[Verse 1]
E
Drunken sleep, a shepard without his sheep
E
Taking what you've said and slowly admitting defeat
C#m
And when the casket closes and all my mistakes are exposed
C#m
It'll be such a relief for you to know the road that I'd chose
A
And when you think of me in your bed
A
When you're trying to fall asleep some nights
Am7
I hope I'm not remembered as a "Truck" or someone you despise
F#m
I'm composed of cheap cigs and fast food
I need your time but I'm not trying to intrude
F#m7
I just needed you to hear me
A
Not the guy you've heard that sings those songs, the real me with feeling
A
The one who did you wrong
A
I long for just a minute, a minute of your time
A
I'll probably ask for forgiveness 'cause right now I'm in my prime
F#m
Every single second of every day
Am7
And every moment I replay all of the words I said, the ways I left you broken
F#m
I'm choking and soaking in things she wrote in her notes
F#m
And I feel a lump in my throat
F#m
Just wishing time could be frozen
A A
Detached I relapse and sit back and watch the days pass
A
Maybe it's best if I'm forgotten with no backlash
A Dm7
And it's somehow so soothing to see you finally move on
Dm7
I don't feel like I'm losing
Dm7
It just hurts when you flaunt
F#m
I want something more for you than I could ever give
It makes me fucking sick inside you'd choose me over him
Dm7
'Cause I can't buy you nice things or even things that you need
F#m7
I'd steal the moon for you or food for you and starve while you feed
F#m7 C#m
Can't you see? I'm a mess, an added stress, a vacant nest
Am7
Glued together by memories and you said it best
A
Life's a bitch until we die
And for the longest time I tried to tell myself that that was a lie
F#m
And I'd shy away from thoughts like that but now I just thrive
Some days I feel as if my brain won't let me unwind
Dm7
I sound so pathetic but I'm losing my pride
But I can't hide in it, I'll die in it before I subside
[Bridge]
A
Don't leave, don't leave me hanging
Am7 Dm7 A
All your things packed in your car and I'm facing
A
All the things that I said
A F#m
All the nights stuck in my bed
D
Wishing you could leave
Dm7
But you were scared of losing me
[Verse 2]
F#m7
Watching your car pull out of the driveway for one last time
A A Dm7
I'm sick and I'm stuck in a rut, it's a thin line between all the tensions
A
The suffering and trials
A
And my own self absorbed way of life
A F#m
I'm a child, I wanna taste you one more time
F#m
And tell you you're all mine but now I'm left with no spine
Dm7
And all the blame's just mine, it's a crime
Dm7
To hold you here with those eyes
Dm7 F#m
If you ever see or think of me I hope you realize
F#m
That you're better off now
F#m Dm7
And I'll always be proud
