C majorC FF A minorAm
C majorC FF A minorAm

Verse 1:
C majorC    FF   A minorAm
 Smeared black ink
C majorC   FF        A minorAm
 Your palms are sweaty and I'm barely listening
C majorC    FF A minorAm
 To last de-mands
C majorC          FF        A minorAm
 I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath

 Where I am


Verse 2:
C majorC     FF A minorAm
 I'll wear my badge
C majorC           FF        A minorAm
 A augmentedA vinyl sticker with big block letters, adherent to my chest
C majorC      FF    A minorAm
 That tells your new friends
C majorC    FF      A minorAm
 I am a visitor here, I am not permanent
C majorC      FF A minorAm
 And the on-ly thing
C majorC  FF  A minorAm
 Kee-ping me dry is

Chorus 1:
FF       C majorC       G+G
 You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
FF      C majorC         G+G
 A augmentedA stranger with your door key explaining that I'm just visiting
FF     C majorC       G+G
 And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
FF C majorC G+G
    Why I was the one worth leaving
FF C majorC DmDm


Bridge:
G+G G/BG/B A minorAm
D. C. sleeps alone tonight
C majorC FF A minorAm
C majorC FF A minorAm
C majorC FF A minorAm
C majorC FF A minorAm


Chorus 2:
FF       C majorC       G+G
 It seems so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
FF      C majorC         G+G
 A augmentedA stranger with your door key explaining that I'm just visiting
FF     C majorC       G+G
 And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
FF C majorC G+G
    Why I was the one worth leaving

FF       C majorC       G+G
 The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
FF       C majorC       G+G
 And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
FF     C majorC       G+G
 And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
FF C majorC G+G
    Why I was the one worth leaving
FF C majorC G+G
    Why I was the one worth leaving
FF C majorC G+G
