[Intro] B5 G#m7 F#sus4 Esus2 x2
[Verse 1]
B5 G#m7 F#sus4
My city's still breathing, but barely it's true
Esus2 B5
Through buildings gone missing like teeth
G#m7 F#sus4
The sidewalks are watching me think about you
Esus2
Sparkled with broken glass
G#m7 F#/A# B5 E
I'm back with scars to show
G#m7 F#/A# B5 E
Back with the streets I know
C#m/F#
Will never take me anywhere but here.
[Intro] B5 G#m7 F#sus4 Esus2 x2
[Verse 2]
B5 G#m7 F#sus4
The stain in the carpet, this drink in my hand
Esus2 B5
The strangers whose faces I know
G#m7 F#sus4
We meet here for our dress rehearsal to say
Esus2
"I wanted it this way"
G#m7 F#/A# B5 E
Wait for the year to drown
G#m7 F#/A# B5 E
Spring forward, fall back down
C#m/F# B5/G# B5/F# B5/E
I'm trying not to wonder where you are.

[Intro] B5 G#m7 F#sus4 Esus2 x2
[Verse 3]
B5 G#m7 F#sus4
Memory will rust and erode into lists
Esus2 B5
Of all that you gave me
G#m7 F#sus4
A blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest
Esus2 G#m7
The best parts of lonely
F#/A# B5 E
Duct tape and soldered wires
G#m7 F#/A# B5 E
New words for old desires
C#m/F#
And every birthday card I threw away
[Solo] B5 G#m7 F#sus4 Esus2 (4x)
[Verse 4]
G#m7 F#/A# B5 E
I wait in 4/4 time
G#m7 F#/A# B5 E
Count yellow highway lines
C#m/F# B5 G#m7 F#sus4 Esus2
That you're relying on to lead you home.
That you're relying on to lead you home.
That you're relying on to lead you home.
