DRAIN
in e minor
By Doug Rausch
4/4 ♩= 60
I don’t really care anymore [m(#5/9)]
I know I am living but what for [m(#5/9)]
I’m not really here anymore [m9 / m9(#5)]
Nothing really much matters to me anymore [m9 / m(#5/9) / m(#5/9/11)]
I don’t really care anymore
Verse I:
It’s all in our minds
The games that we play
Take a look outside it’s a day
It’s all the unknown
It’s all up to us
Release us from the worry and the fuss
No turning back…
Chorus:
No wasting time today
Leave it behind your way
All that matters
Is all there is
Verse IIa: m(#5/9), m7(#5/11), m9(#5), m(#5/9/11)
(I don’t really care, etc….)
Verse IIb:
Extraneous
It’s a learned behavior
Unhook the wires don’t get any crazier
Get to the point
If there’s one at all
The tick of time is set no matter how hard you call
No turning back…
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Verse III:
There is no room
For philosophy
In a world that’s pressed for time to be
Simplify the means
Don’t be complicated
Get a couple of breaths or further frustrated
It’s fun to try to figure out
But we never will
It seems to me these days it's just a slower kill
No turning back...
(Chorus)
Go on make up your mind
Go on leave me behind
Let’s see if
I’ll be alright
Coda:
Quadrants 1, 3, 4: m-m(#5/9) all 4 times (4th time no 9th in acoustic guitar)
Quadrant 2: m-m#5, m-m#5, m-m#5, m-m(#5/9)
(1st quadrant instrumental)
2nd quadrant:
I’m just trying to be
And I don’t know how to be
Feels like there may not be
Enough time for me
3rd quadrant:
I just wanna relax
Feel the feeling of free
Yeah but down came the ax
Made little pieces of me
4th quadrant:
You know my heart beats so fast
My nerves won’t leave me alone
Haunted by the past
I will not pick up the phone
I wanna run for cover
I’m not like the others
You know I need my sleep
I need my sleeeeeeeeeeeep
