Chords with lyrics

BB F#F# G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE G# minorG#m F#F# (play twice)

    BB
It's a sordid sort of feeling
F#F#    G# minorG#m
When you learn to live with spite.
    E MajorE
It's a desperate kind of living
      G# minorG#m       F#F#
When you're burning up the night.
     BB
Getting sick of all the drinking
F#F#    G# minorG#m
Getting sicker every day.
        E MajorE         F#F#      BB
Cause I can't say the things I really want to say

BB            F#F#    G# minorG#m
I remember when Chicago seemed a million miles away
F#F#   E MajorE                G# minorG#m     F#F#
I was chained by quiet longing on that Independence Day
  BB            F#F#    G# minorG#m
A augmentedA month across the country built in all I learned from you
  E MajorE            F#F#         BB
I sang those thoughts away just like I always do.

BB                        E MajorE
It's been an age, it's been an era, it's been a lifetime.
     G# minorG#m      F#F#
But I'll remember every step
        BB                   E MajorE
I'll cross my heart when we cross paths across the country
        G# minorG#m        F#F#
Please just remember I'm not the one who left
And I never will

BB F#F# G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE G# minorG#m F#F# (play twice)

     BB              F#F#  G# minorG#m
All the aches and shits and quivers hurdle in with morning light
F#F#   E MajorE                 G# minorG#m        F#F#
and a somber sense of longing steals my breath and grips my spine
    BB          F#F#    G# minorG#m
I can feel the salty ocean suck the moisture from my skin
       E MajorE         F#F#     BB
And I know staying here will surely do us in

    C# minorC#m          E MajorE           BB     F#F#  E MajorE
And I walked on down to that lonely shoal, where my best hopes go to die
     C# minorC#m       E MajorE          BB     F#F#   E MajorE
I thought I will keep you in my pen, until the ink wells all go dry
     BB       F#F#      BB
And I'll keep it like a secret every day

BB                        E MajorE
It's been an age, it's been an era, it's been a lifetime.
     G# minorG#m      F#F#
But I'll remember every step
        BB                   E MajorE
I'll cross my heart when we cross paths across the country
        G# minorG#m        F#F#
Please just remember I'm not the one who left
         BB
