A E/F# B E/F# Asus
A E/F#
There's something endearing
B Asus
About this empty room.
A E/F#
The sun is in my eyes now,
B Asus
it's a quarter past two.
A E/F#
And I've got my guitar,
B Asus
and you've got your space,
A
so I'm stuck in this place.
E/F# B E/F# Asus
I'm stuck in this place.
A E/F#
I kinda don't mind it,
B Asus
I'm losing my mind.
A E/F#
Put off what's important,
B E/F# Asus
if it'll buy me some time.
A
Time to get braver,
E/F#
time to postpone
B
the evident failure
Asus
I can't seem to disown.
A
And I'm still alone,
E/F# B E/F# Asus
yeah I'm still alone.
A E/F# B Asus
A E/F# B E/F# Asus
Will you take me home? x4
A E/F#
The day is not over,
B Asus
I'm still in my bed,
A E/F#
'cause sleep is the answer
B E/F# Asus
to the questions that float in my head.
A E/F#
And I am not sober,
B Asus
and I am not well,
A
I thought you could tell.
E/F# B E/F# Asus
You never could tell.
A E/F#
I have nothing but patience
B Asus
and nothing to lose,
A E/F#
'cause you've given me nothing
B E/F# Asus
in the time that it takes you to choose.
A
And there's no excuse now,
E/F#
for making mistakes.
B
It's time to grow up,
Asus
face the choices you make.
A
You take and you take,
E/F# B E/F# Asus
and I'm starting to break.
A E/F# B Asus A E/F# B E/F# Asus
