Try for the one thing you know too well.
Em
Found a gift from a holiday,
C G
it was covered in ashes and frayed.
C G
Pull on my shoes walk around your town,
C Em
saw your boy and he's all grown up.
C
Wiped the smile clear off when I stayed.
Am
Familiar with the thought every night,
C
you made it here through weeks underneath–
G D C
The wooden bench I left you on was crumbling, and you blamed me for it.
Am
It never crossed my mind what you need.
C G
You fit it in your pocket and prayed when you picked me up,
D
and dragged me home, I’d let you off, and leave you alone.
C
Somebody has to take care of things!
It gets worse, it gets worse, it gets worse with the changes.

G
I’ll be on the opposite, leave me when you’re feeling low,
Em
for a week without remark, feels like it’s a blatant joke.
C
The part of me you can’t recall makes me feel a different way:
G
I’ll be waking up the hall screaming out a different name.
Em
Tables in the dining hall centered with a marking place,
C
passed through one of my old crowds waiting for a chance to leave.
G
The place began to empty out, a trail was made for you to follow me.
