                    Bbmaj7      
The longer that I'm out here the 
            F
better you sound

                          Bbmaj7 
You're scrunching up your face in 
                C
this picture I found

                      Bbmaj7       
And I'm chasing after you, steadily
        Dm
 losing ground

C             Bb (strum twice)
I don't wanna forget so I'm writing 
it down

#Verse 1#

Bb
Have you ever? No, never never?
F
I find that hard to believe
Bb
So let's burn the furniture
                F
To see how angry a fire could make 
me

#Verse 2#
Continues after the ad

                         Bb     
Now you say that there's someone 
          C           Dm           F
that you need to reconnect with

                      Bb           
Some scarecrow from high school 
      C               Dm        F
that you loved but never slept with

              Bb                
A baby with a pipe dream playing 
 C                 Dm   F
hopscotch on your bandages

#Chorus#
########

                        Bbmaj7     
And I'm singing all his songs while
                 F
 I sleep on your couch

                  Bbmaj7      
I'm coughing up a lung but I'm 
             C
covering my mouth

                       Bbmaj7
And I paint you on the wall

                       Dm
Yellow, red, green and brown

  C                Bb (strum twice)
I miss you all the time but I'm 
blocking it out

Bb
Are you better? No, never never?
F
What does that say about me?
                    Bb
Now let's break the smoke alarm
                 F
To see how scared locked windows'll 
make me

#Verse 4#
#########

                     Bb      
So you say there's a stranger 
         C             Dm          F
staring sideways in a deep freeze

                  Bb         
A loner draped in ivy playing 
 C               Dm          F
slumlord in his city dream

                Bb              
A faker with an art form pulling 
 C                   Dm           
magic tricks on the weak girls up 
     F
his sleeve

#Chorus#
########

                      Bbmaj7       
And I'm choking right along with 
              F
the words in my throat

                    Bbmaj7       
I'm falling back in love with the 
            C
letter you wrote

                       Bbmaj7      
And I think that I was wrong, but I
               Dm
 guess I don't know

C                  Bb (strum twice)
I figure that I'll wait until you 
tell me so

The longer that I'm out here
Dm    C
