[Verse]
Long gone the days of summer
In L.A. it stretches longer
(with Riff 1)
Dm
Fading, waiting
Dm
Try to heal but the pain it won’t go
Dm
Start with less always seems to cost more
Dm
Hating, breaking

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Remember, come December, one day can last forever
C                                 G                                   Dm
Ain’t nowhere that’s safe for a lowly pretender
C                                 G                                 Dm
I’m shooting straight for the target center

[Chorus]
F                                 G
Maybe you should know
Am                                 C
I’m feeling lonely and I’m tired, oh yeah
F                 G
Maybe I should go
Am                                                 C
Got no desire to watch the last tear fall
F                                 G
Maybe this will show
Am                                                 C
I’m reeling, empty, uninspired, oh yeah
F                                 G
Maybe I don’t know
Am                                 C
You anymore and I’m smiling
Dm                                 F
Our burden is untied
G Am
Let it die

[Verse]
I’d be lying if I said it felt right
Even though I got a dog in this fight
(with Riff 1)
Dm
Wounded, losing
Dm
People talk, in and out the words go
Dm
To be the one from where the wind it does blow
Dm
Hounded, surrounded
