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

D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G G MajorG X2

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

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

D MajorD A augmentedA G+G G MajorG
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G G MajorG

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

D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm
D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G B minorBm

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

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

OUTRO
there are two versions of the outro.
If you decide to play I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral after, play outro 1.
If you don't, or want to end it sounding more complete, play outro 2

OUTRO 1
A augmentedA    G+G    B minorBm
If you walked me home...

D MajorD    A augmentedA    G+G
If you walked me home...
