[VERSE}
C G C
While you were asleep
F Am Em Am
Pulled my hood to block the light from the TV
C7 Dm Dm7
Turned the volume up to distract me from constant noises
G F Em Dm C
Leaking under the apartment door
G C
It doesn't help
F Am Em Am
I get up and I crawl out and don't hear more
C7 Dm Dm7
Make a barricade of full trash bags and empty boxes
G F Em Dm
Perched behind them, closely watching
[REPEAT INTRO]
[VERSE]
C G C
While you were asleep
F Am Em Am
On the couch, watching a movie, smoking weed
C7 Dm Dm7
Rummaging through the utensils in the kitchen counter,
G F Em Dm
In the drainer, which one's sharper.
C G C
When the light creeps in
F Am Em Am
loosen my grip and crawl back into my bed.
C7 Dm Dm7
Your alarm is set to go off in a half an hour.
G F Em Dm
Eyes closed. Fake snore. None the wiser.
[CHORUS] (same chords as intro)
C G C F Dm
Victoria made me happy
C#dim Dm7 G C
Now I can only be scared
G/B G/Bb A7
And people tell me that time can fix the wound.
Dm
But that's crap.
Dm7/C G
'Cause she's not coming back
G C
And life's unfair.
G C F Dm
I'm always anxious and worried.
C#dim Dm7 G C
I'm always freaked out and scared.
G/B G/Bb A7
And people tell me that time can fix the wound.
Dm
But that's crap.
Dm7/C G
Vicki's not coming back.
G
And I scream
[BRIDGE]
Dm G
"Why did I get left behind?"
Em A
I know it's an exaggeration
Dm G
to say I would rather die than
Em A Dm
share this place with people capable
G E7
of inspiring such fear and hopelessness
Am Am/C G
that I'm frozen in my bed...
F
but that sums it up.
[VERSE]
C G C
Teenage halloween
F Am Em Am
Hot safety pins in nozzles of shaving cream
C7 Dm Dm7
Spend the evening spraying cars, toilet papering houses
G F Em Dm
What's the harm in smashing pumpkins?
C G C
Decades on, with kids
F Am Em
And I don't let them stay out past dark.
Am C7 Dm
I sit on the front porch with a shotgun
Dm7
While they're upstairs sleeping.
G F
Total darkness.
Em Dm
Love. Protection.
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[END WITH:]
Dm
But that's crap.
Dm7/C G
Vicki's not coming back.
G C
And life's unfair
