verse 1
Dm C
You know I find it hard to sleep when
F Bb
I'm sleeping by myself
Dm C
And I'm lying in the spare room

Thinking I should be somewhere else

Cause you know when weve been drinking
F B
We can sabotage ourselves
Like smashing up the kitchen

Now there’s nothing that seems to help
Bb C
Now I don’t want to wake you up
Dm
Tell you that I'm leaving town
F
I already packed my stuff

Can't go back now
C
But the way you look
Dm
Brings me straight back down

I don’t want to wake you up right now

verse 2
Dm C
You're breaking out the windows
F Bb
While I was tearing down the doors
Dm C
Now I'm picking up the ash tray
Dm Bb
That you threw against the wall
Dm
Just we take and we take just a little more
C Dm Bb
I have no idea what we’re fighting for
Dm
Now I’m standing right here right outside your door

Now I know... Now I know
