C
The 21st comes so soon every month
Am
An anniversary of not being strong enough
F
You're much too co-dependent,
                     C
a shrink is recommended

Your father tells you to try to be responsible
Your mother loves you, but not the way
she did before
Your brother's torn to pieces,
nobody knows the reasons

He loves the winter, but it smells
too much like memories
The ornament she gave him still hangs
from his Christmas tree
A jingle bell would glisten;
that's when she loved to kiss him

So say farewell to all the little
things she would say and do
The morning, sleepy-eyed girl waves goodbye to you
You're much too co-dependent,
a shrink is recommended

Chorus:
G                      F
But yeah, who are the people you hang around with?
            Am
Who are the ones you're gonna call
                  Em
when you feel like ending it all?
G                      F
But yeah, who are the people you hang around with?
            Am
Who are the ones you're gonna call
                  Em
when you feel like ending it all?

Em                     C
But I can't bring you down
                       Am
But I can't bring you down
                       F
But I can't bring you down
                       C
But I can't bring you down


                       Am
But I can't bring you down
                       F
But I can't bring you down
                       C
But I can't bring you down
