{Intro}
C E Am F
[Verse]
C E Am
Baby, I know you hate it when I call you that
F
But it's the only word that half-describes the way you're acting tonight
C E
And at the restaurant
Am
Where all your ghosts still haunt you just like you feared
F
Under this table, all these years they stayed
[Pre Chorus]
C E
Waiting for your return
Am
Your cigarette to burn their whole world through
F
A thousand things you thought they'd do
C E Am F
[Chorus]
G C
Everytime you call I feel worse
F
Throwing chairs
C
Stolen rings
F
Frozen air
Dm
And as I walked away I heard you say
F
"You're not the only one"
[Verse]
C E Am F
C E
And as I watch you sleep it's hard for me
Am
To keep from waking you
F
To tell you everything I did
[Pre Chorus]
C E Am
And when I listen to you breathe I know exactly what you have always need
F
You wanted from me
C E Am F
[
Chorus]
G C
And every time you're here it gets worse
F
Throwing chairs
C
Stolen hearts
F
Tasteless air
Dm F
I waited all day at the cafe but you never came
C
But you never came
Emaj7
But you never came
[Bridge]
C Emaj7
And the hearts of the faithful who died on this table
Have left me with nothing at all to hold onto
At all to hold on
At all to hold on
But I want to hold on too
But I have got to hold on to you
[Outro]
F
Throwing chairs
C
Broken rings
F
Open air
Dm F
I waited all day at the cafe but you never came
