[Intro]
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
G
Midnight, you could see me dangling
Cmaj7 G
Glow like a cherry falling, now it's a downpour
Cmaj7
You could see me racing the rain to the ground floor
N.C. G
You're the only thing I'll wait around for
Cmaj7
Maybe when you get off of work, could you meet me?
G
We could go barreling down on the main street
Cmaj7
You could try watching while I run through the high-beams
[Instrumental]
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
[Bridge]
Em G Cmaj7
'Cause if I didn't have a mean bone in my body
Em G Cmaj7
I'd find some other way to cause you pain
Em G Cmaj7
I won't bother telling you I'm sorry
Em G Cmaj7
For something that I'm gonna do again
[Verse 2]
G
When I could spend the weekend out on a bender
Cmaj7
Do I get callous or do I stay tender?
G
Which of these is worse and which is better?
Cmaj7
Dying to myself, virtually a massacre
Em G Cmaj7
A character of somebody's invention
Em G Cmaj7
A martyr in another passion play
Em G Cmaj7
I guess I don't mind losing my conviction
Em G Cmaj7
If it's all relative fiction anyway
[Verse 3]
G Cmaj7
'Cause I don't need a savior, I need you to take me home
G Cmaj7
I don't need your help, I need you to leave me alone
G
I'm out where the drunks at the bar talk over the band
Cmaj7
I try to express, I can't understand
G
I beat at the keys, I bloody my hands
Cmaj7
'Til you hear me
Em G
I've got no business praying
Cmaj7
I'm finished being good
Em G Cmaj7
Now I can finally be okay in not the way I thought I should
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Mm-mm
