A C# B
[Verse 1]
B C# A
You've got lunch with your sister tomorrow
E B
So we can't be up late
C# A
You don't mind if I sleep in
E B
But then I've gotta pack my things
C# A E B
So I stacked a Bukowski novel on a Blacklisted LP
C# A E B
And this time what it looked like was just what it proved to be
C# A E
You said you needed a stiff drink
C# A B
to take your mind off things
E B C#
Hey Jess, I woke up older
G#M A E B
Carrying two years in the bags under my eyes

[Chorus]
E B C# G#m A
Hey Jess, I watched you wake up and get dressed
E B A C# B
You left the room receded like my hairline
[Verse 2]
(B) C# A
I've been avoiding Rittenhouse like the plague
E B
Because I just can't handle seeing you today
C# A
You made this house into a home
E B
Now, I'm a stranger on my street
C# B
And as I turned to leave
E B C# A
I caught myself in the mirror to see
E B A
I aged a year this week
C# A E
I left a note up on your bed that said
B C# A E B
Hey, thanks again for everything you did
[Chorus]
E B C# G#m A
Hey Jess, I watched you wake up and get dressed
E B A C# B
You left the room receded like my hairline
C# B A
When John introduced Woke Up New in St. Augustine
C# B A
I knew I wasn't alone
C# B A
When I woke up here without you
C# A B
There was nothing to do but pack up and go home
A C# B A C# A X2
A C# B
[Chorus]
E B C# G#m A
Hey Jess, I watched you wake up and get dressed
E B A C# B
You left the room receded like my hairline
