Verse 1:

E MajorE
Will the marker stain the skin?
A augmentedA                 F# minorF#m
Stole the dress I saw you in
    E MajorE       Esus4Esus4 E MajorE          A augmentedA     Asus2Asus2 F# minorF#m
Now nothing         comes to mind
E MajorE
Saw a life as override
A augmentedA                F# minorF#m         E MajorE Esus4Esus4
One more session overdrive
    E MajorE              A augmentedA    Asus2Asus2  F# minorF#m
The ceiling is the roof


Pre-Chorus:

C# minorC#m
Change address and draw a line
BB
Show my friends the silver line
F# minorF#m                                 A*
Call my family just to know they're there

E MajorE
Sleepin' in late like I used to

Crossing my fingers like I used to
C# minorC#m                   A*
Waiting inside like I used to
 BB
Avoiding big crowds like I used to

Crawl the field and    let you in
A augmentedA              Asus2Asus2 F# minorF#m
Brand my heart I     found you in
   E MajorE   Esus4Esus4 E MajorE         Esus4Esus4  A augmentedA    Asus2Asus2 F# minorF#m

Follow them to    less the pain
    E MajorE       Esus4Esus4 E MajorE      Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA     Asus2Asus2 F# minorF#m

Well, my head's gone today

Sell my past for a way
   F# minorF#m                             A*
To sing and have something left to say
C# minorC#m
Pray my hands, pray my voice
BB
Give the reason, take away
F# minorF#m                          A*
Make believe an order for to stay

Lighting one up like I used to

Dancing all alone like I used to

Open my heart like I used to

Holding hands openly, rights to

Taking what's mine like I used to
