                   A
The commuter train to work
B                               C
The boss was calling, he said, "There's been cutbacks and
Dbm                  A
I'm sorry you're the first"
B
And If I can't support the two of us
Cm
How can I support a third?

Chorus: E B

Dbm  A   E    B    Dbm  A            E B
Down and out, I've been on the rocks
Dbm  A    E           A           Gbm
I've been having some pretty dark thoughts

Bridge:
B
And I'm on the brink
E
Falling deep into debt
A
Falling deep into drink
Gbm
I can drown those regrets
                B
I don't have to think
A                         E
Now I'm working the night shift
A             E
Asleep at the wheel
A                           E
I was bursting apart like a flame from a spark
Dbm       Gbm
Thinkin' "Jesus, this can't be for real"

Verse 3:
A               E
My sweat-soaked mattress
A              E
Corner of the room
A              E
Cigarettes and matches
Dbm            Gbm
In the fading afternoon
A
And a picture of my kid, yeah, he's smiling
                      E
It's the first day of school

Outro (x4): E B Dbm A

Gbm                    B                  E
She said, "I found the gun, it was buried beneath
         A                                  Gbm
Piles of clothes in the room where your son sleeps
             B                             E
And I can't pretend, to know how this will end"
