[Verse 1]

    G
In all good faith and sentiment, I can’t believe somehow
        Em7
That I haven’t died of grief or something since you left this town
        Cadd9             G
I’m all undecorated, cigarettes,
                     D              Dsus4  D  Dsus4
And standard white apartment walls

[Verse 2]

    G
And 3 am and 4 am, it's impossible to sleep
        Em7
I’d do anything to hold you, to feel you next to me
             Cadd9
But I’m all sore eyes and beasts
       G                            D   Dsus4  D  Dsus4
At my backdoor, pulling out their claws

[Chorus]

    Em7             Cadd9
So yes I will take those
     G              D
Whatever else they give me
Em7              Cadd9
If it stops the nightmares
    G              D
It probably won’t kill me
    Em7          Cadd9
And if I slow it down
            G                       D
I’ll end up on one of my accuser’s knives
     Cadd9                         D
So I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights

[Post-Chorus]

Em7 Cadd9 G  D
.............At the red lights

[Verse 3]

     G                                                      G/F#
And all in all I’m wrecked you see from years of piping down
     Em7
And piping up about the things that never mattered anyhow
          Cadd9
When you change too much you lose yourself
     G                                 D    Dsus4  D  Dsus4
And sometimes you just can’t get them back

[Verse 4]

     G                                             G/F#
And you might be an angel or a devil, I don’t know
    Em7
But if in fact you are now, love, well, I’ve been there before
      Cadd9                           G
I’ve fallen on my face and I’ve been burned so near to death
                 D             Dsus4     D      Dsus4
I probably wont live through it.........anyhow

[Chorus]

    Em7             Cadd9
So yes I will take those
     G              D
Whatever else they give me
Em7              Cadd9
If it stops the nightmares
    G              D
It probably won’t kill me
    Em7          Cadd9
And if I slow it down
            G                       D
I’ll end up on one of my accuser’s knives
     Cadd9                         D
So I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights
