Tom: C
C
Well, I don't like talkin' to myself
F
But someone's gotta say it, hell
G
I mean, things have not been going well
G
This time I think I finally fucked myself
C
You see, the life I live is sickening
F
I spent a decade playing chicken with oblivion
G
Day to day, I'm neck and neck with giving in
G
I'm the same old wreck I've always been
[Chorus]
F
And when I see her in the park
G
It barely merits a remark
C
How we stand the standard distance
G
Distant strangers stand apart
[Verse 2]
C
Course I've been humbled by the void
F
Much of my faith has been destroyed
G
I've been forced to watch my foes enjoy
G
Ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude
C
And as the pace of life keeps quickening
F
Beneath the bitching and the bickering
G
When I try to drown my thoughts in gin
G
I find my worst ideas know how to swim
[Chorus]
F
Well, a setback can be a setup
G
For a comeback if you don't let up
C C7
But this kind of hurtin' won't heal
F
And the end of all wanting
G
Is all I've been wanting
C G
And that's just the way that I feel
[Solo]
C F G
[Verse 3]
C
I met failure in Australia
F
I fell ill in Illinois
G
I nearly lost my genitalia
G
To an anthill in Des Moines
C
I was so far gone in Fargo
F
South Dakota got annoyed
G
That's the shit I'm talkin' 'bout
G
When I talk to you about ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude
[Chorus]
F
And a setback can be a setup
G
For a comeback if you don't let up
C C7
But this kind of hurtin' won't heal
F
And the end of all wanting
G
Is all I've been wanting
F
The end of all wanting
G
Is all I've been wanting
F
The end of all wanting
G
Is all I've been wanting
C G
And that's just the way that I feel
