 VERSE 1: 
E  B  C#m  A
  I remember a rooftop making out
  downstairs the coppers screamed so loud
  I waited so long for that night
  Then I just turned away
 
B   C#m   A
  And I know every street on the West Side
E   B   A
  But I was lost, unfound, not right
  Maybe there's something wrong inside
 

 VERSE:
E  B  C#m  A
  Now I've got no where to go, my hands is all that I've got
  I'm so sorry for so many things, that I haven't said yet

B   C#m   A
  This is the waiting room I spend my whole life in
E   B   A
  They gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sins
  If I'm lucky, maybe I'll finish before the roof caves in


 INTERLUDE:
E   B   A
  I lost my life on the first try
  You found it miles down the line
  A swollen face with three first names
  You kiss the taste back in my tongue
  You suck the smoke out of my lungs
  And then we slept for days and days, and days
 
E   B   A
  When we woke up, my heart had choked up
  Had to say I love you way too soon
  But right there on your couch you loved me too
  Right there on your couch you loved me too

 VERSE:
E  B  C#m  A
  Nineteen and sober once or twice
  I caught some junky's bad advice
  Up to my eyes in others problems
  Couldn't see I'd never solve them
 
B   C#m   A
  Am I only skin and bone and piss and pills unknown
E   B   A
  I took my lousy shot at public recognition
  Could never pull the trigger if I wasn't shaking
