Intro Dm C BbDm C Bb Eastern time has gotten the best of me Dm C Bb I blew my voice out giving the eulogy Dm F Bb My broken body, my aging knees Dm F Bb I haven't stood still since I was twenty-threeVerse 1:
Gm C Bb And you were there lying through your teeth C Gm Always going after the cheap heat C Bb Swearing that you're coming to meet mePre-Chorus
Dm Meet me on the fire escape C Bb If you're coming to save me Dm I've been lying awake C Bb Staring out at the dead street Dm - Bb I'm alone (Ohh) F The cold air let me know Dm - Bb I'm on my own (Ohh) Dm You're never gonna showDm C Bb Well, I got caught in the riptide that follows you Dm C Bb I’d pull my teeth out just cause you asked me to Dm F Bb I can't forgive you, no matter what I do Dm F Bb I hate that about me, but I know it's trueVerse 2:
Gm C Bb I'm a sweater that you've given to Goodwill C Gm Or lied about and sent to the landfill Am Bb I'm the sucker left holding my breath stillPre-Chorus
Dm Meet me on the fire escape C Bb If you're coming to save me Dm I've been lying awake C Bb Staring out at the dead street Dm Bb I'm alone (Ohh) F The cold air let me know Dm Bb I'm on my own (Ohh) Dm You're never gonna show( F C Bb Dm ) ( F C Bb Dm ) F Goddamn it all C Tell me what's so wrong with being alone Bb Oh, no, Goddamn it all Dm Tell me what's it feel like seeing a ghost F Oh, no, Goddamn it all C Tell me what's so wrong with being alone Bb No, no, Goddamn it all C Goddamn it all Dm Goddamn it allBridge:
Dm Meet me on the fire escape C Bb If you're coming to save me Dm I've been lying awake C Bb Staring out at the dead street Dm Bb I'm alone (Ohh) F The cold air let me know Dm Bb I'm on my own (Ohh) Dm You're never gonna show
