C Am G
And I, I wanted to tear down the curtains
C Am G
To let, let in some natural light
C Am
I wake up and open one eye
C F G
And wait for the window to crack at me, alone
 
C Am G
And I, I wanted to curl up beside you
C Am G
And die, at least for an hour or more
C Am
Depending on how you react
C F
Depending on how you respond to me
G
I'll stick around
 
C Am
We're kidding ourselves kidding ourselves

So what do you want from me

'Cause as long as there's a payphone and
C G
a taxi cab I'm alright 'cause I can leave home
C Am
We're kidding ourselves kidding ourselves

So what are you waiting for

'Cause even with a fast car and a
C G
cellphone I won't leave 'cause I'd be alone
 
C Am G
So tonight, let's be as bold as we want to
C Am G
And drink, drink 'til we fall down the steps
C Am
Remember how that made us laugh
C F G
Remember how all that we did was laugh, and cry

We're kidding ourselves kidding ourselves

So what do you want from me

an alleyway that I can call home
