[Verse 1]
ALooking outG#side my window
GAll I F#see is gray
DI'm watching the C#clouds roll by every Bmday
AAnd we make a G#reservation
F#You say you'll be on Etime
DI say, "I might C#be a little Bmlate"
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I Gpull it together and Ebrush my teeth
And Dcomb my hair
GI stop to Ethink and I can see you Dthere
I Gthink of the times you've Ewaited
DJust for me to care
DI care about youE  
[Verse 2]
AChecking the G#clock inside
The Groom we call our F#own
DI see that I'm C#late, I should get Bmgoing
AHop on a Glocal transit
F#Spending all my Echange
DOh, I can still hC#ear the teleBmphone
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I Gwanna go back but I'm Ehalfway to
DThe place where we will meet
GAnd I'm Ehalf dead on my Dfeet
GAnd once I Eget there I see
DEverything's the same
DHere comes the rainE  
[Bridge]
EYou left me standing
AAah Baah DaahD  
AAah Baah DaahE  
AAah Baah DaahE  
D   E   D   E
[Pre-Chorus]
I Gshould have guessed that you'd Estand me up
DWhy did I even go now
GAnd I Eguess it goes to Dshow
GThe snow may Ewell thaw out
But it Dgoes right down the drain
DYou left me, you left me
You left me, Eyou left me
[Chorus]
AYou left me Bstanding in the DrainE  
AYou left me Bstanding in the DrainE  
AYou left me Bstanding in the DrainE  
DOh, I Eknow now
AYou left me Bstanding in the DrainE  
AYou left me Bstanding in the Drain, Eoh now
AYou left me Bstanding in the DrainE  
EOh, why oh, why oh, why did I Eeven go now
ANow, Bnow, DnowE  
ANow, Bnow, DnowE  
ANow, Bnow, DnowE  
DOh, I Eknow now
AYou left me Bstanding in the DrainE  
AYou left me Bstanding in the Drain, Eoh now
AYou left me Bstanding in the DrainE  
DOh, I Eknow now
