[Intro]
Eb  Dm Gm  Bb F  Gm F Eb   (x2)

[Verse 1]
Eb                   Dm
Something changed at 24,
Gm                   Bb
spent my days moving to and fro
F                   Gm   F    Eb
From the bed to the bath-room floor
Eb              Dm
Tear away in my rancid skin,
Gm           Bb             F
this must be penance for my visions
Gm        F      Eb
Death's a coming call
Eb               Dm
Should've died a thousand times,
Gm           Bb     F
the sick get paradise
              Gm      F    Eb
Deaths happen all the time
Eb             Dm
Worry about my brother a lot,
Gm           Bb        F
don't really talk enough
              Gm      F     Eb
Can't seem to say the right thing

[Verse 2]
Eb                 Dm
Something weighing in my hair,
Gm                  Bb
can't sleep and I'm seeing things
F                  Gm   F    Eb
And I can't stand sight of myself
Eb         Dm            Gm
It's a generation thing, said one
           Bb               F
of the old boys back in the boozеr
       Gm         F      Eb
On his tenth pint of the day
Eb        Dm
So I shy away from it,
Gm            Bb
accept it for what it is
F
Wе're all born
    Gm         F     Eb
and raised and named
Eb                 Dm
The dark tales you like to howl,
Gm              Bb
then cry and it brings it out
F              Gm      F    Eb
Got a thanking hand in hand
