do I have nothing good left to say
do I need whisky to start fueling my complaints
people love to drink their troubles away
sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way
[Chorus]:
'cause maybe then I could sleep at night
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light
this is something that I'll never control
my nerves will be the death of me
I know
[Verse]:
so here's to living life miserable
and here's to all the lonely stories that I've told
maybe drinking wine would validate my sorrow
every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle
[Chorus]:
maybe then I could sleep at night
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light
this is something that I'll never control
my nerves will be the death of me
I know
[Bridge]:
C (332010) - G (320030) - Em (022000)
finally I could hope for a better day
no longer holding onto all the things that cloud my mind
maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy
but then again I'll probably feel this way
[Chorus]:
at least I know I'll never sleep at night
I'll always lie awake until the morning like
this is something that I'll never control
my nerves will be the death of me
my nerves will be the death of me
my nerves will be the death of me
I know
