Distractions Of Living Alone

• Em

A simple chord interpretation of the song.
(Capo 6 for original pitch) (Capo 1 or no capo work well)

Em                              Em
        When I come home at the end of the day, 
C                     C     
        everything is just where I left it
Em                         Em               
        No one has called, nothing has changed, 
C                     C
        everything is just how I left it

Em                         C        
        I haven't spoken a word in days, 
G                              D
        except for cursing the noise in the hall
Em                         C        
        I haven't spoken a word in days,
G                 D
        to anyone else at all

Em              C                      G        D
        And so, as I go, I'll leave my body for you
        And so, as I go, don't feel sorry for me
        For life is the sacrifice, before you die
        And so as I go, I'll leave my body for you to
Em   Em7   Em   Em7   
see

Em                Em7       
        A bed all alone in the bedroom
Em               Em7                      Em
        A vacant space where a table should be
             Em7            Em      Em7
        Some posters on the walls
Em                   Em7               Em      Em7
        The bathroom mirror covered in spit
Em             Em7                 Em                   Em7               Em
        I have made such desperate attempts to make this a nice place to live
                   Em7                Em                 Em7                     Em    Em7
        And I have failed, for I have tried to fill this dead empty space with a life
Em               Em7        Em      Em7
        All this time on my hands,
Em                 Em7         Em     Em7
        And I have no where to go,
Em                 Em7                Em

C C Em D/F#

C Em         C            Em     D/F#
I hope you'd be the first one to find me
C     Em      C         Em     D/F#
After I'd concluded the past behind me
C              Em    C          Em     D/F#
  So hold your hands, over your mouth
C            Em       C      Em     D/F#
  And run to tell the others
    C  Em
the o--others
