Adam‘s Song

v1 C Am Em 
i never thought i‘d die alone 
F C 
i laughed the loudest who‘d have known 
Am Em 
i traced the chord back to the wall 
F C 
no wonder it was never plugged in at all 
Am Em 
i took my time i hurried up 
F C 
i choice was mine i didnt think enough 
Am Em F C 
im to depressed to go on, you‘ll be sorry when im gone 
 
chorus: C Am Em 
i never conquered rarely came 
F C 
16 just held such better days 
Am Em 
days when i‘d still feel alive 
F C 
and couldnt wait to get outside 
Am Em 
the world was wide too late to try 
F C 
the tour was over we‘d survived 
Am Em 
i couldnt wait til i got home 
F C 
to pass the time in my room alone 
 
v2: C Am Em 
i never thought i‘d die alone 
F C 
another 6 months, ill be unknown 
Am Em 
give all my things to all my friends, 
F C 
you‘ll never set foot in my room again 
Am Em 
you‘ll close it off, board it up, 
F C 
remember the time that i spilled the cup 
Am Em 
of apple juice in the hall, 
F C 
please tell mom this is not her fault 
 
chorus2: C Am Em 
i never conquered, rarely came 
F C 
tomorrow holds such better days 
Am Em 
days when i still feel alive 
F C 
when i cant wait to get outside 
Am Em 
the world is wide as time goes by 
F C 
the tour is over i‘ve survived 
Am Em 
i cant wait til i get home 
F C 
to pass the time in my room alone
