[Verse 1]
(using chord shapes from the list up top)
C^                Csus4/F
   I never thought I'd die alone
C/A               Csus4/F
   I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
C^                Csus4/F
   I trace the cord back to the wall
C/A               Csus4/F
   No wonder it was never plugged in at all
C^                Csus4/F
   I took my time, I hurried up
C/A               Csus4/F
   The choice was mine I didn't think enough
C^                Csus4/F
   I'm too depressed to go on
C/A               Csus4/F
   You'll be sorry when I'm gone

[Chorus]
(I like to use 053000 instead of C/D* here. I don't know the name (c11(no7)?)it is weird
but sounds nice sometimes try it)
C^                C/D*
   I never conquered, rarely came
C/A               Csus4/F
   16 just held such better days
C^                C/D*
   Days when I still felt alive
C/A               Csus4/F
   We couldn't wait to get outside ~~~intensify strum pattern~~~
C^                C/D*
   The world was wide, too late to try
C/A               Csus4/F
   The tour was over we'd survived
C^                C/D*
   I couldn't wait till I got home
C/A               Csus4/F
   To pass the time in my room alone
