Intro: Ab Cm Db Eb

Verse 1:
Ab          Cm
coffee cups and cigarettes
         Db
upon the balcony
           Eb
a lost philosophy
Ab                 Cm
breaking down
                           Db
a summer frown has got the best of me
             Eb
won't you confess to me

Chorus:
Ab
you don't need me
Cm
to function anymore
Db                          Eb
take the keys and lock the door
Ab                 Cm
you don't need me
               Db
to function anymore
                            Eb
take the keys and lock the door
                    Ab        Cm Db    Eb  Ebsus4  Eb  Ebsus2  Eb Ab
I'm going out of my mind

Verse 2:
                Cm
a glass of wine
                       Db
at five to nine in the morning
             Eb        Ab
the clearest warning
               Cm
pop your pills
                     Db
as the day is barely dawning
            Eb            Ebsus4  Eb  Ebsus2  Eb
I lie there yawning

Bridge:
Db                  Eb
take a look at me now
                        Ab
I never really made you proud
                          C                        Db
I've been floating on the clouds of black and grey
                           Eb
so just leave me here like this
                         Ab
without a lovers goodbye kiss
                           Eb
You know I'd only take the piss
          Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus2 Eb          Ab
I'm going out      of my          mind

Chorus:
Ab
you don't need me
Cm
to function anymore
Db                          Eb
take the keys and lock the door
Ab                 Cm
you don't need me
               Db
to function anymore
                            Eb
take the keys and lock the door
                    Ab
I'm going out of my mind
