VERSE 1

[C] One fine [D] day drew a [C] picture for you [D] daddy
[C] But I don't [D] like it [C] like I [D] should.
[C] You know it's [D] just where [C] you can find [D] it,
[C] If you [D] think you [C] would. [D]

[C] I drink enough [D] for two on [C] nights like [D] this.
[C] It's not [D] enough, [C] no, it's not [D] enough.
[C] I know there's [D] nights when you[C] can't [D] 
breathe.
[C] Oh, just wait 'til his time is [D] up.

PRE-CHORUS

[C] Believe me baby, [G/B] I'm not like this,
[Em] It's just 'cause of all this stuff [D] [Dsus4] 
[D(no3rd)] [D]
[C] I try and act like [G/B] someone else,
[Em] But I don't act good enough. [D] [Dsus4] [D(no3rd)] 
[D]

CHORUS

[C] When I leave [D] you're [C] breathing easy [D] (Leave 
me baby, I 
guess you're not good enough)
[C] Wait until [D] the [C] season ends [D] (Waiting for my 
life)
[C] Waiting for [D] some [C] reasoning [D]
[C] I just [D] don't see [C] right now. [D]

VERSE 2

[C] I suppose [D] you can reach [C] some [D] magic,
[C] Just in time [D] when I'm [C] feeling [D] low.
[C] I suppose [D] you can [C] save me [D] now,
[C] If you have [D] the desire, is [C] what I [D] suppose.

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

VERSE 3

[C] I suppose that [D] bug on the [C] wall has some [D] 
meaning,
[C] An explanation [D] detailed [C] for [D] me.
[C] There must be time [D] before dawn [C] for another [D] 
round.
[C] I guess my time's [D] running out [C] on [D] me.

[C] One fine [D] day drew a [C] picture for you [D] daddy
[C] But I don't [D] like it [C] like I [D] should.
[C] You know it's [D] just where [C] you can find [D] it,
[C] If you [D] think you [C] would. [D]
