Call Me Back

[Verse 1]
Bb Cm
Running on empty, I waited years in a past life
Eb
Running out of rope and the water’s high
Cm
I drowned for you and I didn’t regret it
Gm Bb
Don’t text me back in the afterlife
Cm7
Needed the time, I didn’t realize
Eb
I had it all along, can’t take my own advice
Gm
Conflated, filling the gaps for love

[Chorus]
Bb
And it’s obvious
Cm
That I’m caved in and breaking up
Eb
But I know it’s good

I know it’s good
Cm
Though it’s over now
F Bb
In my dreams, you call me back
Ebmaj7
But I hope you don’t

I hope you don’t, uh

[Verse 2]
Cm7
I hope you’re gone and lost in better days
Gm
I’ve been watching the time, how it erodes away
Ebmaj7
Thinking ‘bout how the last years feel like yesterday
Bb
How did I lose grip on it?
G Cm
Honest, been falling through nightmares lightyears away
Gm
And doing my best to keep those thoughts at bay
Eb
And finding my highlights in the loudest places
Bb Fm F
And strangers’ faces, getting caught up in the race of it

[Verse 3]

Ebmaj7
And walking through the clearing crowd

If we took our chances (when it’s time to go)
Bb Eb
But we exchanged glances, yeah
G
Call it in the moment (when did I lose all this love?)
Eb Gm
And walking down the road that I grew up on
Eb Bb
And falling out of habits
Gm Gm7
Stopped bleeding for empathy’s sake

[Chorus]
Bb Bb/A
And it’s obvious
Cm Cm7
That I’m caved in and breaking up
Bb
But I know it’s good
Eb
I know it’s good
Gm Bb
Though it’s over now
Eb Dm
In my dreams, you call me back
Cm
But I hope you don’t
Bb Gm
I hope you don’t (Oh oh)

[Verse 4]

Bb Cm Eb
‘Cause I don’t need you to tell me (I’m walking through the clearing)
Gm7 Cm Eb
(Breaking, breaking up) I, I don’t need you to tell me that
Gm7 Cm Eb
I don’t need you to tell me that (and walking down the road that I grew up on)
Gm7 Cm Eb
Oh, I don’t need you to tell me

[Instrumental Transition]
Cm Gm7 Bb

[Verse 5]

Cm
It’s okay, I’m going
Eb Gm
I’m searching for what I am now
Bb Cm7
Find you if it’s urgent
Eb Gm Gm7
Or if I’m hurting more than I am now
Bb Cm7
And we’ll come back here someday
Eb Gm
And laugh about it, memories that don’t know
Bb Cm Eb
How it felt like I was burning while you weren’t watching
Gm
Took everything I loved
Bb Cm
Now nowhere feels like home (home)
Eb Gm
Now nowhere feels like home (home)
Bb Cm7
Now nowhere feels like home (home)

[Outro]

Bb Cm
Yeah
Eb Gm7
Ooh
Bb
Now nowhere feels like home

Been a long life, still got mad time
Cm7
Took a wrong right on it last time
Eb
Through the long night, made it out alright

Told my brother, “Hold tight”
Gm
Some times, I can feel it
Bb
Some times, I still
Cm7
Sometimes, I feel
Eb
Some times

[Fade out]
Bb Cm
Now nowhere feels like, nowhere feels like home (oh)
Eb Gm
Now nowhere feels like home, nowhere feels like home
Bb Cm
Now nowhere feels like home (nowhere feels like home)
Eb Gm
Nowhere feels like–
