Verse 1
[C#m]Once upon [B/D#]a [E]time, it called [A]me the bleeder.
[F#m7]I [C#m]was swimming up [B/D#]this [E]river, sentimental [A]fever.
[B7][C#m]But this ain't [B]my first ride, [E]it ain't my [A]last try.
Just got [F#m7]to keep moving on, [C#m]if they catch [G#m/D#]me ever, [E]they'll throw [A]me back forever.
Chorus
[C#m]I guess I should [E]be ashamed, but [C#m]I forget [E]to be vain.
[C#m]I did the best [E]I could, I guess, but [F#m7]everything just bleeds.
[A]This ain't your [C#m]only sad [B]and lonely, [A][E/G#]and [F#m]no one is impressed.
Verse 2
[A]I [C#m]sent it off [B/D#]in [E]a letter, I'll need [A]something better.
[F#m7]Well [C#m]then a nail [B/D#]and [E]a hammer to [A]put me back together.
[F#m][C#m]But this ain't [B]my first [E]ride, it ain't [A]my last try.
Just got [F#m7]to keep moving on, [C#m]gotta keep [G#m7/D#]this together, [E]maybe next [Amaj7]time is never.
Chorus
[F#m7/A][Bsus4][F#m7]Now, [C#m]I guess I should be ashamed, [E]but [C#m]I forget [E]to be vain.
[C#m][E]I [F#m7]did the best [A]I could, I guess, but [F#m]everything just bleeds.
[A]Sometimes I [C#m]must confess, [B]I do feel a little overdressed.
[E][A]Sometimes [F#m7]it's hard [C#m]to tell [B]the wishing from a well, [E]where he threw the penny and [A]where it fell.
[Bsus4][B7]Now, [C#m]I guess I should be ashamed, [E]but [C#m]I forget [E]to be vain.
[C#m]I did the best [E]I could, I guess, but [F#m]everything just bleeds.
[A]I [C#m]guess I should be ashamed, [E]but [C#m]I forget [E]to be vain.
[C#m]I did the best [B]I [E]could, I guess, but [F#m]everything just bleeds.
[A]This ain't [C#m]your only [B]sad and lonely, [A][E/G#]and [F#m]no one is impressed.
