[Verse 1]
F# C#
The fossils of my footsteps will be unearthed at a far off date, unknown
F# F#2 C# C#/D#
Impressed in concrete from walking home alone after walking you home
F#2 F#2
F# C#
And the mops of greasy hair will romanticize my despair
F# F#2 C# C#/D#
But they wont know that I didn't care
[Chorus 1]
Bbm G#4 C# ( C#5 ) F#2
I like the silence, I like the empty streets
Bbm G#4 C# ( C#5 ) F#2
Crawl down on my hands and knees in a heartbeat
Bbm G#4 C# ( C#5 ) F#2
If I had to
Bbm G# F#
I owe 'em that at the very least
[Verse 2]
F# C#
The map had faded out but I could have sworn I noted every stride
F# F#2 C# C#/D#
I guess the rain hit before the ink had dried
F# C#
And where I thought I'd be was not what I perceived
F# F#2 C# C#/D#
Assessing the progress from beneath your sheets
[Chorus 2]
Bbm G#4 C# ( C#5 ) F#2
That's why I need the silence, I need the empty streets
Bbm G#4 C# ( C#5 ) F#2
Just as bad as they don't need me
Bbm G#4 C# ( C#5 ) F#2
Its a sick, sad, sham of a marriage
Bbm G# F# F#m
But its all there is, its all I need
[Tag]
F#2 Bbm G#4 F#2 Bbm G#4
I can be everything you need if you make me
F#2 Bbm G#4 F#2 Bbm G#4
I can be every crack in your concrete if you let me off easy
F#2 Bbm G#4 F#2 Bbm G#4
I can be easily deceived if you want that
F#2 Bbm G#4 F#2 C# C#sus2
But you are the ember of my heart, whether you like that or not
F#
