[Verse 1]

Am
Hey
Am C
I retraced my steps
C Em Em
I dusted my memory for fingerprints
Am
Your haunted head
Am C
Is nowhere in sight
C Em
Yeah we were on a roll
Em
Unstoppable now
Am Am
Unexaminted like a flyover town
Csus4 Csus4 C
A siren describing a strangers house
Em Em
While we trophy around
Am
And light ourselves up
Am C
Cause we need to remember about as
C
much as my drink needs an orange umbrella
Em Em
baby this kind of stuff
F
Don’t happen to smart kids like us

[Chorus]
G Am F C
Tell me how was I supposed to know
Dm Am Fsus2 C
I’d be the one who would let you
Gsus4 Am C Am

Hey
Am C
I didn’t feel a thing
C Em
Call it a calling
Em Am
My speciality Come the night
Am C C
Well there’s no need to starT
Em
Wrapping my rattled head
Em
Around your absent heart now
Am Am
Volunteers awake in a dream
Csus4 Csus4
With transplant scars up and down your sleeves and
Em Em
squeaky minds to feed
Am Am
Before the shock of finding that nothing profound comes from
C C
all the magnificent shit you talk about
Em Em
Babe when that one wears off
F
You’re gonna need a whole new shock

[Chorus]

Tell me how was I supposed to know

C G F C C
Yeah I stumble round a room that don’t have walls anymore
G F
A room that don’t have a door anymore
G F
In circles running my hand along the wall
Am F C
Tell me how was I supposed to know
Dm7 Am Fsus2 C
I’d be the one who would let you
Gsus4 Am C Am
