Verse 2
And we'd get drunk (F sharp minor) and kiss,
(B minor) (F sharp minor) our bod (E minor) ies twist like shoelaces (D major)
And (G major) we never came (F sharp minor) untied,
(E minor) I guess you were just (D major) my type (G major)
You know that sum (B minor) mer never (F sharp minor) stopped,
(E minor) I still pre (D major) tend I'm there (G major)
The band's (F sharp minor) in the living room,
(B minor) (E minor) the neighbors, they (D major) never cared (B minor)
Verse 3
So when I sat (B minor) behind the drum (A major) set,
(E minor) your heartbeat's what I tried to play (D major)
But (E minor) with the kick and snare (E flat major) so care (A major) less, (D major)
(A major) not (C sharpdim) in time (C major) (C minor)
So you got ahead of me, and I guess I'm still dragging (C major)

(E minor) how to deal with what (D major) life had dealt (G major)
He put a needle (B minor) (F sharpsus4) in (B minor) his

Who would've ima (F sharpsus4) gined (F sharp major) (F sharp minor) it,
(E minor) could've worked (D major) out so well? (G major)
Now he's a shape (F sharpsus4) that moves
(F sharp major) like echoes (E minor) through my empty (D major) room (G major)
Verse 5
And there's a voice (F sharp minor) that speaks,
(Esus4) like (E minor) someone's right (D major) behind me (G major)
I turned around (D major) and found (F sharp minor) (B minor) ex (F sharp minor) actly
(Esus4) what (E minor) you (D major) would expect (G major)
The clothes I left (F sharp minor) on my floor,
(Esus4) the (E minor) pa pers piled (D major) on my desk (G major)
But where the (B minor) ink is wet, (F sharp minor) the cause,
(Esus4) effect (E minor) s, what's (D major) meant by it? (G major)
Verse 6
The story that is (F sharp minor) incomplete,
(E minor) the picture's left (D major) unfin (B minor) ished
So I am writing my own (G major) ending, (A major)
(E minor) I let my pen bleed black or blue (D major) (Asus4) (A major) (D major) (E minor)
And (B minor) I will (Bsus4) col or (B minor) in (E minor) the (A major) meaning,
(E minor) it will be gold and green and true (D major)
