Poor boy
Cadd9 Fmaj7
Why don't you try getting water?
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
C Cmaj7
Poor boy
Cadd9 Fmaj7
Why don't you try getting sleep?
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
C Cmaj7
I think
Cadd9 Fmaj7
if one of us is going to suffer
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
Why shouldn't it be me?
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
::Verse 2::
C Cmaj7
Poor boy
Cadd9 Fmaj7
Your wife is in hard labor
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
C Cmaj7
The rhythm you know
Cadd9 Fmaj7
Is pulsing and drifting to the grave
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
C Cmaj7
When you come to
Cadd9 Fmaj7
You'll be asking yourself just one question

C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
Was I always this way?
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
Was I always this way?
::Verse 3::
C Cmaj7
Think back a year
Cadd9 Fmaj7
When everything stood at the surface
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
C Cmaj7
But bandage your cuts
Cadd9 Fmaj7
cause you don't know what swims underneath
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
C Cmaj7
Hold tight
Cadd9 Fmaj7
The bondage of this life is slipping
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
Why shouldn't it be me?
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
Why shouldn't it be me?
::Bridge::
F Fm
When I come back
C Em
You'll be the brightest star
F G
In the black
F Fm
When there are days
C Em Am G
That you want the call we're all waiting for
C
Think back
::Final Verse::
C Cmaj7
Poor boy
Cadd9 Fmaj7
Your wife is in hard labor
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
C Cmaj7
Go buy
Cadd9 Fmaj7
the flowers you'll leave on its grave
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
C Cmaj7
You went with the goal
Cadd9 Fmaj7
of movement, Now one thing is different:
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
You don't want to change.
C Cmaj7 Dm Fmaj7
I don't want to change
C
