Dying Slowly

Tindersticks


Tom: D

     A
I've got memories
          F#m
I keep them away from me 
       A
They won't behave
              F#m 
Won't be what I want them to be 

[Bridge]
A                             G   F#m
I've seen it all and it's all    done 
A                      G      F#m
I've been with everyone   and no one 


     A
So many squandered moments 
          F#m
So much wasted time 
         A
So busy chasing dreams 
          F#m
I left myself behind 

[Bridge]
A                             G   F#m
I've seen it all and it's all    done 
A                             G   F#m
I've been with everyone   and no one 

[Chorus]
        G
So this dying slowly 
          A        G         F#m
It seemed better than shooting myself 
     G
This dying slowly 
          A        G         F#m
It seemed better than shooting myself 


     A
These worms, darling 
          F#m
They're nibbling away at me 
     A
They go at it when I'm sleeping 
          F#m
Won't let me get to my feet 

[Bridge]
A                             G   F#m
I've seen it all and it's all    done 
A                             G   F#m
I've been with everyone   and no one 

[Chorus]
        G
So this dying slowly 
          A        G         F#m
It seemed better than shooting myself 
     G
This dying slowly 
          A        G         F#m
It seemed better than shooting myself 


           D
If I could find a way to explain these feelings
        A
I would shout them out
           D
If I could find out all of this, what's inside of me
        A
I would shout them out


        G
So this dying slowly 
          A        G         F#m
It seemed better than shooting myself 
     G
This dying slowly 
          A        G         F#m
It seemed better than shooting myself 


     A
I make some coffee 
          F#m
Pull on that new pair of pants 
      A
I can get so far 
          F#m
The feeling just falls away 


A                             G   F#m
I've seen it all and it's all    done 
A                             G   F#m
I've been with everyone   and no one 




A
I'm just tired baby 
          F#m
I just need to lay down...
