Verse:
A
Last night turned on the TV
               A
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?"
              F#m
I said, "It's nothing, just something
                 A     Asus   A
I picked up as a kid."

Chorus:
D A      E            A
I hear a lot of empty spaces
D A     E
I see a big hole in view
D A       E            A
I feel an outline that traces
D  A         E
An imaginary path back to you
E7
This ain't no ordinary
A    Asus A Asus A

Verse:
A
Last night for a split sec
        A
I was a train-wreck
                    F#m
I was a complicated guy
          F#m
I hope we don't find this is the last time
            A       Asus  A
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"

Chorus:
D A      E            A
I hear a lot of empty spaces
D A     E
I see a big hole in view
D A       E            A
I feel an outline that traces
D  A         E
An imaginary path back to you
E7
This ain't no ordinary

Bridge:
D   A  Bm
Blue      too cold to hold
            D    A
Too deep to swim to
Bm
  Too cold to hold too deep to
D     A  Bm   E
swim to

Outro:
A
Last night turned on the TV
               A
Looked out the window
                         A
And then pulled down the shades
