Well I’m scraping the bottom of yesterday’s bucket again
I wore out my memories and then I just played them to shreds
I’ll spend my tomorrows my head bent in sorrow
my heart torn with pain and regret
And all the same it’s my same old refrain:
I swear I won’t be-gin again
and everyone says
just put it to bed
it all worked out for the best
but how could they know
that I love you so
and I won’t stop til I’m dead
I gave up forever I gave up tomorrow
for good
I gave up thinkin’ I could pull it together
I never could
I gave up on new love
I gave up on hope I gave up on faith
but never on ghosts
And I gave up thinkin’
I could ever begin again
— I won’t begin again…

Notes/Memo
Well I’m scraping the bottom of yesterday’s bucket again
I wore out my memories and then I just played them to shreds
I’ll spend my tomorrows my head bent in sorrow
my heart torn with pain and regret
And all the same it’s my same old refrain:
I swear I won’t be-gin again
I IV I I
I IV I I
IV iii IV V
I iii IV – V I
and everyone says
just put it to bed
it all worked out for the best
but how could they know
that I love you so
and I won’t stop til I’m dead
IV – V I -vi IV – V I
IV – V I -vi IV – V vi
I gave up forever I gave up tomorrow
for good
I gave up thinkin’ I could pull it together
I never could
I gave up on new love
I gave up on hope I gave up on faith
but never on ghosts
And I gave up thinkin’
I could ever begin again
— I won’t begin again…
