it’s been two and one quarter weeks
since the week I was first gone
               Dbm
it’s not that long
                E
its not that long
and when I get to you,
make everything alright
don’t want to have to fight
to hold you late at night
              Dbm
but I just might
       E
I just might
now the voices in my head are loud
    Dbm
I’ve said too much
can’t face this crowd
   B
I cannot put the words back
                 E
in my mouth
how I hoped that you
would understand
        Dbm
when it comes from you
it’s twice as bad
             B
you’re the worst I ever had
got the worst I ever had
         E
out of me
Dbm     A
out of me,
Dbm     B
out of me,
Dbm B A E
nothing to eat
so-
F#
happy new year,
A
Washington
   Dbm
I never learned
    B
to hold my tongue
 F#
I wish I could
   A
I would play dumb
      E
with you
        F#
and all these nights
      A
I’ve spent alone
   Dbm
in front of you
Continues after the ad
  B
I should have known
    F#
the things we pay
  A                     E
to get back what we own

E

it will be at least another week
until I make it back to you
           Dbm
and if I do
    E
if I do
we can fashion a rope
from all of my regrets
how I saw you
in every person that I met
              Dbm
I’ll let you tie me to the bed
           E
to the bed
‘cause I’m not as strong
as I am scared
    Dbm
I’ll sit for you
in the wooden chair
              B
you don’t have to hold me down
                              E
I’ll help you cut my hair myself
Dbm      A
out of you,
Dbm      B
out of you,
                   Dbm B A     E
there’s nothing sweet
F#
happy new year,
A
Washington
   Dbm
I never learned
    B
to hold my tongue
 F#
I wish I could
   A
I would play dumb
      E
i would
        F#
and all these nights
      A
I’ve spent alone
   Dbm
in front of you
  B
I should have known
    F#
the things we pay
  A                     E        B
to get back what we own

F#
a Folsom man
     A
with just one fear
Dbm
I don’t want to die
                B
with no one knowing
I was here
     F#
I still hear that in my ears
       A                       low E
       B
I still hear that in my ears
    F#
so Massachusetts,
      A
and then New York
    Dbm
it’s gonna take
  B
a little work
   F#                  A
to get back to the place I was
 low E
before
