Verse 1:
C
You left your typewriter at my apartment
F
Straight from the tourtured poets department
C F
I think some things I never say
Like, "Who uses typewriters anyway "
Am G
But you're in self-sabotage mode
C
Throwing spikes down on the road
F
But I've seen this episode and still love the show
Am G
Who else decodes you?
Chorus:
C F
And who's gonna hold you like me?
C F
And who's gonna know you if not me?
I laughed in your face and said,
Am G
"You're not Dylan Thomas. I'm not Patti Smith.
C F
This ain't the Chelsea Hotel. We're modern idiots."
Am G C
And who's gonna hold you like me?

Nobody

No-fucking-body

Nobody

Verse 2:
F
When the morning came
C Am
We were cleaning incense off your vinyl shelf
G
'Cause we lost track of time again
F C
Laughing with my feet in your lap
Am G
Like you were my closest friend
F C
"How'd we end up on the floor, anyway "
Am G
You say, "Your roommate's cheap-ass screw top Rosé, that's how"
F C G
I see you every day now
Chorus:
F C
And I chose you
Am G
The one I was dancing with
F C
In New York, no shoes
Am G
Looked up at the sky, and it was
F
The burgundy on my T-shirt
C
When you splashed your wine into me
Am
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
G
So scarlet, it was
F
The mark they saw on my collarbonе
C
The rust that grew between tеlephones
Am
The lips I used to call "home"
G F C Am G
So scarlet, it was maroon
Bridge:
C
Sometimes I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me
F
But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave
C
And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen
F
Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be
C F
'Cause we're crazy
C F
So tell me, who else is gonna know me?
Am G
At dinner you take my ring off my middle finger, and
C F
Put it on the one people put wedding rings on
Am G
And that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding
Bridge:
F C
And I wake with your memory over me
Am G
That's a real fucking legacy, legacy
F C
And I wake with your memory over me
Am G
That's a real fucking legacy to leave
Chorus:
F
The burgundy on my T-shirt
C
When you splashed your wine into me
Am
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks

C
The rust that grew between tеlephones
Am
The lips I used to call "home"

So scarlet, it was maroon
