intro : A C# B A C# A x2
A C# B

B C# A
you’ve got lunch with your sister tomorrow
E B
so we can’t be up late
C# A
you don’t mind if i sleep in
E B
but then i’ve gotta pack my things
C# A E B
so i stacked a bukowski novel on a blacklisted lp
C# A E B
and this time what it looked like was just what it proved to be
C# A E
you said you needed a stiff drink
C# A B
to take your mind off things
E B C#
hey jess , i woke up older
G#m A E B
carrying two years in the bags under my eyes

E B C# G#m A
hey jess , i watched you wake up and get dressed
E B A C# B
you left the room receded like my hairline

C# A
i’ve been avoiding rittenhouse like the plague
E B
because i just can’t handle seeing you today
C# A
you made this house into a home
E B
now , i’m a stranger on my street
C# B
and as i turned to leave
E B C# A
i caught myself in the mirror to see
E B A
i aged a year this week
C# A E
i left a note up on your bed that said
B C# A E B
hey , thanks again for everything you did

repeat chorus
C# B A
when john introduced woke up new in st . augustine

C# B A
when i woke up here without you
C# A B
there was nothing to do but pack up and go home
