Verse 1:
D                                               Em7
Take the train out to Boston to blow some steam off
                        Em        A    D
I'm losing my temper, I tell you, fuck off.
                                 Em
It's easy for you to be calm and collected
                    E
When you don't feel anything.
          D
Your face drops,
           Em7
And I know that I shouldn't have said that  .
Em7
I'm an idiot.
         D            G                       Em       G
You just tell me I'm easy to forgive and hard to quit.

Chorus:
                    D
Oh, there we go again,
            Em7
Driving the car off the edge of your cliff.
            F#m
Shatter the glass on my life, oh, I know how it ends,
       Em7
So I'm telling myself I deserve this.

Verse 2:
                  D
We're twisting up bedsheets, living room floor
           Em7
I'd sit in hell just to be with you more
                F#m7
Your love is so violent, wait for the bomb drop
         Em7             F#m7       Em7
Everyone hates us, we're pissing my mom off
        D
Oh, but she doesn't understand that when Charlie died
    Em7
You came to my house with flowers and a smile
Dm
Fighting back tears, oh, we kissed to pass time
     Em7        Em           D
That moment, we knew we were fucked

Chorus:
D
There we go again,
            Em7
Driving the car off the edge of your cliff.
            F#m         D           F#m7/Bb     D7/F#
Shatter the glass on my life, oh, I know how it ends,
       Em7
So I'm telling myself I deserve this.

Oh, to be young, dumb, and stupid again
Em7                                    F#m
Oh, to feel like seventeen was the end
  G   F#m7                     Em7
Oh, I just miss having you as a friend
                      A           D
And we both know it's better this way
                                  Em7
Oh, I want to tell you about everything
                                          D
I'm living the life we were too scared to make
    D/F#     F#m          D/F#      Em7 F#m G A
But it isn’t fair that it ended this way

Outro:
       D
Saying we're getting older, and it's kinda scary
Em7
Knowing that after won't be like before
         D                  F#m    D             D/F#       Em7
When you told me you're leaving, I screamed that I hate you
      D                G    D
Don't know what I said that for
D
I open my mouth and regret what falls out
D
But each time, you come back, a saint at my door
                                     D/F#
You taught me to forgive, you taught me to let go
    E              D
You taught me that some things are worth fighting for

Instrumental:
Em7 D G D
