You found a new friend

When were you planning on telling me?

No, that's not fair
C Bb F C
Now I'm an asshole for asking, I'm sorry

And I started drinking like you did when you were nineteen

In a place where the wild and more mild-mannered agree

Just to throw it away

And now I spend all my nights in the bars with the neon hues

Every face here reminds me of you

And I keep falling so far out of tune

And I've been out dancing with kick drums and hotel rooms

As if I don't recall what I've seen before

For an all night drive to some distant shore

To a place where the weather will wash me and make me feel pure
