Intro: alternate C & G 

G 
In all good faith and sentiment 

I can’t believe somehow 
Em 
That I haven’t died of grief or something 

Since you left this town 
C                              G 
I’m all undecorated, cigarettes, 
  D 
And standard white apartment walls 


G 
At 3 am and 4 am 

Its impossible to sleep 
Em 
I’d do anything to hold you 

And feel you next to me 
C 
But I’m all sore eyes and beasts 
          G                           D 
At my backdoor, pulling out their claws 


Em                   C 
So yes I will take those 
G                  D 
Whatever else they give me 
Em                   C 
If it stops the nightmares 
G                  D 
It probably won’t kill me 
Em                 C              G                      D 
And if I slow it down I’ll end up on one of my accuser’s knives 
C                                 D 
So I only stop to tell her that I love her  

At the red lights 


Em C G D 


G 
And all in all I’m wrecked you see 

From years of piping down 
Em 
And piping up about the things 

That never mattered anyhow 
C 
When you change too much you lose yourself 
G                                       D 
And some times you just can’t get them back 


Em 
And you might be an angel or a devil, I don’t know 
C 
But if in fact you are now love 

Well I’ve been there before 
G 
I’ve fallen on my face and I’ve been burned so near to death  
                D 
I probably wont live through it 

Anyhow 


Em                   C 
So yes I will take those 
G                  D 
Whatever else they give me 
Em                   C 
If it stops the nightmares 
G                  D 
It probably won’t kill me 
Em                 C              G                      D 
And if I slow it down I’ll end up on one of my accuser’s knives 
C                                 D 
So I only stop to tell her that I love her  


Em C G D 


Em                   C 
So yes I will take those 
G                  D 
Whatever else they give me 
Em                   C 
If it stops the nightmares 
G                  D 
It probably won’t kill me 
Em                 C              G                      D 
And if I slow it down I’ll end up on one of my accuser’s knives 
C                                 D 
So I only stop to tell her that I love her  


Em C G D 

End on G
