A E C#
You used to make me feel like I could walk on water
E A E C# B
Now most nights I'm just sinking down and down

You're the reason why I can't listen to the same songs I used to
E C# B
I write songs about you all the time
A E C# B
I bet I don't run through your mind
B E
I've given up on you,
A B
But it still hurts to know you're not alone
A
Don't worry,

I'll keep out of your life and stay awake at night
A E A
It's 4a.m. and you're keeping me from closing these sleepy eyes

Like the light on the ceiling of your bedroom

Lately, my dog's the only one around that listens to my problems

It's been a lonely year x2

I'll keep out of your life and stay awake at night

With just my skin and bones

I've given up on you, and my skin, and my bones
