    [D]He kinda shoulda [G]sorta woulda [A]loved her if he [A]coulda.

    [A]I've never [E]been too good with [D]names.
    [A]The cellar [E]door was open, [G]I could never [D/F#]stay away.
  • [A]I know it's [E]probably not my [D]place.
    [A]It's either [E]or I'm hopin' [G]for a simple [D/F#]way of sayin'...

    If I make it through today,
    I'll know tomorrow not to put my feelings out on display.
  • I'll put the cobwebs back in place.
    I've never been to good with names, but I remember faces.
     
  •  
    Waiting for something to break
    Left my heart out to bake
  • Nothing there in my glass
    Wasn't never made to last
     
  • Hope in my past
     
    All the way down to the lake
  • Found the lake was wet
    How much more could I take?
    Better yet
  • Walked back home to my place
    Tired of getting high
    Guess I don't wanna die
  •  
    Hope in my past
     
  • Waiting for something to break
    Left my heart out to bake
    Slipped my mind that I could use my brain
  • I'll stay up all night and crash on the plane
    A ship without a rudder is like a ship without a rudder
    is like a ship without a rudder
  •  
     
    [F]She's coming [Gm]over
  • [Dm]We'll go out [Bb]walking
    [F]and make a [Gm]call on the way [Dm] [Bb]
     
  • She's in the phone booth now
    I'm looking in
    There comes a smile on her face
  •  
    Still got some of the same stuff we got yesterday
    Still got some of the same stuff we got yesterday, yeah
  •  
    I'm too much with myself
    I want to be someone else
  • I'm too much with myself
    I want to be someone else
    I'm too much with myself
  • I want to be someone else
     
    So we take off
  • at Fiona's door
    Walkin' till its light outside
    Like before when we were on the phone
  •  
    We have to laugh to look at each other
    We have to laugh because we're not alone
  • As the cars fly up King St.
    It's enough to startle us
    It's enough to startle us
  •  
    I love my drug buddy
    My drug, my drug buddy
  • I love my drug buddy
    My drug, my drug buddy
     
  •  
    I'm lost and the see-through
    Pane always needs a bath
  • Between a want and a need to
    Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path
     
  • My country was of thee
    Now why'd you have to leave
    How'd this come to have to pass
  • Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path
    Mark my path
    Mark my path down
