[Intro]
C  Dm  Am  Am
C  Dm  Am  Am


[Verse 1]
C        Dm    Am  Am
  Smeared black ink
C      Dm             Am        
  your palms are sweaty and I'm 
       Am
barely listening
C       Dm  Am   Am
  to last demands
C                    Dm   
  I'm staring at the asphalt 
            Am             Am
wondering what's buried underneath


[Chorus 1]
F      C  G  G
 Where I  am...

F  C  G  G

F      C  G  G
 Where I  am...

F  C  G  G

[Verse 2]
C         Dm  Am     Am
  I'll wear my badge...
C                      Dm        
  A vinyl sticker with big block 
          Am       Am
letters adherent to my chest
C           Dm       Am     Am
  That tells your new friends
C        Dm           Am         
  I am a visitor here... I am not 
 Am
permanent
C           Dm  Am   Am
  And the on-ly  thing
C    Dm  Am  Am
 keep-ing me dry is


[Chorus 2]
F                             C  
(Where I  am...) You seem so out 
          G               G
of context in this gaudy apartment 
complex
F                             C  
(Where I  am...)  A stranger with
              G                G
 your door key explaining that I am 
just visiting
F                          C     
(Where I  am...) And I am finally
       G              G
 seeing why I was the one worth 
leaving
F      C  G               G
            Why I was the one worth 
leaving

 your door key explaining that I am

(Where I  am...) The district 
                G          G
sleeps alone tonight after the bars 
turn out their lights
F                             C  
(Where I  am...) And send the 
           G         G
autos swerving into the loneliest 
evening
F                           C
