[Verse 1]
C# F#
It's the tearing sound of love-notes
G# E B
Drowning out these gray stained windows
C# F#
And the view outside is sterile
G#
And I'm only two cubes down
E B C# F#
I'd photocopy all the things that we could be
G# E B
If you took the time to notice me
C# F#
But you can't now, I don't blame you
G# E B
And it's not your fault that no one ever does
[Chorus]
E A#
But you don't work here, anymore
B A G#
It's just a vacant three-by-four
E A#
And they might fill your place
B A G#
A temporary stand-in for your face
E A#
This happens all the time
B A G#
And I can't help but think I'll die, alone
[Verse 2]
C# F#
So, I'll spend my time with strangers
G# E B
A condition and it's terminal
C# F#
In this water-cooler romance
G#
And it's coming to a close
E E C# F#
We could be in the park and dancing by a tree
G# E B
Kicking over blades we see
C# F#
Or a dark beach with a black view
G# E B
And pin-pricks in the velvet catch our fall
[Chorus]
E A#
But you don't work here, anymore
B A G#
It's just a vacant three-by-four
E A#
And they might fill your place
B A G#
A temporary stand-in for your face
E A#
This happens all the time
B A G#
And I can't help but think I'll die, alone
[Bridge]
E F# G#m
I know you don't work here, anymore
E F# G#m
I know you don't work here, anymore
E F# G#m
I know you don't work here, anymore
E F# G#m
I know you don't work here, anymore
E F# G#m
I know you don't work here, anymore
E F# G#m
I know you don't work here, anymore
E F#
Sometimes, I think I'll die alone
G#m
Sometimes, I think I'll die alone
E F#
Sometimes, I think I'll die alone
G#m
Live and breathe and die alone
E F#
Sometimes, I think I'll die alone
G#m
Sometimes, I think I'll die alone
E F#
Sometimes, I think I'll die alone
G#m
I'd think I'd love to die alone
E F# G#m
Just take, I think I'd love to die
E F# G#m
Me down, I think I'd love to die
E F# G#m
Just take, I think I'd love to die
E F# G#m
Me down, I think I'd love to die alone
E F# G#m
I think I'd love to die alone, I think I'd love to die alone
E F# G#m
I think I'd love to die alone, live and breathe and die alone
E F#m G#m
I think I'd love to die alone, I think I'd love to die alone
[Outro]
E F G#m
E F
G#m E
I think I'd love to die alone
