verse 1 :
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
and we’re all dressed up , no place to run
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
no car , no girl , no pills , no fun
Am Am7 Am Am7
nothing to do in this empty room
Am Am7 Am Am7
i gotta get my head together soon

C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
alone again , no plans , no friends
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
you come around at half past ten
Am Am7 Am Am7
and say “how are you holding up my friend?
Am Am7 Am Am7
are you sitting around getting drunk again?”

chorus 1 :
Dm Em
and i hear the desperation of those lines
F G
wasted hours , all this wasted time

yeah , i been just fine!

C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7

Am Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7

verse 2 :
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
and we’re out the door in an hour more
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
we stumble down from the second floor
Am Am7 Am Am7
and we’re swaying and braying
Am Am7 Am Am7
we don’t know what we’re saying

C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
and you grab my shirt , your way so curt
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
i swear to god that this doesn’t hurt
Am Am7 Am Am7
when you stare like that , you put on that act
Am Am7 Am Am7
you say something and then you take it back

chorus 2 :
Dm Em
and i feel as though i’ve done something wrong
F G
oh , how i miss you when you are gone

interlude :

verse 3 :
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
and i wish i had the guts to scream
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
you know , things aren’t always what they seem
Am Am7 Am Am7
when you walk away , i want you to stay
Am Am7 Am Am7
don’t leave me here to pace and pray

C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
all these nights i burned , hours i turned
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
you’d think that by now i’d learned
Am Am7 Am Am7
that you’re only what you pretend to be
Am Am7 Am Am7
i guess that was just lost on me

chorus 3 :
Dm Em
and i can’t stand the way you look at me in that dress
F G
oh papillon , i might be alright i guess

if i wasn’t such a mess

outro ( same chords as verse ) :

C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 Am
i’m such a mess
Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7 C
i’m such a mess

Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7 C
i’m such a mess
