[Intro]
A D A F#m E
[Verse]
A
You told me happiness is just a moment
D
From the steps of your Victorian apartment
A
We sat outside
F#m E
The air was broken and summer was barging in
A
The homeless lady pushed her shopping carts
D
And your neighbors played mariachi music until 4 am
A F#m E
You said, "When this one passes I should probably walk away."
Bm D
"Because I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get
A
I'm a black hole, I'm empty and dead
Bm D
You can carve your name in stone
A
But it's just not permanent."
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m E
But you told me you think you loved me
A D
When you collapsed on the floor of your room
F#m
After you told me to leave
E
In that moment
A
I realized I was sure I loved you too
[Interlude]
A D A F#m E
[Verse]
A
So now I'm always putting out fires with my bare hands
D
Until two black stumps are all that remain
A
I don't think my feeble heart's enough
F#m E
To blanket these growing flames
A
You can drop me at the hospital
D
I'll OD on morphine and dream about you
A F#m E
As my heart seizes one more time before you go, and go
Bm D A
Then I'll probably wake up alone and be alone forever
Bm D
With an itch on my back that I cannot scratch
A
In the shape of your heart forever
[Chorus]
F#m E
Cause everybody leaves
A D
Everybody leaves eventually
F#m
Everybody breaks
E
Bends too late
A
Nobody's happy
F#m E
You'll never be happy this time
A D
When it's your heart on the line
F#m
So take a step back
E A
who would ever want to fall in love?
[Bridge]
D E A
Now it all plays out and the way you call me "babe"
A
Dies with every other nickname
D E
I have so many nicknames I can't keep track anymore
D E
I'll bury them in bourbon and half-smoked cigarettes
A A/G# F#m E
As we come to an end
D E A
Or to an understanding I don't want to understand
[Chorus]
F#m E
Cause everybody leaves
A D
Everybody leaves eventually
F#m
Everybody breaks
E
Bends too late
A
Nobody's happy
F#m E
You'll never be happy this time
A D
When it's my heart on the line
F#m E A
"If I can't love you, why would you ever love me back?
F#m E A
"If I can't love you, why would you ever love me back?
F#m
I don't know how to love you anymore
E A
So please don't love me back."
