[Verse 1]
               Em          D/F#
Storm took the phone lines down
D/F#         G          C
And now your ride can't call
C          G        D/F#    C
And you're bouncing off the walls
C              Em        D/F#
I stretched my arms real wide
D/F#     G          C
Tried to break your fall
C           Em  D/F#   C
But you got up, mad as hell and told
           D/F#
 Me that I had it all


D/F#       Em        D/F#
I tried to heal your wounds
D/F#    G     C
Just to say I helped
C       Em       D/F#       C
Just to say that some small fame
              D/F#
Ain't made me someone else


D/F#       Em        D/F#
It ain't a high road now
D/F# G      C
Just uneven ground
C         Em  D/F# C
And I ain't even around to slow your
  D/F#
 Speeding down


[Pre-Chorus]
D/F#               Em         D/F#
You told me, "If a lie turned true
D/F#     G           C
A lie it would still be
C           Em      D/F# C
You ain't a goddamn hero now 'cause
           D/F#
You cry on live TV"


[Chorus]
                     C
But at least I got a soul still
C               G
Even if im in a bad place
G                  B7
Even if I'm eating fast food
B7             Em         D/F#
Sleeping at my dad's place

D/F#               C
I'm happy for your haircut
C                     G
I'm glad you got your act cleaned
G                      B7
You're showing up like bad news
B7                  Em
And leaving like a bad dream
D/F#                    C
Help me if it helps you sleep


[Verse 2]
                Em       D/F#
Don't need your cosign now
D/F#       G          C
Oh, we get along just fine
C               Em
For two hundred years, we laid
D/F#          C
Bricks in the dirt, put solar
          D/F#
In the copper mines


D/F#          Em       D/F#
You grew your hair out long
D/F#                 G     C
Now you think you're Jesus Christ
C           Em     D/F#
There ain't nobody mistaking your
C                    D/F#
Guilt for some great sacrifice


D/F#                 Em        D/F#
Got bored in the New Hampshire Space
D/F#            G        C
Left us for the New York Times
C       Em      D/F#          C
Now you stumble around like a ghost
               D/F#
Telling people how you died


[Pre-Chorus]
D/F#          Em         D/F#
Told me, "if a lie turned true
D/F#     G           C
A lie it would still be
C           Em      D/F# C
You ain't a goddamn hero now 'cause
           D/F#
You cry on live TV"


[Chorus]
                     C
But at least I got a soul still
C                G
Even if I'm in a bad place
G                  B7
Even if I'm eating fast food
B7              Em          D/F#
Sleeping at my dad's place

D/F#               C
I'm happy for your haircut
C                      G
I'm glad you got your act cleaned
G                      B7
You're showing up like bad news
B7                 Em
And leaving like a bad dream
D/F#                    C      G
Help me if it helps you sleep

G                       B7     Em
Help me if it helps you write
D/F#                    C     G
Help me if it helps you leave
G                       B7    Em
Help me if it helps you lie


[Bridge]
Em            D/F#           C
Crying in the bathroom, baby
C              G
Drove your ass home
G                         B7
You walked into a haunted house
B7                   Em
And got angry at the ghosts
Em           D/F#             C
We were fine without you, baby
C                     G
Long after you're gone
G                         B7
Spare us all the pity, love
B7                     Em  D/F# C
Save it for your microphone


[Chorus]
C                    C
But at least I got a soul still
C                G
Even if I'm in a bad place
G                  B7
Even if I'm eating fast food
B7             Em          D/F#
Sleeping at my dad's place

D/F#               C
I'm happy for your haircut
C                     G
I'm glad you got your act cleaned
G                      B7
You're showing up like bad news
B7                 Em
And leaving like a bad dream
D/F#                    C      G
Help me if it helps you sleep
G                       B7     Em
Help me if it helps you write
D/F#                    C     G
Help me if it helps you leave
G                       B7    Em
Help me if it helps you lie


[Final]
Em           D/F#            C
We were fine without you, baby
