Rough Draft

A               E              F#m  D
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
A               E             C
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there

A                         E
So you wrote it down I'm supposed to care
                 F#m
Even though it's never there
             D
Sorry if I'm not prepared

A                               E
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
                  F#m
For me and all my thoughts of you
                D
It's eating me alive to leave you

A          E                      F#m
Maybe it's childish and maybe its wrong
               D                           A
But so is your blank stare is lieu of this song
           E                      C
Maybe it's childish and maybe its wrong

A                 E                F#m   D
Don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
A              E                  D                  A
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
A                 E                F#m   D
Don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
A              E                  D
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this

A                   E
I'm breathing in your skin tonight
            F#m
Quiet is my loudest cry
                 D                               A
Wouldn't want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside

A                        E
And if it's healthier to leave you be
                  F#m
May your sickness come and set me free
                D
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me

A5 C#5 D5 E5
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...

A              E                        F#m
I'm writing my own words, my own little stage
            D                      A
My own epic drama, my own scripted page
                  E                              F#m
I'll send you the rough draft, I'll seal it with tears
             D                   C
Maybe you'll read it and I'll reappear
A                     E                      F#m
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash
                   D                            A
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
                   E                       F#m
Oh, I haven't even sought to overcome this desire
              D                          D      Dm
Of friendly intentions and fare-weathered smiles

      A                 E                F#m   D
And I don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
A              E                  D                  A
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
A                 E                F#m   D
Don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
A              E                  D
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this

song

A             E             F#m  D
Like Saturday night I'll be go- -one
A             E             F#m  D
Like Saturday night I'll be go- -one
A             E             F#m  D
Like Saturday night I'll be go- -one
A             E             D           Dm     A
Like Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there
