   G        Em          C        D
If I stop to fill the tank then that's the last I'll see of you


Chorus:

        C
Cause you're no good at reading maps

      D
And I'm so bad at keeping time

       Em
I'm sure that every night will be our last

 C
A downfall we designed

     C        D
I'll keep one foot on the gas

      G
So say goodnight

Instrumental:
G Em (x3)
C D


Verse:

G   Em         G       Em
Audre, can't you see? This lousy luck is killing me

  G          Em
I'm scared as fuck that this might be

 C        D
A one way journey South

      G         Em
Is this the best that we could manage

        G        Em
'Cause there's barely surface damage

    G      Em       C        D
It's a massive disadvantage to live in the master's house


Chorus:

        C
Cause you're no good at reading maps

      D
And I'm so bad at keeping time

       Em
I'm sure that every night will be our last

 C
A downfall we designed

     C        D
I'll keep one foot on the gas

      Em  C
So say goodnight

     C        D       G
I'll keep one foot on the gas so say goodnight


Bridge:

  G
For fourteen years my body betrayed me

  D
The one I cannot live without must live on without me

Em                  C
Unread books on dusty shelves tell a story of their own

     G
I know in time we all find peace of mind

                  D
When optionless we do what we must do

                  Em
But that was barely good enough and you

                     C
You stole my heart and then you stole my tools

C
You stole my tools, you stole my tools

  G
For fourteen years my body betrayed me

  D
The one I cannot live without must live on without me

Em                  C
Unread books on dusty shelves tell a story of their own

     G
I know in time we all find peace of mind

                  D
When optionless we do what we must do

                  Em
But that was barely good enough and you

                     C
You stole my heart and then you stole my tools

C                  G
You stole my tools, you stole my tools


Outro:
