  The fountain was off. 
              D                                              G
This is the first time I've been back to the city in months.
                 A                 D

  I'm not a self-help book; I'm just a fucked up kid. 
                  G                 Bm
I had to take my own advice and I did.

Now I'm waiting for it to sink in. 
Bm            A                      D

I don't have roses in the closet 
             D
But I've got pictures in a drawer 
     G         
It's everything left in me 
        D
Not to stare at them anymore. 
  G                              D
I walked upstairs and shaved my beard.
