D#maj7 A#
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound

D#maj7 F
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found

D#maj7 Gm
And I'm chasing after you steadily losing ground

F D# (strum twice)
I don't wanna forget so I'm writing it down

A# Gm F A# A#2

D#
Have you ever No never never
A#
I find that hard to believe
D#
So let's burn the furniture
A#
To see how angry a fire could make me

D# F Gm A#
Now you say that there's someone that you need to reconnect with

D# F Gm A#
Some scarecrow from high school that you loved but never slept with

D# F Gm A#
A baby with a pipe dream playing hopscotch on your bandages

D#maj7 A#
And I'm singing all his songs while I sleep on your couch

D#maj7 F
I'm coughing up a lung but I'm covering my mouth

D#maj7
And I paint you on the wall

Gm
Yellow red green and brown

F D# (strum twice)
I miss you all the time but I'm blocking it out

A# Gm F A# A#2

D#
Are you better No never never
A#
What does that say about me
D#
Now let's break the smoke alarm
A#
To see how scared locked windows'll make me

D# F Gm A#
So you say there's a stranger staring sideways in a deep freeze

D# F Gm A#
A loner draped in ivy playing slumlord in his city dream

D# F Gm A#
A faker with an art form pulling magic tricks on the weak girls up his sleeve

D#maj7 A#
And I'm choking right along with the words in my throat

D#maj7 F
I'm falling back in love with the letter you wrote

D#maj7 Gm
And I think that I was wrong but I guess I don't know

F D# (strum twice)
I figure that I'll wait until you tell me so

Bridge:
Gm F D# Gm F Em F

D#maj7 A#
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound

D#maj7 F
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found

D#maj7 Gm
And I'm chasing after you steadily losing ground

F A#
I miss you all the time but I'm blocking it out

D#maj7 A#
The longer that I'm out here

D#maj7 F
The longer that I'm out here

D#maj7 Gm F
The longer that I'm out here

D# (strum twice)
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound
