Intro: Am Em7 C
Am Em7
I saw two faces in the light, of a dead end street
C
Begged them for a smoke and we started to speak
Am Em7
Counting bricks in the wall, and my voice cracks
C
I said (you see I've got this boy, and he don't love me back.)
Am Em7
So we walk for a bit, and Jesse grabs me hard
C
He said (come back down to earth from where ever you are)
Am Em7
But his words don't register, I'm lost in your eyes
C
And this dial tone will kill me by the end of night
( Am G Em7 )
Am Em7 C
Come on and wrap me up, let me tilt you back and swim
Am Em7 C
I want your taste on my tongue, won't you warm my bones within?
Am Em7 C Am
Reveal yourself to me, on this dark and empty street
Em7 C Am
You can feel yourself in me, swallow you down so easily
Am Em7
Now it's getting kind of late, so I thank them for their time
C
Trip over sidewalk blocks and slurred words, that I know aren't even mine
Am Em7
Jack's a better friend than Jesse cause he puts the pain to ease
C
Though I know i'll be alone tonight despite how much I bleed…
Am Em7 C
Come on and wrap me up, let me tilt you back and swim
Am Em7 C
I want your taste on my tongue, won't you warm my bones within?
Am Em7 C Am
Reveal yourself to me, on this dark and empty street
Em7 C Am
You can feel yourself in me, swallow you down so easily
Em7
Half closed eyes and my shoes untied
C
Know I'll be falling asleep in my Levi's tonight
Am Em7
Jack's a lonely friend, despite what I intend
C
Though I'll be waking up to messages I couldn't send…
Am Em7 C
Come on and wrap me up, let me tilt you back and swim
Am Em7 C
I want your taste on my tongue, won't you warm my bones within?
Am Em7 C Am
Reveal yourself to me, on this dark and empty street
Em7 C Am
You can feel yourself in me, swallow you down so easily
Em7 C Am
Reveal yourself to me, on this dark and empty street
Em7 C Am
You can feel yourself in me, swallow you down so easily
