I’m Tired

For Jim
Music and lyrics by RAW Boswin

4/4 time 75 bpm

G | G D | G | G D |

Verse 1

| G | D D7 | G/B

I'm tired, I picked up steam for a while, but I'm broken,

| C | G

And I'm rough around the edges, and just a little too outspoken.

| D D7 | G/B

And I'm in trouble all the time, even though I'm trying to do the right thing

| C | Cm |

I'm in the eye of the storm, and in the middle of the thunder and the lightning

Chorus

G | Em | C | D D7 | G

It happens all the time, a simple twist of fate, The things that cross my mind, I think but I won't say…

| Em | C | Cm D | G

Just tell me I’m forgiven, for leaving you behind, And find the strength to let me go, cuz I’m tired

Verse 2

~~~ D | G | D D7 | G/B |

And even though I'm tired, I wake up early in the morning and then I drift off

C | G

I tell myself again today I think I'm finally gonna lift off

| D D7 | B/G

And from my rocket to the stars, I'm never looking back because I'm pissed off

| C | Cm

That when I fly too close to sun, I guess my wings are gonna drip off

Chorus 2

G | Em | C | D D7 | G

It happens all the time, a simple twist of fate, The things that cross my mind, I think but I won't say…

| Em | C | Cm

Just tell me I’m forgiven, for leaving you behind, And find the strength to let me go…

| E7 | Am Am7 | D/F# | G D/F# |

and sing me a lullaby

C |F F/E | Eb |Em C | D

Bridge
Sleep now my Darling, Close your eyes and let it slip away
Sweet dreams surround you, So be strong until we meet again,
We'll be together, and we'll live forever and a day…
Hush now baby don’t you cry, Mama’s gonna sing you a lullaby

Verse 3

| G | D D7 | G/B |

I’m tired, I kept my faith for a while but its jaded

C |G |

I took my lumps with a smile, but I’ve faded

D D7 | G/B | C | Cm

So I’ll turn my eyes to the Sun and I’ll drift off… Lift off!

Lead break

| G | Em | C | D D7 | G | Em | C | D D7 |

Chorus

G | Em | C | D D7 | G

It happens all the time, a simple twist of fate, The things that cross my mind, I think but I won't say…

| Em | C | Cm D | G

Just tell me I’m forgiven, for leaving you behind, And find the strength to let me go,
And keep the faith and always know
That I will always love you so…
