Souvenir

A D E

A
I found a souvenir
In things I collected
D
The effect it had on me
E
Turned out distressing.
A
Instead of focusing on my past rejoicing
D                      E
It just reminded me of awkward awkward emotions.
A
Thoughts of my innocence
Like alienation
D                E
No self identity and massive confusion.
A
I wanted desperately to think of the good times
D
Guess I remember too much.
E
Guess I would rather look at
A
The path in front of me that's holding something new.
A                           D
Does it really do the trick when you're reunited
G
Does it make you stop and think
C
Things weren't meant to click.
A                           D
Does it really do the trick to be taken back
G
Does it make you stop and think
C
Of all the things you lacked.
A             D
Time can give and take away at will
G
Don't look back and don't stand still
E
Cause time will bleed you dry.

A
A little sympathy please for the petty bastards
D                         E
Who feel their glory days behind them.
So far behind them
A
The person that they thought made such a difference
D
Isn't even who they are now
E
And they refuse to see how
A
Everyday's another chance to mend a petty life.
A                           D
Does it really do the trick when you're reunited
G
Does it make you stop and think
C
Things weren't meant to click.
A                           D
Does it really do the trick to be taken back

C
Of all the things you lacked.
A             D
Time can give and take away at will
G
Don't look back, don't stand still
E
Because time will bleed you dry.
E
Bled dry
D#
Bled dry of motivation
Bled dry of motivation
E
Bled dry
D#
A desert of ambition, a desert of ambition.
E
Bled dry
D#
Discarded by the wayside, discarded by the wayside,
E                     D#
Bled dry and left for dead
