A
Last night turned on the TV

Looked out the window
F#m
And then pulled down the shades
F#m
And I came to the conclusion
A Asus
My mind could not be made
A
She said, "Well what're you thinking
A
I'm just a-wondering
F#m
Is it something that I did?"

I said, "It's nothing, just something
A Asus A
I picked up as a kid."

Last night for a split sec

I was a train-wreck

I was a complicated guy

I hope we don't find this is the last time

We ever say goodbye
A
The orange moon is rising on the horizon
A F#m
Of the outskirts of my mind
F#m
I sat and listened as it glistens
A Asus A
It says, "Leave the past behind"
