(see above riff)

E/A Dsus2

So you wrote it down I’m supposed to care

E Esus

Even though it’s never there

Dsus2*

Sorry if I’m not prepared

E/A Dsus2

Is it hard to see the things you substitute

E Esus

For me and all my thoughts of you

Dsus2*

It’s eating me alive to leave you

E/A Dsus2

I’m breathing in your skin tonight

E Esus

Quiet is my loudest cry

D*

Wouldn’t want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside

E/A Dsus2

And if it’s healthier to leave you be

E Esus

May your sickness come and set me free

Dsus2*

Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me

A5 C#5 D5

I’m writing my own words, my own little stage

E5 A5

My own epic drama, my own scripted page

C#5 D5

I’ll send you the rough draft, I’ll seal it with tears

E5 N.C.

Maybe you’ll read it and I’ll reappear

A5 C#5 D5

From the start it was shaky and the characters rash

E5 A5

A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last

C#5 D5

Oh, I haven’t even sought to overcome this desire

E5 D Dm

Of friendly intentions and fare-weathered smiles

A E F#m D

And I don’t want to be, don’t want to be wro- -ong

A E Dsus2

You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me in lieu of this song

A E F#m D

Don’t want to be, don’t want to be wro- -ong

A E Dsus2

You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this song

A E F#m D

Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one

A E F#m D

Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one

A E F#m D

Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one

A E Dm(V) Ddim7 A

Like Saturday night I’ll be gone before you knew that I was there
