C#m
[Verse]
C#m
I could have sworn I killed a man last night
C#m/A F# G#
Moving through the crosswalk while I had a green light
C#m/C#
The painted lines were on the far side of the hill
C#m/A F# G#
By the time I saw him it was too late
[Pre-Chorus]
A E
But I felt no impact
A
Saw no body in the rear view
E
So I kept on driving
A E
What I'm really trying to tell you
G#7 A Am
Is I don't believe that things that happen really happen
[Chorus]
E G#7
What if I'm right?
C#m B E Am E
Could I squeeze a little truth out of my lies?
E G#7
If I gain control
C#m A G#
Would it make you come back home again?
[Verse]
C#m
I'm hearing voices when I sleep at night
C#m/A F# G#
Feel the room around me shifting as it's changing sides
C#m G# E
Each night I fall into the arms of a woman
G#
She is singing me to sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
A E
But I wake alone
A
In a single room apartment
E
I turn off the television
A E
What I'm really trying to tell you
G# A Am
Is I don't believe the things that happen really happen
[Chorus]
E G#7
What if I'm right?
C#m B E Am E
Could I squeeze a little truth out of my lies?
E G#7
If I gain control
C#m A G#
Would it make you come back home again?

[Verse]
C#m
I could have sworn I made it home last night
C#m/A F# G#
I had a couple of drinks but figured I could walk alright
C#m
I saw the lights on at my place across the street and I
C#m/A F# G# A G#7
Thought I'd fall asleep to the sound of traffic passing by
[Pre-Chorus]
A E
But then I stumbled forward
A
And the headlights come upon me
E
And I'm off the windshield bleeding out onto the concrete
A E
What I'm really trying to tell you
G# A Am
Is I don't believe that things that happen really happen
[Chorus]
E G#7
What if I'm right?
C#m B E Am E
Could I squeeze a little air back in these lungs to give me life?
E G#7
If I gain control
C#m B E A G#
I would stand back up and run to you and call whatever ground you stand on home
