Intro:

A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE

Verse:

       A augmentedA
You told me happiness is just a moment
     D MajorD
From the steps of your Victorian apartment
      A augmentedA
We sat outside
                  F# minorF#m    E MajorE
The air was broken and summer was barging in
          A augmentedA
The homeless lady pushed her shopping carts
              D MajorD
And your neighbors played mariachi music until 4 am
   A augmentedA                       F# minorF#m    E MajorE
You said, "When this one passes I should probably walk away."
          B minorBm              D MajorD
"Because I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get
    A augmentedA
I'm a black hole, I'm empty and dead
     B minorBm           D MajorD
You can carve your name in stone
          A augmentedA
But it's just not permanent."

Pre-Chorus:

    F# minorF#m           E MajorE
But you told me you think you loved me
      A augmentedA               D MajorD
When you collapsed on the floor of your room
     F# minorF#m
After you told me to leave
     E MajorE
In that moment
         A augmentedA
I realized I was sure I loved you too

Interlude:

A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE

Verse:

         A augmentedA
So now I'm always putting out fires with my bare hands
      D MajorD
Until two black stumps are all that remain
     A augmentedA
I don't think my feeble heart's enough
  F# minorF#m          E MajorE
To blanket these growing flames
     A augmentedA
You can drop me at the hospital
   D MajorD
I'll OD on morphine and dream about you
   A augmentedA               F# minorF#m       E MajorE
As my heart seizes one more time before you go, and go
      B minorBm        D MajorD          A augmentedA
Then I'll probably wake up alone and be alone forever
     B minorBm           D MajorD
With an itch on my back that I cannot scratch
     A augmentedA
In the shape of your heart forever

Chorus:

         F# minorF#m  E MajorE
Cause everybody leaves
      A augmentedA        D MajorD
Everybody leaves eventually
      F# minorF#m
Everybody breaks
      E MajorE
Bends too late
      A augmentedA
Nobody's happy
         F# minorF#m      E MajorE
You'll never be happy this time
         A augmentedA        D MajorD
When it's your heart on the line
      F# minorF#m
So take a step back
        E MajorE          A augmentedA
who would ever want to fall in love?

Bridge:

  D MajorD             E MajorE        A augmentedA
Now it all plays out and the way you call me "babe"
A augmentedA
Dies with every other nickname
D MajorD        E MajorE
I have so many nicknames I can't keep track anymore
          D MajorD            E MajorE
I'll bury them in bourbon and half-smoked cigarettes
    A augmentedA  A/G#  F# minorF#m E MajorE
As we come to an end
     D MajorD           E MajorE         A augmentedA
Or to an understanding I don't want to understand

Chorus:

         F# minorF#m  E MajorE
Cause everybody leaves
      A augmentedA        D MajorD
Everybody leaves eventually
      F# minorF#m
Everybody breaks
      E MajorE
Bends too late
      A augmentedA
Nobody's happy
         F# minorF#m      E MajorE
You'll never be happy this time
        A augmentedA        D MajorD
When it's my heart on the line
       F# minorF#m           E MajorE         A augmentedA
"If I can't love you, why would you ever love me back?
       F# minorF#m           E MajorE         A augmentedA
"If I can't love you, why would you ever love me back?
           F# minorF#m
I don't know how to love you anymore
  E MajorE           A augmentedA
So please don't love me back."
