[Intro]

B F# G#m F# E G#m F# (x2)

[Verse 1]

        B
It's a sordid sort of feeling
F#        G#m
When you learn to live with spite.
F#      E
It's a desperate kind of living
            G#m             F#
When you're burning up the night.
         B
Getting sick of all the drinking
F#       G#m
Getting sicker every day.
               E              
Cause I can't say the things I 
   F#            B
really want to say

[Verse 2]

B                        F#   
I remember when Chicago seemed a 
    G#m
million miles away
F#      E                        
I was chained by quiet longing on
       G#m          F#
 that Independence Day
   B                        F#    
A month across the country built 
   G#m
in all I learned from you
   E                        F#    
I sang those thoughts away just 
             B
like I always do.

[Chorus]

B                                 
It's been an age, it's been an 
               E
era, it's been a lifetime.
           G#m          F#
But I'll remember every step
               B                 
I'll cross my heart when we cross 
                    E
paths across the country
               G#m                
Please just remember I'm not the one
F#
 who left, and I never will

[Verse 3]

         B                         
All the aches and shits and quivers
  F#    G#m
 hurdle in with morning light
F#     E                         
and a somber sense of longing 
         G#m                F#
steals my breath and grips my spine
       B                    F#    
I can feel the salty ocean suck 
    G#m
the moisture from my skin
             E                 F# 
And I know staying here will 
         B
surely do us in

[Verse 4]

B/C   C#m                     E 
And I walked on down to that 
                     B         F# 
lonely shoal, where my best hopes 
   E
go to die
         C#m              E       
I thought I will keep you in my 
             B         F#     E
pen, until the ink wells all go dry
          B              F#       
And I'll keep it like a secret 
    B
every day

[Chorus]

B                                 
It's been an age, it's been an 
               E
era, it's been a lifetime.
           G#m          F#
But I'll remember every step
               B                 
I'll cross my heart when we cross 
                    E
paths across the country
               G#m                
Please just remember I'm not the one
F#
 who left
                 B
And I never will
