[Intro]
A A
(Woo)

[Verse 1]
             A
Uh, I end my day the
 same way it started
         A
Alone in L.A., while 
I grieve the departed'
                     D       
Waiting, waiting for someone,
                      Bm
 someone to change my life (Hey)
          A
Brand-new shirt, yes, it's a
 little expensive
             A
Oh, whatever works to put 
some joy in the engine
                    D    
And I go out on the town,
                     Bm
 trying to change my night
                 Bm7         
Mm, and doing it over and over 
                    E
and over and over again 
(Oh, hell)

[Chorus]
            D
I need some high hopes,
 Lord knows I could use 'em
A
I know I'ma lose 'em when 
the wheels fall off
D
Hey now, lend some independence
A
Stuck inside the fences 
like a goddamn dog
D
Long nights, heavy feelings
A
They say I'm unappealing
 when I shoot my shot
Bm
Come here, honey, 
show me how to do it
Does love come around or does one
 come around to it? (Oh, yeah)

[Interlude]
A A

[Verse 2]
        A
I get undressed in the 
arms of a stranger
            A
Then second-guess that ol' 
half-sober behavior
                         D      
Do I really, do I really believe 
                              Bm
that someone could change my life?
                 Bm7           
Uh, I'm doing it over, and over, 
                     E
and over, and over again
Where does it end? Mm
