[Verse 1]
C                       G
I've been watching that one scene
         D
from the Basketball Diaries
Em
Over and over again
C                        G
And I’m thinking that it could have been me
G                                   Em
If I had just made a different turn instead
                   G
I'm feeling like I dodged a bullet
Bm                         C
But I walked into another line of fire
C                              G
Sure it didn't kill me but goddamn
G                               Em
if it hasn’t been hurting for a while
G Bm Em

[Verse 2]
C                    G
And I'm sorry if I'm being too pushy
Bm               G          Em
I'm sorry if I'm coming off insane
C                      G
I just need someone to turn to when all my
Bm                                             C
friends figure out I'm not worth their time of day
G
So if you could just respond
G                  Em  G   Bm G
once that would be gr  eat

[Chorus]
C                               Em         G
And it's a felony in Florida to own a fake ID
C                           Bm
So tell me am I guilty if I change if no one is near me
C                         Bm                            C
And if I'm guilty, baby, tell me that you’re not guilty too
C
’Cause if I'm doomed to be locked
Bm                  G            C    Em
 up at least let me think that I knew you
Bm                  C    Em  Bm
Let me think that I knew you OU OU

[Verse 3]
C                    G
I’m fishing into the zeitgeist and I'm only pulling out clichés
       C                 G
I can't shake this empty feeling that
       Bm                 C
I'm an actor on a setting stage
           G                                             Em
I’m seeing white and I am not sure how much longer I can go
   G            Bm
Reimagining old faces
      G           C
Faces you already know

[Chorus]
C                               Em         G
And it's a felony in Florida to own a fake ID
C                           Bm
So tell me am I guilty if I change if no one is near me
C                         Bm                            C
And if I'm guilty, baby, tell me that you’re not guilty too
C
’Cause if I'm doomed to be locked
Bm                  G            C    Em
 up at least let me think that I knew you
Bm                  C    Em  Bm
Let me think that I knew you OU OU

[Bridge]
C             Em          Bm   G
Watch Carroll bang on the door frame
C          Em              G
Reduced to sobbing and his mother’s name
C            Em
And maybe in the next it'll
G                            C
find himself a little bit and fix this
C                Em
God knows that I feel the same

[Outro]
(Rubato)
C                               G
