             D                      
And out of our old apartment 
    G 
And I know things changed but I'm not sure when 
 Em                           G 
I guess you'd call this regression 
 D 
I left a real job and a girlfriend 
 G 
I convinced myself that I'm brave enough for all of this 
 Em                     G 
Well, I spent a whole year in airports 
  Em          G               D     
And the floor feels like home 
      A                     Em 
Oh,   
G     
  at least we're never alone 
 D          A                Em 
I lost track of the time zones and I'd call but you know 
G                   D             A                     Em 
Oh,  
G  D  A 
I'm running on empty 
               G 
The late nights and the long drives start to get to me 
     D                  Em                   G    
I'm just so tired 
D                A 
I spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure what I'm looking for 
        G                             D 
A voice on a phone that you rarely answer anymore 
G                                D                      
I came in here alone 
G 
Came in here alone 

But that doesn't scare me like it did seven months ago 
 D 
I spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure where home is anymore 
        G                            D              A     

Instrumental: D G Em G 

Been on a steady fast food diet 
           D 
Like we're this generation's Morgan Spurlock 
     G                       Em 
But we don't admit defeat 
    G 
My body feels rejected, I can't say that I blame it 
D                      G     
My heart keeps saying stay young 
Em  
My lower back seems to disagree 
  G 
I unrolled a cheap cotton blanket on an old dirty couch 
Em           G            D          A                  
Oh, 
Em  G  D  
I felt the year start to wind down 
           A                     Em 
I can't stand any dead space 
        G            D 
Empty beds bum me out 
      A 
Oh, 
Em  G  D 
I spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure what I'm looking for 
        G                             D 
A voice on a phone that you rarely answer anymore 
G                           D  
I came in here alone 
G 
Came in here alone 

But that doesn't scare me like it did seven months ago 
 D

        G                            D              A     
Instrumental: D G D A  x2 

I came out swinging from a South Philly basement 
  D                       G                      
Caked in stale beer and sweat under half-lit fluorescents 
         D                          A 
And I spent the winter writing songs about getting better 
     D                         G       
Well if I'm being honest, I'm getting there 
     D                    A    B      G
