[Verse 1]
F C/E F
I am lipsticked like a tart in the cherry red of Côtes-du-Rhône
Bb F C Bb
Prodding at the little fire of my phone
F C/E F
The lights behind the bar twinkle like they've always known
Bb F C Bb
Only desperate little men ever drink alone
[Chorus]
Dm
But as long as I'm here
Bb F C/E
I'm disappeared and it's vanishing
F C/E F C Bb F
I'm a missing person doing my thing
[Verse 2]
F C/E F
As midnight strikes I slip into this queen of dives
Bb F C Bb
And quietly oblivion like sleep arrives
F C/E F
And I couldn't live without this sewer of a place to be
Bb F C Bb
Alone with my onе obsession - me, me, mе
Bb F
Yeah, I can hear you remonstrate
C Bb
You fool, that's three
[Chorus]
Dm
What I'm doing here
Bb F C/E
Ain't drinking beer, it's vanishing
F C/E F C Bb
I'm a missing person doing my thing
F C/E F C Bb
Just a missing person doing my thing
[Bridge]
Am Bb
Missing the time I threw your crutch away
Am Bb
And ruined a perfect day
Bb C
Now it’s all ruins from here to daybreak
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F C/E F
So I hang on to my chair in this fish tank of sinking stars
Bb F C Bb
Pickling their memories in Mason jars
F C/E F
And I head out for a smoke leave your ghost there to hold my place
Bb F C Bb
And line up with the other cheaters in disgrace
Bb F C Bb
Like runners in exile from the human race
[Chorus]
Dm
But as long as I'm here
Bb F C/E
This last brutal year is vanishing
F C/E F C Bb
I’m a missing person doing my thing
F C/E F C Bb
Just a missing person doing my thing
[Outro]
F C/E F C Bb C F
Hmmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm
