[Intro]
F#m E D A
F#m(x3)E  A  A  
[Verse 1]
Please fall F#masleep so I can take Epictures of you and Dhang them in my rooAm
So when I'll wF#make up I'll be like "YeEah, everything's all rAight"
You are still F#mhere, you are still haEppy.
You are still sDmiling and laughiAng.
You are still the F#monly thing and eEverything I need in my lAife
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And it goes Ain, in, oEut through the mouth
BF#mreathing exercises I will neEver figure out
So I am rAunning in circles or
WEalking in circles or
CF#mrawling in circles or
LEying on the grouDnd.
[Chorus 1]
And BmI
Can hear your dog whEistle from my bedroom.A  
YeDah, yeah
And BmI
Can see a flashlight cuEttin'
Up the trees behind my hAouse.
Yeah yDeah yeah yeah yeah.
[Interlude]
F#m E D A
F#m(x2)E  A  A  
[Verse 2]
She says a lot of the kF#mids we graduated wEith are now homeless
Which puts tDhem in mad shady situations with mAad shady people
If F#mnot everyday, tEhen on an every other day bAasis
And she's probably with a F#mfew of them right Enow
And they are probably just drDinking and talking aAbout
How she misses gettin' fuF#mcked up and hEangin' aroundA  
And he says "F#mHey, you're good at that" and she says "TEhanks. It's kDind of
All I gAot, " and then she looks aF#mway and says, "It's aElso all I nAeed"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I can sAmell plastic bEurning,
I can smell chF#memicals breaking dEown
I got your lAast three emEails,
The ones where you F#msaid,
"I was sEorting some things oDut"
And Bmhe will be able to hear her dog wEhistle from his beAdroom
YeDah yeah.
[Chorus 2]
And BmI
Can see a flashlight cEuttin'
Up the trees behind my hAouse.
YeDah yeah.
And BmI will read the flashing
Like a MDorse code explanation
Though it'll mean noAthing
But take all night to figure out, out, out
[Interlude]
F#m E D A
F#m E A A
[Outro]
When I am F#msad, I am Esad. But when I am Dhappy, oh God, I'm Ahappy
(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room)
There's just no F#mplace in betwEeen for us to mAeet
(So when I'll wake up I'll be like yeah everything's all right.)
When I am F#msad, I am Esad. But when I am Dhappy, oh God, I'm Ahappy
(You are still here, you are still happy. You are still smiling and laughing)
There's just no F#mplace in betweEen for us to mAeet
(You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life.)
When I am F#msad, oh God, I'm sEad, but when I'm haDppy, I am haAppy

And there's just no F#mplace in betwEeen for us to mAeet
(So when I'll wake up I'll be like, "Yeah, everything's all right")
When I am F#msad, oh God, I'm sEad, but when I'm hDappy, I am haAppy
(You are still here, you are still happy. You are still smiling and laughing.)
And there's just no pF#mlace in betweEen for us to mAeet
I am sad
