[VERSE 1] 
C                Em 
Old man was it worth it?         
        B            C 
Was it all that it seemed          
         C            G               Bm
Did you ever find a carcass of your dreams? 

        C               Em  
Oh you must know I was young 
      B             C 
The fear I had not yet outrun
              C              G              Bm      C 
Though I was never meant to hurt you, but I do,      
      Bm   A
But I do…… oh 


[CHORUS 1] 
             A                             G       Am    
It’s got a hold of me and it keeps coming away      
Em                                       C               
And you were always looking at me from afar
           D                       
I can’t change
         Em            C
I’m a stranger to my nature 
           C          G   D                 Am
Would you love me anyway, if my head don’t talk right
                       C
Don’t let me down old man

[VERSE 2] 
              C                   Em 
Through the swollen eyes of your Ritalin, 
               B                  C 
It’s like a stranger's standing over me 
               C                  G            Bm 
Some kind of faceless beast that watches as I sleep 

               C                Em
Now there’s a hard lump in my throat
             B                       C
And all the best times that you’ve ever known  
               C            G           Bm 
Are all just faded off the back of my sanity     
     C          
Oh please
   Bm       A
I made you weep


[CHORUS 2] 
             A                             G       Am    
It’s got a hold of me and it keeps coming away      
Em                                       C               
And you were always looking at me from afar
           D                       
I can’t change
         Em            C
I’m a stranger to my nature 
           C          G   D                 Am
Would you love me anyway, if my head don’t talk right
                       C
Don’t let me down old man

[OUTRO] 
Em     C             Em    
          I want It back,   
 C                     Em 
I left the seed of a memory  
    C          Em               Bm       
And I wondered if I’ve come too far
