Verse 1:
E minorEm FF
I woke up screaming and swearing in Spanish
C majorC
Clueless to the sounds and smells of people around me
E minorEm
Washed my face in the cracked sink
FF C majorC
Walked a stained carpet, kissed your naked shoulder and I took to the street
E minorEm FF
The trip home isn't is as it always was and always will be
C majorC
Was a stain of pleasant taste of you still in my mouth
E minorEm FF C majorC
When I quit smoking I ran out of good reasons to leave the house
Pre-Chorus:
G+G FF E minorEm
The day breaks the skyline like it's not even there, gotta get as quick as I can back to safe or nowhere
Chorus:
C majorC
This isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend
E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly and I need to remember that my body's a machine,
FF C majorC
my body is a machine
Verse 2:
C majorC E minorEm
And you look so tiny and scared in the kitchen doing the dishes on your little tippy-toes
C majorC E minorEm
I remember before the wreckage I swung your arms from side to side
FF C majorC
Danced a waltz on the kitchen tiles and the last time that I touched you
E minorEm FF
would be when I brushed your shoulder in the corridor of our old house
C majorC
We kicked and screamed about whether I was gonna get my bunk back
E minorEm FF G+G
but what I was really saying was I still loved you and you were screaming, "get the fuck out of my house"
Pre-Chorus:
G+G FF E minorEm
The day breaks the skyline like it's not even there, gotta get as quick as I can back to safe or nowhere
Chorus:
C majorC
This isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend
E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly and I need to remember that my body's a machine,
FF C majorC
my body is a machine

You said it was just another thing that you never explained to me

I was pit-walking a median strip near my parents house - going about sixty
A minorAm DmDm A augmentedA
And I flew for the first and only time in my life
If they hit me, they hit me x8:
They hit me if they
They hit me if they hit me x8:
They hit me if they
