This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

G/D D

Can't find the reason, can't find the way,

G/D D A Asus4

Guess it's not you and me, only dogs have their day.

G/D

Another case of words that melt,

D A Asus4

It's not a question of right nightmares.

C

In broad daylight,

G D

Season crash, season burn,

A C

Survive another turn.

G D A

Now I'm reaching out, it's true.

G/D D

And you don't see me, I'm catching on to you.

G/D D A

You don't see me, I'm catching on to you.

Took a break to get that far,

Like the sound from a hundred dollar guitar

Bought from an old catalogue

Yesterday's dust and heartache.

'Cause the pieces fall like candy when you're young, medicine

When you're old,

There's no reason or rhyme,

Sidestepping around

On an elevator climb.

And you don't see me, I'm catching on to you.

Another jail, another burnout inside,

Skeleton low, left to die.

Take whatever lies ahead,

Good with the bad, and leave the rest.

And you don't see me, I'm catching on to you.

You don't see me, I'm catching on to you.

Catching on, catching on.
