C
I know that I just
G
fucked up everything
Am
And I know that nights
like these might leave

a scar I gave up every

goddamn thing for you
Am
And now I'm stuck here
F
in the backseat of my car
Refrain:
C
But you know sometimes
G
when I'm drunk on wine
F Am G
I think I can change
C
But the morning kills
G
the hopes and hills
F Am G
turn mountain range
[Refrão]
C
And this world whirls
G
like a machine It keeps
Am
smashing my dreams So
F
I stay close to myself
Cause when you live in
C
hell You know things
G
never work out I can't
Am
consume all the doubt
I'm not surprised at
F
the way It ended up today
Post Chorus:
Am C
So whats the point as you
F
look down and close your
C F
eyes Theres a million ways
C G
that we've never tried
Am C
See all my friends are
F
already gone But you're
C
still here And as you
F
close the door I
C
watched your
G
mouth "goodbye"
verse 2:
C
And when I find my keys
G
I'm eastbound walking home
Am
And I curse this sky and

kick these cobblestones

I gave you every goddamn

weigh it up I guess
F
its not a lot
(Repeat Refrain)

These dark eyes have

focusedon the light
Gonna be another

And I hear almost

Were just getting

by in different ways

Now brick by brick
