[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 F# B Cause I can't say the things I really want to say

[Verse 2]
B F# G#m I remember when Chicago seemed a million miles away
F# E G#m F# I was chained by quiet longing on that Independence Day
B F# G#m A month across the country built in all I learned from you
E F# B I sang those thoughts away just like I always do. [Chorus]
B E It's been an age, it's been an era, it's been a lifetime.
G#m F# But I'll remember every step
B E I'll cross my heart when we cross paths across the country
G#m F# Please just remember I'm not the one who left, and I never will [Interlude] B F# G#m F# E G#m F# (x2) [Verse 3]
B F# G#m All the aches and shits and quivers hurdle in with morning light
F# E G#m F# and a somber sense of longing steals my breath and grips my spine
B F# G#m I can feel the salty ocean suck the moisture from my skin
E F# B And I know staying here will surely do us in [Verse 4]
B/C C#m E B F# E And I walked on down to that lonely shoal, where my best hopes go to die
C#m E B F# E I thought I will keep you in my pen, until the ink wells all go dry
B F# B And I'll keep it like a secret every day [Chorus]
B E It's been an age, it's been an era, it's been a lifetime.
G#m F# But I'll remember every step
B E I'll cross my heart when we cross paths across the country
G#m F# Please just remember I'm not the one who left
B And I never will
