[Verse]
G D
And so she wakes up
Em C
in time to break down
G D
She left a note up on the dresser
Em C
and she's right on time
G Bm C
You don't know anything
D
right or wrong
G Bm C D
G D
I said I know
Em C
and she said so
G D
I wanna panic
Em C
yeah I've had, I go
G Bm C D
You don't owe anything to anyone
G Bm C D
C G
But don't take your life
C G
'cause it's all that you've got
Em Bm
You'd be better off just up and leaving
Am C
if you don't think they will stop
[Chorus]
G D
And when you wake up
Em C
everything is gonna be fine
G D
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
Em C
in a better time
G D
So you're tired of living
Em C
feel like you might give in
G
well don't
it's not your time
[Verse]
G D
Looking through the paper today
Em C
looking for a specific page
G D Em C
Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
G D
because when i left her alone
Em C
she made a sound, like a moan
G D Em C
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
G Bm
Fuck buying flowers for graves
C D
I'd rather buy you
G Bm C D
a one way non-stop to anywhere
G Bm
find anyone do anything
C D G
forget and start again, love
Bm C D
She said she won't go It hurts too
G
much to stand by
D Em
you've got to stop and draw a line
C
Everyone here has to choose a
G
side tonight the
D
moment of truth is haunting you
Em
Don't forget your family
C
regardless what you choose to do
G
You can't decide
D
and they're all screaming "why won't you?"
Em C
I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you
G D
I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun
Em C D
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt
[Instrumental]
G Bm C D
G Bm C D

Annie's tired of forgetting about
C D
today and always planning for
G Bm
tomorrow
C D
Tomorrow and she says,
G Bm
"The saddest day I came across was
C D
when I learned that life goes on
G Bm
without me"
C D
Without me and she says,
G Bm
"If everyone has someone else,
C D
then I ain't got nobody's love to
G Bm
save me"
C D
Save me, and she says
G Bm
"I think I'll pass away tonight,

'cause it seems I'll never get it right if it's

just me Yeah it's just me and she said

if they never find a cure for all her

problems

Problems and she says,
G Bm
as long as she has someone near to
C D
make it clear she doesn't need to
G Bm
solve them
C D
Solve them and she says,

"this loneliness is killing me,

it's filling me with anger and

G
And even if it was so
D
Oh I wouldn't let you go
Em C
you could run run run run but I will follow close
G D
Someday you will say "that's it, that's all"
Em C
but I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
G D
I know that you think that you're on your own
Em
but just know that I'm here
C
and I'll lead you home
G D
if you let me
Em C D
She said "forget me"
G
but I can't

I thought somebody should recognize how well you've done this tab. Only one correction, during the "you'd be better off just up and leaving" part. it should be E, Bm, C, then a chord I cannot yet figure out but often substitute as D.

The pick he does during [D Em C] right before "it's not your time" goes like this
G
