Brige:
Bm G
As weeks went by,
D E
they showed that she was not fine
G D
They told me "son, its time to tell the truth" and
Bm G D E
she broke down and i broke down cos i was tired of lying

LYRICS:
6 a.m, day after Christmas,
I throw some clothes on in the dark
Smell of coal, carseat is freezing,
the world is sleeping--i am numb
up the stairs to her apartment,
she is balled up on the couch
mom and dad went down to charlotte
they're not home to find us out
and we drive,
now that i've found someone
I'm feeling more alone
than i ever have before
She's a brick and i'm drowning slowly,
off the coast and i'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and i'm drowning slowly
they call her name at 7:30,
i pace around the parking lot
and I walk down to buy her flowers
and sell some gifts that i got
can't you see
its not me youre dying for?
and she's feeling more alone
than she ever has before
She's a brick and i'm drowning slowly,
off the coast and i'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and i'm drowning slowly
As weeks went by,
they showed that she was not fine
They told me "son, its time to tell the truth" and
she broke down and i broke down cos i was tired of lying
driving back to her apartment
for a moment we're alone
and i'm alone and she's alone
and now i know it
She's a brick and i'm drowning slowly,
off the coast and i'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and i'm drowning slowly

yan lang lahat yun! kayang kaya nyo yan!
EXTRAS:
>original played 'tong
song na 'to sa piano,
kaya sorry kung di masyadong
accurate, pero sa kin,
siguro mga 92%
>this song is about abortion,
kaya walang masyado maka-relate dito
>pakinggan nyo yung version
ni paolo santos, dun sa last chorus
dun sa ending e nakalimutan nya
yung lyrics... natawa nga ako...
