Intro: 
E B (3x) 
C#m A 

Verse 1:
 
E            Abm             C#m 
I remember a rooftop, making out 
               A                      E 
Downstairs the coppers screamed so loud 
              Abm             C#m 
I'd waited so long for that night 
            A 
Then I just turned away 

Pre-Chorus 1: 

B                C#m               A 
And I know every street on the West-Side 
          E     B            A 
But I was lost, unfound, not right 
              E         B     A 
Maybe there's something wrong inside 

Verse 2:
 
E            Abm         C#m 
Now I've got nowhere to go 
            A               E 
My hands is all that I've got 
                 Abm        C#m 
I'm so sorry for so many things 
       A              B 
That I haven't said yet 

Pre-Chorus 2:
 
            C#m            A                   E 
This is the waiting-room I spend my whole life in 
               B                         A 
They gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sins 
       E                B                 A 
If I'm lucky maybe I'll finish before the roof caves in 

E B A I lost my life on the first try Ab You found it miles down the line A E B A swollen face with three first names E B A You kissed the taste back in my tongue Ab You sucked the smoke out of my lungs A E B And then we slept for days and days and days E C#m A E C#m A When we woke up, my heart all choked up C#m B E A Had to say 'I love you' way too soon E B A But right there on your couch you loved me too E B A Right there on your couch you loved me too
Bridge: E B (3x) C#m A Verse 3: E Abm C#m Nineteen and sober once or twice A E I caught some junkie's bad advice Abm C#m Up to my eyes in others' problems A B Couldn't see, I'd never solve them Pre-Chorus 3: C#m A E I'm only skin and bone and piss and pills unknown B A I took my lousy shot at public recognition E B A Could never pull the trigger if I wasn't shaking
E B A I lost my life on the first try Ab You found it miles down the line A E B A swollen face with three first names E B A You kissed the taste back in my tongue Ab You sucked the smoke out of my lungs A E B And then we slept for days and days and days E C#m A E C#m A When we woke up, my heart all choked up C#m B E A Had to say 'I love you' way too soon E B A But right there on your couch you loved me too E B A Right there on your couch you loved me too
