  F                                    G 
Lean these pictures up against the wall 
  F                  G 
Won't remain in this room too long 
 F                                     G 
I count steps and sockets in the wall 
      F                          C 
To avoid the sound 
                               G 
Of your feet missing in the hall 
     F                             C 
To avoid the sound   
                                 G 
Of your feet missing in the hall 


 
C                            G                     F 
Don't think I didn't deserve what I got 
C                             G                    F 
Don't think I didn't deserve what I lost 
           C 
I run empty until I 
            G 
I feel nothing inside 
            F 
I run empty until I 

I feel nothing inside 
   C                                  G                   F 
Oh, don't think I didn't deserve what I got

Think nothing of mistakes that I've made 
F                  G 
All around change that I can't take 
  F                                    G 
The way I left you hanging every time 
           F                       C 
You avoid the sound 
                                  G 
Of my voice coming down the line 
           F                         C

Of my voice coming down the line

           C 
I run empty until I 
            G 
I feel nothing inside 
            F 
I run empty until I 

I feel nothing inside
