it's been running for a long time and it's running out in my mind
[C#m]I can't explain it all to you, it's [Esus4]really jum[E]bled up
B X B X
so for longer now I messed up and I'm wishing now I fessed up
C#m N.C.
that concern's no use to you, it feeds the pain that's done
B X B X
so forget how I am dealin', explain to me the feelin'
[C#m]it gets to that point instantly, you're [Esus4]ready to [E]unload
B X B X
and I'm the one you're spitting at, I'm ready for my fitting in
C#m N.C.
doesn't make much sense, but when I get it calm it's slow
