[Verso 1]
G
Staying at Mike's 'til the end of June
G
He went back home, so I'm in his room
D A
It's cool, lonely too
G
I'd get up at 11:00 just to go outside
G D A
Don't have to leave the house, but I feel like tryin'
G
I'm sitting on a chair, tryna count the leaves
G
That fall onto the grass when the neighbors leave
D A
And shut their doors enough to shake the ground
G Bm A G
Oh, I keep singing thoughts as if that makes them leave my mind
Bm A G
Resort to watching other people live their lives
Bm A G
And give them mine like trading places
Bm A
As if I could escape it
[Refrão]
Em D A
'Cause when everything stops, but the ceiling fan in my room
Em D A
The thought creeps in that the person I saw in the mirror can't fill my shoes
[Verso 2]
G
So I started drinking coffee at a place that I like
G D
On Adelaide West near the park that I'd lie awake in
A
With my friends after getting wasted
G
No, it doesn't even matter that I hate the taste
G D
I just wanna hear the chatter from a different table
A G
I let the noise replace what's in my mind
Bm A G
Instead of facing things I thought I left behind
Bm A G
I'd rather listen to a stranger live their life
Bm A G
And give them mine like trading places
Bm A
As if I could escape it
[Refrão]
Em D A
'Cause when everything stops, but the ceiling fan in my room
Em D A
The thought creeps in that the person I saw in the mirror can't fill my shoes
