D                    E                            F#m  
      G
Tonight I'll stay awake long enough to stop breathing
D       E                     F#m                        G
and I wonder how long it will take before I pass out drunk off night skies
  D         E        F#m            G
and lying on hills with wet grass below and blue black above-
D           E                            F#m           G
I will carry all the weights tonight
D                        E                                   
                          G
'cause I keep remembering the day that you said you might go crazy
                                                           D
if you spent one more minute with me and I just don't know-
    E             F#m                       G
is one more minute going to kill you now?

Stop before I say too much-

(chorus… repeat twice)
D                             E                   F#m         
G
so now I've been alone and it's been going but tomorrow might not come
D                          E              F#m       G
if I don't let it so don't forget the mornings that we spent deep inside out heads

staring at blank walls 'cause that's what counts
E                 G                        D
and I don't know but I'm trying to let you go
E                         G                                            
 D
but I can't cut so well these strings I have around my neck
E         G                       D
and I'm trying to let you know that I'm doing this by myself-


D                             E             F#m               
G
so don't forget we sent letters to ourselves without words
                     D     E      G F#m
and it was just to remember those days that we spent in our heads.
