Intro:
Am F G
Am C G
Am F G
So there you are,
Am C G
and here I stand
Am F
As far as I remember
G AM F G
you weren't half bad.
Am C G
Your bedroom behavior
Am F G
was never more then checkmarks on bedposts.
Am C G AM F G
For I remember we never had.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
You get me out of the rain,
C G
you get me out of my clothes.
Am
You hope I don't make a sound,
C G
you hope that nobody knows.
Am
You get me out of the rain,
C G
you get me out of my clothes.
Am
You hope I don't make a sound,
F
you hope that no one...
[Chorus:]
Am
So suck your so called pity down.
G F
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
Am
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
G F
and don't forget to take deep breaths.
Am
So suck your so called pity down.
G F
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
Am
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
G F
and don't forget to take deep breaths.
Am F G
So don't explain
Am C G
cause I know exactly what your're going to say.
Am F G
Big words, recycled phrases, and the
Am C G
bittersweet taste of other boys on your lips.
Am F G
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.'
Am C G
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.
[Prechorus]
[Chorus]
Am
Do you miss looking up from the floor
C
at my face on a stage in a crowded room?
G
Well it's not the same.
F
I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces.
Am
Downtown looking down, down, looking over the crowd
C
I hope you're out there, look at me now.
G
Well it's not the same.
F
Just look at how we've changed.
