it’s been two and one quarter weeks  
since the week I was first gone  
               Dbm 
it’s not that long 
                E 
its not that long 
and when I get to you,  
make everything alright  
don’t want to have to fight  
to hold you late at night  
              Dbm 
but I just might 
       E 
I just might 
now the voices in my head are loud  
    Dbm 
I’ve said too much  
can’t face this crowd  
   B 
I cannot put the words back  
                 E 
in my mouth 
how I hoped that you  
would understand  
        Dbm 
when it comes from you  
it’s twice as bad  
             B 
you’re the worst I ever had  
got the worst I ever had  
         E 
out of me 
Dbm     A 
out of me,  
Dbm     B 
out of me, 
Dbm B A E 
nothing to eat 
so-  
F#     
happy new year,  
A 
Washington  
   Dbm 
I never learned  
    B 
to hold my tongue  
 F# 
I wish I could  
   A 
I would play dumb  
      E 
with you 
        F# 
and all these nights  
      A 
I’ve spent alone  
   Dbm 
in front of you  
  B 
I should have known  
    F# 
the things we pay  
  A                     E 
to get back what we own 

E 
5,772  
it will be at least another week  
until I make it back to you  
           Dbm 
and if I do  
    E 
if I do 
we can fashion a rope  
from all of my regrets  
how I saw you  
in every person that I met  
              Dbm 
I’ll let you tie me to the bed  
           E 
to the bed 
’cause I’m not as strong  
as I am scared  
    Dbm 
I’ll sit for you  
in the wooden chair  
              B 
you don’t have to hold me down  
                              E 
I’ll help you cut my hair myself  
Dbm      A 
out of you,  
Dbm      B 
out of you, 
                   Dbm B A     E  
there’s nothing sweet 
F#     
happy new year,  
A 
Washington  
   Dbm 
I never learned  
    B 
to hold my tongue  
 F# 
I wish I could  
   A 
I would play dumb  
      E 
i would 
        F# 
and all these nights  
      A 
I’ve spent alone  
   Dbm 
in front of you  
  B 
I should have known  
    F# 
the things we pay  
  A                     E        B 
to get back what we own 

F# 
a Folsom man  
     A 
with just one fear  
Dbm 
I don’t want to die  
                B 
with no one knowing  
I was here  
     F# 
I still hear that in my ears  
       A                       low E       B 
I still hear that in my ears 
    F# 
so Massachusetts,  
      A 
and then New York  
    Dbm 
it’s gonna take  
  B 
a little work 
   F#                  A 
to get back to the place I was  
 low E 
before 

E

finally  
out of the eater  
you got  
something you could eat  
and  
         Dbm B A   E 
was it me? 
Dbm  B A 
tie me to the rock  
Dbm B A 
tie me to the rock 
see what  
            F#  A  low E 
I’ve got 
    F# 
so happy new year,  
A 
Washington  
Dbm 
I never learned  
B 
to hold my tongue  
F# 
I tried  
so hard  
     A 
but now I’m done  
with it
