[Verse 1]
Bm                      A   G
  Other people can be so disappointing
   Bm                 A  D  G
I need to spend more time alone
     Bm                     A         G
What gives us the right to be so depressing?
  Bm            D   A    D        G
224 West 16th Street was our cathedral

[Refrain]
      F#m             Bm                     F#m                    G
These tears I cry for you must prove that I'm not the demon that I'm meant to be

[Verse 2]
Bm                                         A           G
  You say you love me though, just like you, I'm too shady
                 Bm                                 A  D              G
Knowing what you know, it must be hard to trust someone who's so similar to yourself
                    Bm                           A      G
Don't you know it's pointless to try and bully me into caring more
                               Bm                         A       D G
It's through no fault of your own, it's really just the boredom of being someone's captive

[Refrain]
      F#m             Bm                     F#m                    G
These tears I cry for you must prove that I'm not the demon that I'm meant to be

   We heard him say his name from the train

F#                              G
As usual, eyes dead from anti-anxiety meds
                 G#           A              G#
And the old gang grasping for air that's not there

E               F#
At least not as I can tell

D                        A
The misery loop that you sent me on
   D                    Em
It wrecked me for other summers
            D                Em
But now that I am free and almost alone
        F#m             A
Down in Chelsea, I feel better

[Verse 3]
    Bm                                 A        G
Why would you ask? Why should you care how I'm doing?
       Bm                  A         D       G
Do I bother you with those kinds of vapid questions anymore?
  Bm                                   A        G
I wanna matter, I wanna be your friend, not a poison
              Bm                  A D         G
This kind of love, our kind of love is so demoralizing
