####### #Intro# ####### Bbmaj7F The longer that I'm out here the better you sound
Bbmaj7C You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found
Bbmaj7Dm And I'm chasing after you, steadily losing ground
CBb (strum twice) I don't wanna forget so I'm writing it down

Bb Have you ever? No, never never? F I find that hard to believe Bb So let's burn the furniture F To see how angry a fire could make me
######### #Verse 2# #########
BbCDmF Now you say that there's someone that you need to reconnect with
BbCDmF Some scarecrow from high school that you loved but never slept with
BbCDmF A baby with a pipe dream playing hopscotch on your bandages
######## #Chorus# ########
Bbmaj7F And I'm singing all his songs while I sleep on your couch
Bbmaj7C I'm coughing up a lung but I'm covering my mouth
Bbmaj7 And I paint you on the wall
Dm Yellow, red, green and brown
CBb (strum twice) I miss you all the time but I'm blocking it out

Bb Are you better? No, never never? F What does that say about me? Bb Now let's break the smoke alarm F To see how scared locked windows'll make me
######### #Verse 4# #########
BbCDmF So you say there's a stranger staring sideways in a deep freeze
BbCDmF A loner draped in ivy playing slumlord in his city dream
BbCDmF A faker with an art form pulling magic tricks on the weak girls up his sleeve
######## #Chorus# ########
Bbmaj7F And I'm choking right along with the words in my throat
Bbmaj7C I'm falling back in love with the letter you wrote
Bbmaj7Dm And I think that I was wrong, but I guess I don't know
CBb (strum twice) I figure that I'll wait until you tell me so

Bbmaj7C You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found
