D Em G
D Em G

D        Em
All eyes on the calendar
G

Another year I claim of total indifference
D        Em
To here the days pile up
G
With decisions to be made, I'm sure all of them were wrong
 D       Em
Into this song I send myself
  G
And with these drinks I plan to collapse
    D           Em
And forget this wasted year, these wasted years
G
Devoted friends, they disappear

  A          G       A
And I'm sorry about the phone call and needing you
            G
Some decisions you don't make
A          G         A
 I guess it's like breathing and not wanting to
                G
There are some things you can't fake

D Em G
D Em G

D         Em
 I guess that it's typical
  G
To cling to memories you'll never get back again
D            Em
 And to sort through old photographs
   G
Of a summer long ago or a friend that you used to know
  D        Em
And there below his frozen face
  G
You wrote the name and that ancient date, that ancient date
    D            Em
And you can't believe that he's really gone
   G
When all that's left is a fucking song

  A          G       A
And I'm sorry about the phone call and waking you
         G
I know that it's late
  A       G            A
But thank you for talking because I needed to
            G
Some things just can't wait

D Em G (Yeah, some things just can't wait)

End on G
