Intro: A   F#m   D   x2


            A
It's been a long day living with this
            F#m               D
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
         A
I took a long walk straight back home
           F#m                D
I could've walked back to San Francisco
          A
I used to long for time alone
          F#m              D
I used to long for a place of my own
       A
And I'm losing faith in everything
    F#m                D
I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost at sea, you see


A   F#m   D   x2


          A
I used to long for broken bones
          F#m                  D
I used to long for a casket to call my own
       A
I never had a problem facing fear
        F#m            D
But I'm done, over and done, my dear, and


F#m      D
Oh mercy me
    A               E
God bless catastrophe
        F#m       D
There's no way in hell
      A            E
We'll ever live to see through this so
F#m       E      D
Drive yourself insane tonight
     F#m      E     D
It's not that far away and
       F#m       E         D         A
I just filled up your tank earlier today


E   A   D
(Yeah!)


 ( C#   B   A )
[This quick progression is there on the album, but I'd skip it in an open-chord acoustic 
and just hold the D a bit longer or something.]


            A
It's been a long day living with this
            F#m               D
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
        A
I took a long walk straight back home
           F#m            D
I could've walked back to Chicago
          A
I used to long for time alone
          F#m              D
I used to long for a place of my own
        A
And I've lost faith in everything
    F#m                D
I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost without you


F#m      D
Oh mercy me
    A               E
God bless catastrophe
        F#m       D
There's no way in hell
      A            E
We'll ever live to see through this so
F#m       E      D
Drive yourself insane tonight
     F#m      E     D
It's not that far away and
       F#m       E         D         A
I just filled up your tank earlier today


E   A   D
(Yeah!)


 ( C#   B   A )


A   F#m   D   x2


   F#m       E      D
So drive yourself insane tonight
     F#m      E     D
It's not that far away and
       F#m       E         D         A
I just filled up your tank earlier today


E   A    E   A   D
(Yeah! Yeah!)


( C#   B   A )
 [Again, this quick progression isn't *really* necessary. You can just stick to the D 
a wee bit and end with an A.]
