Intro: C F Dm G
C F
I tapped on your window on your darkest night
Dm
The shape of you was jagged and weak
G
There was nowhere for me to stay, but I stayed anyway
F
And if I would've known
C
How many pieces you had crumbled into
F G
I might have let them lay
C
Are you really gonna talk about timin' in
Times like these?
F
And let all your damage, damage me
Dm
And carry your baggage up my street
G C
And make me your future history, it's time
F
You've come a long way, open the blinds
Let me see your face
Dm G
You wouldn't be the first renegade, to need somebody
Am C
Is it insensitive for me to say
F G
Get your shit together so I can love you?»
Am C
Is it really your anxiety that stops you from givin' me
F G
Everything? Or do you just not want to?
C F
I tapped on your window on your darkest night
Dm
The shape of you was jagged and weak
G
There was nowhere for me to stay, but I stayed anyway
C F
You fire off missiles 'cause you hate yourself
Dm
And do you know you're demolishin' me?
G
And then you squeeze my hand as I'm about to leave
C
Are you really gonna talk about timin' in
Times like these?
F
And let all your damage, damage me
Dm
And carry your baggage up my street

And make me your future history, it's time

You've come a long way, open the blinds
