[Verse 1]
Bm Em
Someone tipped the scales and watched the waters flood
Bm Em
They blew out all the windows, caked the walls with mud
F# Bm Em
And everybody knows when it hits in the south
Bm F# Em
That is a land that we will learn to live without
Bm F# Bm
That is a house that we have learned to live without.
[Verse 2]
Bm Em
When ruins come in pieces with no pictures to recall
Bm Em
When you can't find a light to break or bright the shadows on the wall
F# Bm Em
Every time that we declare this is it, I'm giving up
Bm F# Em
There comes a push, there comes a push, there comes a push
Bm F# Bm
And we don't sit down, what we do is get back up.
[Bridge]
A? F# Bm
It was an idea that we had and a bad idea at that
Em F#
I wanna be loved by you, I sure do...
[Chorus]
Bm
Let's learn to be alone together
Em F#
Let's cry our fucking eyes out 'cause we know no one will care for us
Bm
Let's go home alone together
Em F#
Let's fuck and let's expect it when we don't feel any better.
[Verse 3]
Bm Em
There goes the best damn summer that we ever spent
Bm Em
Drinking on the porch, rolling our own cigarettes
F# Bm Em
Jumping up and down in our panties on the bed, screaming,
Bm F# Em
That was the best summer that we will ever have
Bm F# Bm
And we believed it, we believed it, we believed it.
[Verse 4]
Bm Em
So won't you take me to the kitchen of your ex-wife's house?
Bm Em
Bore me with details of all the papers you've put out
F# Em
And I can't tell when you're gonna figure out
Bm F# Em
That any line you use tonight will work
Bm F# Bm
Because we're both as fucking broken as we look.
[Chorus]
Bm
Let's learn to be alone together
Em F#
Let's cry our fucking eyes out 'cause we know no one will care for us
Bm
Let's go home alone together
Em F#
Let's fuck and let's expect it when we don't feel any better.
Bm
Let's go home alone...
Bm
Let's go home alone...
