Verse:
A augmentedA
Last night turned on the TV
               A augmentedA
Looked out the window
                         F# minorF#m
And then pulled down the shades
      F# minorF#m
And I came to the conclusion
                     A augmentedA     AsusAsus
My mind could not be made
A augmentedA
She said, "Well what're you thinking
           A augmentedA
I'm just a-wondering
                       F# minorF#m
Is it something that I did "
              F# minorF#m
I said, "It's nothing, just something
                 A augmentedA     AsusAsus   A augmentedA
I picked up as a kid."

Verse:
A augmentedA
Last night for a split sec
        A augmentedA
I was a train-wreck
                    F# minorF#m
I was a complicated guy
          F# minorF#m
I hope we don't find this is the last time
            A augmentedA       AsusAsus  A augmentedA
We ever say goodbye
    A augmentedA
The orange moon is rising on the horizon
       A augmentedA               F# minorF#m
Of the outskirts of my mind
          F# minorF#m
I sat and listened as it glistens
                         A augmentedA       AsusAsus  A augmentedA
It says, "Leave the past behind"


Chorus:
D MajorD A augmentedA      E MajorE            A augmentedA
I hear a lot of empty spaces
D MajorD A augmentedA     E MajorE
I see a big hole in view
D MajorD A augmentedA       E MajorE            A augmentedA
I feel an outline that traces
D MajorD  A augmentedA         E MajorE
An imaginary path back to you

Blue      too cold to hold

Too deep to swim to

  Too cold to hold too deep to
D MajorD     A augmentedA  B minorBm   E MajorE
swim to
