I talk [C]too much, you know I told ’em [Am]everything
I told them that [Dm]I’d like to disappear
I told them that I [G]have nobody here
I [F]know that’s not [G]what I was [Am]taught [G](ah ah ah ah)
I [F]hope that some[G]day it’s not [Am]something (ah ah ah ah) [G]that I want
[F]As for the [G]moment [Am]I just want to be (ahh) [Dm]absent
