A                   G
Was happiness a fad?
A
Or was it in the lost and
 G
found again behind the issues
A                      G
It might not be so bad
A
We're all addicted
         G
to our tragedy
   D
I guess it's what
    E
it had to be

Chorus:
      A             G
With nothing on my back
       D
It's still enough
     E
to bring me down
    A               G
My mind's about to crack
        D
Cause what I thought
       E
could not be found
 A            G
Matter of in fact
      D
It's harder still
      E
when you're around
      A             G
With nothing on my back
   D               E
I can't help but drown

I might as well belong to both of you
And the mess you always seem to drag me through
That night, forever always haunting me
But I guess it is what it's supposed to be
But spare your thoughts of sympathy

Chorus

      E             D
With nothing on my back
       A
It's still enough
     B
to bring me down
    E               D
My mind's about to crack
        A
Cause what I thought
       B
could not be found - x4


Chorus:
      E             D
With nothing on my back
       A
It's still enough
     B
to bring me down
    E                D
My mind's about to crack
        A
Cause what I thought
       B
could not be found
 E            D
Matter of in fact
      A
It's harder still
      B
when your around
      E             D
With nothing on my back
   A               B
I can't help but drown
