G Am Em
Smeared black ink
G Am Em
Your palms are sweaty
G G C Am Em
Am I'm barely listening to last demands
G D Am
Im starin' at the asphalt wondering
Em C
what's buried underneath
G D C G D C G D C G D
G Am Em
I'll wear my badge
G Am
A vinyl sticker with the big block letters
Em
Adhering to my chest
G Am Em
That tells your new friends
G Am
I am a visitor here
Em
I am not permanent
G Am Em G Em
The only thing keeping me dry is
[Chorus]
C G D
You seem so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex
C G
A stranger with your door key
D
Explaining that I'm just visiting
C G
And I am finally seeing
D
Why I was the worth leaving
G D Em C G
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
G D C G D C G D C G D
C G D
You seem so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex
C G
A stranger with your door key
D
Explaining that I'm just visiting
C G
And I am finally seeing
D
Why I was the worth leaving
G D Em C G
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
G D C G D Em C G D C G D Em
C G
The district sleeps alone tonight
D
After the bars turn out their lights
C G
And send the autos swerving
D
into the lonliest evening
C G
And I am finally seeing
D
Why I was the one worth leaving
C G
D
Why I was the one worth leaving
G Am Em C
D.C sleeps alone tonight
