Tuning: Half Step Down
Intro:  F#5   Em   A  D  
I Adon't really think that I'm rC#meady for aDnother Chicago wAinter 
So you can C#mstop making my bDones feel cold 
I sAwear that emptiness lives C#minside your Dchest 
You're the reAason you fell far away C#mfrom what bDrought out your bAest 
Don't get me wDronAg, I wish a lot of things were the wDay Athey used to be 
F#m Em A D
The Astreets that used to make me feel aDlivAe just make me feel aDlonAe 
The holes in the wall get bigger eF#mvery EmyeAar D  
Interlude:  D   D   D  
ItA's hard to tEhink that some pBeople in this wDorld look at me
WAith the same eEyes as yDours I've been breaking all ten fingers for you 
AAnd you wouldn't eEven lift one Bup for me D  
AppreciAation's something you lEost in the dDirt that's on your hands and knees D  E  
Interlude: A C#m, D (x 2)
But I'm never gAonna be just a hole in the F#mwall 
You can anchor down your feEet and say fuck the past and eDveryone that dragged you here 
IA'm not putting myself on a pF#medestal 
You need to stand up for yourEself and who you claim you used to Dbe 
ItA's hard to tEhink that some pBeople in this wDorld look at me
WAith the same eEyes as yDours I've been breaking all ten fingers for you 
AAnd you wouldn't eEven lift one Bup for me D  
AppreciAation's something you lEost in the dDirt that's on your hands and knees D  E  
(Mute interlude: Anchor down your feet, say fuck the past and everyone that dragged you here 
Just stand up for yourself and who you claim you used to be!)
Bridge: A, D
ItA's hard to tEhink that some pBeople in this wDorld look at me
WAith the same eEyes as yDours I've been breaking all ten fingers for you 
AAnd you wouldn't eEven lift one Bup for me D  
AppreciAation's something you lEost in the dDirt that's on your hands and knees D  E
