Email: [email protected]
Tuning: E A D G B E
Note: Due to the nature of the vocal rhythm (which is highly syncopated),
this TAB is organized in a manner that is easier to read. Each vocal line
is divided to correspond to each line of music. I advise that you listen to
the song for the rhythm of the vocals.
[Intro]
C - Dm - Am - Am (x2)
[Verse]
C - Dm - Am - Am (x4)
Smeared black ink...
your palms are sweaty
And i'm barely listening
to last demands
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath
[Interlude]
F - C - G - G (x4)
Where I am...
[A line without vocals]
Where I am...
[A line without vocals]
[Verse]
C - Dm - Am - Am (x6)
I'll wear my badge...
a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
That tells your new friends
i am a visitor here... I am not permanent
And the only thing
keeping me dry is
[Chorus]
(Where I am)[Repeats throughout chorus]
F - C - G - G (x4)
You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key explaining that i am just visiting
And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
[Bridge]
C - C - Dm - Dm
[No vocals]
G - G - Am - Am
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
C - Dm - Am - Am (x8)
[No vocals for 8 lines]
[Chorus]
(Where I am)[Repeats throughout chorus]
F - C - G - G (x10)
You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key explaining that i am just visiting
And i am finally seing why i was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
[Outro]
F - C - G - G (x2)
