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


Outro:
