Verse 1
D
G
shoulder woke me up in the middle of the night
Em
An Autumn leaf was scraping
against my window
Like it was trying hard to get inside
G
C
And then a ghost that I had met
D
before kept me up 'til dawn
G
And everything I thought was
C
right was suddenly all wrong
D
He said, "Your score is
looking pretty bad"
And then he asked me what
it was that I had to show
G
Verse 2
So I went running down a list of things
G
but on some of them I lied
Em
Cause I felt I had to justify each breath
G
that I'd been breathing in this life
C
Then I realized I was playing
D
into someone else's rules,
G
Trying to keep my score up in
C
a game I did not choose
D
Then I looked that ghost
straight in the eye
And said "You'd better not be
coming back by again"
G
Verse 3
And it's true that I don't
D
As you tell me that I'm supposed to

Verse 4
G
October's leaves were dancing 'round
Em
But November's come and gone now
And they're lying in the gutter
C
They're gonna make their way out to the
D
ditch or someday to the sea,
G
They'll get to where they're going
C
without the help of you or me
D
And if each life is just a grain of sand
I'm telling you man,
this grain of sand is mine
G
Verse 5
And it's true that I don't
