Chords

Verse 1

	It's far too late for	me.

	G	F	C	Emin
	Staying up like this is	pure stu	pidi	ty.

	C
The TV tube glows	bright.

	G	F	C	D
	Am I bathing or	drowning	in its	light?

	Everyone's in	bed, I know.	I should have been there	long a	go.

Chorus (repeat)

	G	Emin	C	D
I am	o		ver	tired, as I

	G	F	C	D
	Slouch on	soggy	bones.

	G	Emin	C	D
And I'm	ba		dly	wired, feelin'

	G	F	C	D
	Like a	sack of	stones.

Verse 2

When I can't take anymore,

Inspiration hits me -- like a two-by-four.

I write, but it's no use.

This time of night, I just haven't got the juice.

I can't let this go to waste. Hesitation leads to haste.

Chorus (repeat)

	G	Emin	C	D
I am	o		ver	tired, as I

	G	F	C	D
	Slouch on	soggy	bones.

	G	Emin	C	D
And I'm	ba		dly	wired, feelin'

	G	F	C	D
	Like a	sack of	stones.

Verse 3

This is no way to behave.

Tomorrow, I'll be dead. Now, I dig my own grave.

Turn it off, and go to sleep,

My clothes beside me in a crumpled heap.

The effort isn't so immense. This whole dim evening makes no sense.

Chorus (repeat)

	G	Emin	C	D
I am	o		ver	tired, as I

	G	F	C	D
	Slouch on	soggy	bones.

	G	Emin	C	D
And I'm	ba		dly	wired, feelin'

	G	F	C	D
	Like a	sack of	stones.
