G D G
B5 Bb5 G
I've been leaving messages on an answering machine
Bm D A
In a house that's always empty, so I know nobody's listening.
Bm D
I've been confessing my transgressions over tape hiss
G D Em
And the silence makes me sick.
G
No good can come from this.
D F#m G G X2
D
I'm letting go.
I've been holding on like poison ivy
G
Out of cold suburban concrete
From this careless urban sprawl.
D
I'm letting go.
You know we can't keep out of trouble.
G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.
I thought we'd never be alone.
B5 Bb5 G
I've got images of you inside my head
D
Outside of the gas station where we always used to shoplift.
Bm D
It's car-crash rhetoric.
G D Em
We fucked up everything we came in contact with.
G
Just boyhood recklessness.
D A G G
D F#m G G
D
I'm letting go.
I've been holding on like poison ivy

D F#m G Em
D F#m G Bm
D Em Bm A G
If you walked me home, you'd know how weak my arms got.
Em (I usually don't play this Em)
I just can't carry you.
Bm F#m G Bm A
If you walked me home, I know I'd have flashbacks
G Em
Of snow angels and gut laughs.
Bm F#m G
If you walked me home... but you won't.
Bm A Em
You're all alone on some bullshit, pill-bottle vision quest.
D G A
If you walked me home, I don't know when I would finally
Em G
Work up the backbone to walk alone.
D
I'm letting go
G
Cause I loved you, but I have to.
D
I'm letting go.
You know we can't keep out of trouble.
G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.
I thought we'd never be alone.
I'm letting go.
