[Intro]
F Am F C
[Verse 1]
Am G F
Waiter send this to the table, the party of one
Am G F
The only other lonely soul in this place
Am G
And so you're finishing up your coffee
F
But then where are you gonna run?
Am G F
Where'd you get that look on your face?
[Verse 2]
Am G F
You should always let the sun go down on your anger
F G Am G F
Let it burn you to sleep
Am G
And bring you closer to danger
F
To surrender and retreat
F G Am G F
Sing your sad soul to sleep
[Chorus 1]
F G C
I loved you the first time I saw you
F G C
And you know I love you still
Dm
But I am tired
G
And I am yours
[Verse 3]
Am G
Don't even think about your freedom
F
Or taking that flight
Am G F
Or going back upon your promise after fighting for the right
Am G F C
Because your eggshells and your right statements and your weaponized words
Dm G
Are paper tigers now
[Verse 4]
Am G F
Oh your constant overthinking and your secretive drinking
F G Am G F
Are making you more and more alone
Am G
And girl, you can slam the door behind you
F C
It ain't ever gonna close
Am G F C
Because when you're home, you're already home
[Chorus 2]
Dm
I am tired
G F
I am tired
F G Am G F
I don't wanna go home anymore
F G Am G F
I don't wanna throw stones anymore
F G Am G Dm
I don't wanna take part in the war
[Chorus 3]
F G C
I loved you the first time I saw you
F G C
And you know I love you still
F G Am
I loved you the first time I saw you
F G
And you know I love you still
F G Am G F
I don't wanna be right anymore
F G Am G F
Lord, I don't wanna fight anymore
F G Am G Dm
I'm not taking your side anymore
[Bridge]
F
I am tired
Dm
I am not my own
Am G F
And I am leaving
Dm
Oh, I am tired
G
But I'm coming home
[Outro]
C C/B Am G F
'Cause I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours
C C/B Am G F
I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours
C C/B Am G F
