         G                  D 
You can cuss me and you can spit 
            Cadd9                 G 
break your windows, throw your phones and shit 
     G 
I don't care 
       D                    Cadd9 
I just want to be left alone 

           G              D 
I tried to tell you how I feel 
                 Cadd9                 G 
and I tried to get down to where it's real 
           G 
and if it ain't there,  
       D                Cadd9 
then I just assume get gone 

               G                  D 
'cause we're a little off center, off to the left 
Em               C 
Out in the wilderness tryin' to cut a path 
G                D               Cadd9 
Covered up, it's covered up and overgrown 
  G                  D 
A little off center, off to the right 
Em                      C 
Two times a sinner, the saints in the twilight 
G             D               Cadd9 
waving me in, waving me back home 


   G                   D             Cadd9          G 
I don't care what they say, I never cared much anyway 
         G                    D                  Cadd9        
When I'm broken down, I'll break down to the ground 
          G                 D                 Cadd9             G 
Yeah sometimes it makes me sick, how we both cut down to the quick 
     G                 D                          Cadd9        
Yeah we both know just what to say to bring the other down 

             G                  D 
When we're a little off center, off to the left 
Em               C 
Out in the wilderness tryin' to cut a path 
G                D               Cadd9 
Covered up, it's covered up and overgrown 
  G                  D 
A little off center, off to the right 
Em                      C 
Two times a sinner, the saints in the twilight 
G             D               Cadd9 
waving me in, waving me back home 



Em                  C                  G               D 
 So baby put your best dress on, we're going out tonight 
Em             C                 G                       D 
  Forget about everything wrong, it'll be gone in the morning light 
Em           C                  G                  D 
  Knock me down all night long, I might break your will 
        C                 D 
But you know I'll love you still 

             G                  D                  (strum each chord once on this line) 
We're just a little off center, off to the left 
     (Vocals only - this line only) 
Out in the wilderness tryin to cut a path 
G                D               Cadd9    
Covered up, it's covered up and overgrown 
  G                  D 
A little off center, off to the right 
Em                      C 
Two times a sinner, the saints in the twilight 
G             D               Cadd9 
waving me in, waving me back home
