(x3)

            F#m                  E                   D                  A
Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room
              F#m                    E                     A
So when I'll wake up I'll be like "Yeah, everything's all right"
              F#m                   E
You are still here, you are still happy.
               D                A
You are still smiling and laughing.
                  F#m             E                       A
You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life
            A        E
And it goes in, in, out through the mouth
 F#m                         E
Breathing exercises I will never figure out
         A
So I am running in circles or
 E
Walking in circles or
 F#m
Crawling in circles or
 E               D
Lying on the ground.

    Bm
And I
                    E                     A
Can hear your dog whistle from my bedroom.
  D
Yeah, yeah
    Bm
And I
                       E
Can see a flashlight cuttin'
                        A
Up the trees behind my house.
      D
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.


F#m E D A
F#m E A A

(X2)

                       F#m               E
She says a lot of the kids we graduated with are now homeless
            D                                 A
Which puts them in mad shady situations with mad shady people
  F#m             E                          A
If not everyday, then on an every other day basis
                          F#m               E
And she's probably with a few of them right now
                             D                   A
And they are probably just drinking and talking about
                         F#m          E            A
How she misses gettin' fucked up and hangin' around
             F#m                                      E            D
And he says "Hey, you're good at that" and she says "Thanks. It's kind of
       A                         F#m                  E          A
All I got, " and then she looks away and says, "It's also all I need"
           A             E
And I can smell plastic burning,
              F#m               E
I can smell chemicals breaking down
            A           E
I got your last three emails,
                   F#m
The ones where you said,
        E                   D
"I was sorting some things out"
    Bm                               E                 A
And he will be able to hear her dog whistle from his bedroom
  D
Yeah yeah.
    Bm
And I
                      E
Can see a flashlight cuttin'
                        A
Up the trees behind my house.
  D
Yeah yeah.
    Bm
And I will read the flashing
        D
Like a Morse code explanation
                    A
Though it'll mean nothing

But take all night to figure out, out, out
