G D G
           B Bb          G
I've been leaving messages on an answering machine
   Bm               D       A
In a house that's always empty, so I know nobody's listening.
        Bm              D
I've been confessing my transgressions over tape hiss
      G       D    Em
And the silence makes me sick.
       G
No good can come from this.

D F#m G G X2

      D
I'm letting go.
I've been holding on like poison ivy
     G
Out of cold suburban concrete
From this careless urban sprawl.
       D
I'm letting go.
You know we can't keep out of trouble.
       G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.
I thought we'd never be alone.

      B Bb         G
I've got images of you inside my head
  D
Outside of the gas station where we always used to shoplift.
          Bm  D
It's car-crash rhetoric.
       G               D Em
We fucked up everything we came in contact with.
          G
Just boyhood recklessness.

D A G G
D F#m G G

      D
I'm letting go.
I've been holding on like poison ivy
     G
Out of cold suburban concrete
From this careless urban sprawl.
       D
I'm letting go.
You know we can't keep out of trouble.
       G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.
I thought we'd never be alone.

D F#m G Em
D F#m G Bm

 D        Em              Bm    A G
If you walked me home, you'd know how weak my arms got.
        Em (I usually don't play this Em)
I just can't carry you.
Bm   F#m     G          Bm   A
If you walked me home, I know I'd have flashbacks
  G        Em
Of snow angels and gut laughs.
Bm   F#m     G
If you walked me home... but you won't.
        Bm A      Em
You're all alone on some bullshit, pill-bottle vision quest.
D          G               A
If you walked me home, I don't know when I would finally
      Em         G
Work up the backbone to walk alone.

      D
I'm letting go
      G
Cause I loved you, but I have to.
      D
I'm letting go.
You know we can't keep out of trouble.
       G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.
I thought we'd never be alone.
I'm letting go.
