Verse 1:
G C
I'm a raw nerve in the sunlight
G C
After two weeks in the dark

If you've gotta tell me you're not using
G C
It's probably 'cause you are
Pre-Chorus

I saw you there
G Am
Just a block off to see your rowhome

On an empty street where the others have been torn down
C
And you're the last one standing

Verse 2:
G C
When the grace starts to swallow grey
G
Where the sky meets the Irish sea

Like a suit that's been to too many funerals

And starts fraying at the seams
C G
I saw a bag of clementines split right open on an English street
C
And the contrast made me feel so goddamn dizzy
Pre-Chorus
Em
I saw you there
G Am
Just a block off to see your rowhome
C Em G
On an empty street where the others have been torn down
C
And you're the last one standing

But it must get lonely

Verse 3:
G D Bm C
I'm a specter in the dim light on the flowers by the grave
G D C
In the Montmartre in Paris

Where the crows seem to know my name
D Bm C
And they left footprints in the snow
C G
Along the fence on Palmer Street
D C
Cigarette butts on the headstones
C
That you left for me
Pre-Chorus
Em
I saw you there
G Am
Just a block off to see your rowhome

On an empty street where the others have been torn down
