Notes:     Fantastic song, sounds great on solo guitar if you skip or just

Section A:
           [C]           [F]
As I try to fill all of my empty days,
          [C]                 [F]
I stumble 'round on through my memory's maze.
         [Am]           [G]
Of all my past, only the sadness stays.

        I went moping down by the bridge.
[C]                                 [F]
    I rode a bike in the snow to the mini-mart.
                [Am]            [G]
I thought of the ways that I had broke my own heart.

[C]    [F]    [C]    [F]

Well it's not for me to fill the blue sea with tears,
but when I think back on all the wasted years,
all the good cheer and all of the charm disappears.

I wore the exact same clothes for five days.
The bailbondsman gave me a smile.
I was just thinking of only my sins all the while.

Section A:
As I try to fill all of my empty days,

Of all my past, only the sadness stays.
