| I re | member giving | up the gory | details |
| C | G | Em | A | |
| And it left me | tongue-tied (such and | elementary | sickness) |
| C | G | A | Em | |
| Now I | don't want to | think and I | don't want to | feel |
| C | G | A | Em | |
| I | wasn't | aware this was | part of the | deal |
| C | G | Em | A | |
| When I put my | finger on a | greater expec | tation |
| C | G | Em | A | |
| But just my | luck, I lack the | patience of a | statesman |
| C | G | A | Em | |
| And | all of my | language will | fail to con | vey |
| C | G | A | Em | |
| That I'm | terribly | twisted a | round what I | say |
| C | G | A | |
| And the | message that | I threw | away |
| C | G | Em | |
| I don't | have it | now |
| C | G | Em | |
| I don't | have it | now |
| C | G | Em | |
| I don't | have it | now |
| C | G | Em | |
| I don't | have it | now |
| So I keep hiding and it only grows to hurt me |
| But time is wasting and I'm watching it desert me |
| I'm digging a hole and I'm making it deep |
| And I'm starting to question the hours I keep |
| And the answer that I put to sleep |
| I don't have it now |
| I don't have it now |
| I don't have it now |
| I don't have it now |
| And so I'm writing with the hope that someone's reading |
| For all too likely runs the risk of me repeating |
| But I don't have the guts to prevent the decay |
| And I'm terribly twisted around what I say |
| And the courage that I threw away |
| I don't have it now |
| I don't have it now |
| I don't have it now |
| I don't have it now |
| C | G | Em | |
| I don't | have it | now |
| C | G | Em | |
| I don't | have it | now |
| C | G | A | |
| I don't | have it | now |
| C | G | Bb | C | G | |
| I don't | have it | now |
