verse 3 

    G                                       D 
God damn I missed you, Brooklyn. Caught my breath here on your streets. 
           Em                           C 
I left my winter coat in Charlotte. I’m cursing at the breeze. 
      G                                  C 
I’m hiding out from early March. Read the sign hung in our lobby. 
               G7                                  C 
The elevator broke last week. I walk the stairs to 403. 
         Em             D           C                 Em                   D          C 
I don’t blame you for changing the locks. I think I’d probably do the same if it  
were me. 
         Em             D          C         Em            D 
I’m gathering up the courage to knock. I’m not sure what I’m looking for. 
        C                   G7 
Do I want anything? I don’t want anything. 
          G                         D                                           Em 
Some college student answers and my heart crash-lands on the floor. He says he sublet  
this place last month. 
          C 
He never heard of me before. 
     G                                             C 
He sees me there collapsing and he opens up the door. 
               G7                               C 
It’s all new furniture. I barely recognize it anymore. 


(finger picked in the same manner from C chord to end ) 

              Em              D              C 
He says, I’m sorry, man. I wish that I knew more. 
         Em            D                C            Em                   D 
I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but no Diane, no, she don’t live  
here anymore. 
   G      C          G 
Anymore, Anymore, Anymore.. 
 G           C            G 
Diane don’t live here anymore.
