A#
Fool enough to almost be it
Gm
Cool enough to not quite see it
D#
Doomed

Pick your pocket, full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June

        Cm     G#       D#
We'll try to ease the pain
     Cm     G#       D#
Somehow we feel the same
      F       D#
Well, no one knows
  F           Gm  G#
Where out secrets go

I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream

I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream

Chorus:
A#     Gm              D#
And I fail but when I can, I will
 A#           Gm               D#
Try to understand that when I can, I will

A#
Mother weep the years I'm missin'
Gm
All our time can't be given
D#
Back
A#
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
Gm
That cursed you and your reasons
D#
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling

Chorus:
So bad that when I can, I will
Words defy the plan, when I can, I will

Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
Dull enough to always feel this
Always old, I'll always feel this
No more promise, no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me?
I just want to be me

Chorus:
I just want to be me and when I can, I will
Try to understand that when I can, I will
