Verse 1:
Bm          G
 I left you here
        D               A
A radio keeps the extra closet empty
Bm            G
 In case this year
       D                     A
I come back and stay through all my twenties



Bm         G
 What if I won't
       D             A
How am I supposed to put that gently?
Bm            G
 And down the road
         D             A             Bm  D  G  A
You will love me until you resent me, mmm

Verse 2:
Bm            G
 I've had the thought
         D                   A
Tried to work it out through anxious pacin'
Bm           G
 What if I'm not
          D                 A
Worth the time and breath I know you're savin'?
Bm          G
 But it's a lot
        D               A
All the shine of half a decade fadin'
Bm         G
 The whole facade
        D              A           Bm  D  G  A
Seem to fall, but it's complicated, mmm


Chorus:
D                      G
 A part of me wants to walk away 'til you really wishin'
D                       Em
 I hate to look in your face and know that we're feelin' different
D                  G
 'Cause part of me wants you back, but
D                Em
 I know it won't work like that, huh
D                     G
 Why won't try movin' on for once? That might make it easy
D                      Em
 I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'
D               G
 And part of me wants you back, but
D                Em                  D  G
 I know it won't work like that, huh
D
 I know it won't work like that


Verse 3:
          G
I'll open up
             D
And thinkin' everythin' you wish I wasn't
             G
The call was tough
          D
But you're better off
I'm bein' honest
              G
So, won't you stop
        D
Holdin' out for me when I don't want it?
              G
Just brush me off
                D
'Cause I'm your ghost right now, your house is haunted
