Intro: G G G Cadd9 x
G G G
In dark corners and bars and ballrooms
G G G
Boys get childish and grow up too soon
Cadd9
I sit and stare at the Calgary girls
Cadd9
Pretty hair and their mummysâ'' pearls on
G G G
Till the fear wells up and hits me
G G G
Send letters to a comfortable history
Cadd9
I used to have it all
Cadd9 D
Now my head falls hard and alone
Cadd9
Onto a motel pillow
G
And I know thereâ''s a script that I could rehearse
Em
And there are lines and I could make them work
Cadd9
But I donâ''t want them, I want you
G
And itâ''s not like thereâ''s a space that I need to fill
Em
Or like I have any time we could kill
Cadd9
But I donâ''t need this, I need you
D Cadd9
And this is the exact thing that I always do
G G G Cadd9
G G G
We used to lie right here and speak
G G G
We were fucking great between these sheets
Cadd9
That you bought to replace the old ones she left when she needed her own space
G G G
And I took the hand-me-downs
G G G
And I flipped the covers inside out
Cadd9
And Iâ''ll pretend that Iâ''m different now
G G G
And the first time we made love
G G G
It was dark and we were drunk
Cadd9
In someone elseâ''s, someone elseâ''s hostel bathroom
G G G
And you turned your back to me
G G G
And I said â''If this is the first of many then turn
Cadd9 D
back around, so I can fucking kiss you.â'�
G
And I know thereâ''s a script that I could rehearse
Em
And there are lines and I could make them work
Cadd9
But I donâ''t want them, I want you
G
And itâ''s not like thereâ''s a space that I need to fill
Em
Or like I have any time we could kill
Cadd9
But I donâ''t need this, I need you
D Cadd9
And this is the exact thing that I always do
Em D*
And if you see me again
G Cadd9
Holding up some dive barâ''s end
Em D*
With the whiskey sat far too naturally
G Cadd9
between my legs
Em D*
Will you saunter over smokily and
G Cadd9
tell me about your family
Em D*
And Iâ''ll tell you you were right
G Cadd9
When you said Iâ''d end up lonely
Em D*
And Iâ''ll tell you that my life
G Cadd9
didnâ''t crack up to what our life wouldâ''ve been
Em D*
And Iâ''ll stand up to say something
G
And fall straight back in my seat
Em D* G Cadd9
And youâ''ll check your watch and say â''Itâ''s probably time for you to leave.â'�
Em D* G Cadd9
And Iâ''ll stand up to say something brave and grand, fall straight back in my seat
Em D* G Cadd9
You will check your watch and say â''Itâ''s probably time for you to leave.â'�
D
And you will offer me a ride
Cadd9 D
Only cos itâ''s so fucking cold outside
Cadd9 cut off and then build Cadd9
You were always far too kind
G
And I know thereâ''s a script that I could rehearse
Em
And there are lines and I could make them work
Cadd9 D
But I donâ''t want them, I want you
G
And itâ''s not like thereâ''s a space that I need to fill
Em
Or like I have any time we could kill
Cadd9
But I donâ''t need this, I fucking need you
D Cadd9 G
And this is the exact thing that I always do
