             Am                    Am/F# 
I guess I've got a taste for poison 
     F                      Cadd9  Cadd9/B  
I've given up on ever being well 
       Am                Am/F# 
I keep mindin' the horizon 
F                              Cadd9  Cadd9/B  
Diggin' for lies I have yet to tell 
    G+ 
And I wish you were here to softly say my name 
F                                             Cadd9 
Calm down all the chemicals tearin through my brain 
        G+ 
I don't think I've missed you this much since I was seventeen 
    F                              Cadd9 
I'd call you in the morning, but I think this is a dream

Well you'd carve those doubts right out of me 
             Am                    Am/F# 
I see you shining through the treetops 
             F                      Cadd9  Cadd9/B

I still use your old alarm clock

Every morning I get further off of course

And don't I hear you speaking in the noises of this house 
F                                             Cadd9 
Airplanes flying over, shaking all my secrets out 
G+ 
Darling tell me something that I don't already know 
F                                    Cadd9

It felt like the world was burnin You had stars in your eyes
