Intro:

D E F#m C#m


Verse 1:
D                E            F#m
You’re probably due an explanation
                 C#m         D
Could be you’ve even been forgetting me
             E             F#m
Well I can’t say I really blame you
             C#m           D
I’ve always let time get ahead of me
          E                F#m
All of my brokenhearted friends
          C#m             D
All of my enemies and nemeses
            E            F#m
I’d love to see you all again
               C#m                 D
But for now my pride will get the best of me

Chorus:
D           E      F#m
And it’s sad but true
         C#m    D
My exile is a habit
                E       F#m
Some day I’ll message you
                C#m     D
From my quiet little planet
       E       F#m
I’m not sure why
                      C#m       D
I keep my distance and extend it
          E      F#m
I’m scared that I
              C#m       D
Won’t be what you expected


Drop:
D  E  F#m  C#m
D  E  F#m  C#m


Verse 2:
D           E             F#m
All these impermanent connections
            C#m      D
Born out of unavailability
      E                F#m
I reminisce about the best ones
                     C#m            D
And it’s bittersweet but they still live in me


Bridge:
D                     E                  F#m
Yeah, we hang out and share a space and time
                        C#m                      D
Then like eight months later ‘How’re you doing there ’
               E             F#m
I’m floating in and out of light
          C#m                           D
But I do adore the times I’m spending there


Chorus:
D           E      F#m
And it’s sad but true
         C#m    D
My exile is a habit
                E       F#m
Some day I’ll message you
                C#m     D
From my quiet little planet
       E       F#m
I’m not sure why
                      C#m       D
I keep my distance and extend it
          E      F#m
I’m scared that I
              C#m       D
Won’t be what you expected


Drop:
D  E  F#m  C#m
D  E  F#m  C#m
