CC
I waited too long to write this down
CC CC/BB 
AmAm
The startling sensation is fading
The sweet, sweet burn
DD/
F#F#
Of the first drink of the night, underage
FF CC
Knowing that you're gonna get away with it
CC
You were a good man before you knew it
FF
And I'm not vain enough to think that
AmAm
I'd have been good for you if I'd stayed
FF
In the current of your life
CC
I was an eyelash in the shipping lanes
CC
And now I'm so scared about mystery
AmAm 
EmEm/GG
I fear I smell extinction
DD/F#F#
In the folds of this novocaine age coming on
CC
I miss the smell of mystery
AmAm GG FF
Reverb leaking outta tavern doors
And not knowing how the sounds were made
CC
So I left home and faked my ID
CC/
BbBb
I fucked every man that I wanted to be
AmAm
I was so stupid then
DD/F#F# FF
Why should mystery give its life for me?
CC
Baby, I'm afraid
But it's not your fault
Maybe I should go
EmEm FF
Home alone tonight
CC
Baby, I'm afraid
But it's not your fault
Maybe I should go
EmEm FF
Home alone tonight
Musical interlude:
AmAm EE x4
CC
Now I see you in our old home
Where I'm always scared to go
AmAm EmEm/GG
Those thirty garbage miles
Making wet cigarette butts and used tires
FF
To be poor as the anchor that makes us so sure
C7C7
Your sandy voice across my brow
You haven't aged a day
FF
Is it because you took a shortcut
That makes people say you're crazy
Is it true?
You're a time traveler, you
Is it true?
I've seen crazy too
CC 
G/BG/B AmAm
Can it be a comfort between us?
FF
Because I never want to know for sure
CC
Baby, I'm afraid
But it's not your fault
Maybe I should go
EmEm FF
Home alone tonight
CC
Baby, I'm afraid
But it's not your fault
Maybe I should go
EmEm FF
Home alone tonight
AmAm FF/AA DD/F#F# 
Fmaj7Fmaj7
CC
Now I write this in a pale town
AmAm GG
Where excitement is a yellow curb
Fmaj7Fmaj7
My dream awake leaps through my window
AmAm
From the highway
AmAm
You turn my head and set the brake too late
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Release the tears of metric tons
DD/F#F#
The crash, it comes (comes, comes)
FF
And pours down my public face
AmAm
Behind a reservoir of collarbones
Fmaj7Fmaj7 
D7D7/F#F# FF
And forms two private lakes (lakes, lakes, lakes, lakes)
FF EE
Baby, I'm afraid
AmAm
Your orbit is so easy
EE
You haven't gained a day
AmAm
We're two self-fulfilling prophecies
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Who don't even have each other
D7D7/F#F# FF
Not that we would ever get away with it
|AmAm EE | AmAm Fmaj7Fmaj7/AA D7D7/AA FF/AA
