 Bm-  G-  D- A  
BmDirty hotel laundry rooms
GOld apartments, basic viewDs
We are the kings, we are the kAings
BmNever sleep and barely eat
GWe can hardly catch a dream
DBut it's better then that 9 to A5
     BmNo more cheap afGfairs
No more sideways Dstares
When I Atell you where I've been last Bmnight
No more cryptic Gnotes
Of when I'll be Dhome
You kAnow you're better off alGone
I hate to Atell you this
BmOver the phone
There was Gportland and Acolumbus
That's Bmtwice in a year
GBaby I'm a mess and you Dknow
I'm out of contArol
I'm feeling Bmcrazy when I'm all alone
GThe kind of crazy that Dmakes you start shaking
ASaying things that you never Bmsay
GMaybe I Dthought we had a Ashot
We'd get lBmost and burn up all of the Gmaps
AAnd watch the world fall away
 Bm-  G-  D- A  
BmSeven hundred "I owe you"s
GHolidays and birthdays toDo
I've missed them all, I've missed them aAll
BmFailed attempts at randevъ
GThis is just a dying cause
DBut we talked it out and made a tAruth
     BmNo more cheap afGfairs
No more sideways Dstares
When I Atell you where I've been last Bmnight
No more cryptic Gnotes
Of when I'll be Dhome
You kAnow you're better off alGone
I hate to Atell you this
BmOver the phone
There was Gportland and Acolumbus
That's Bmtwice in a year
GBaby I'm a mess and you Dknow
I'm out of contArol
I'm feeling Bmcrazy when I'm all alone
GThe kind of crazy that Dmakes you start shaking
ASaying things that you never Bmsay
GMaybe I Dthought we had a Ashot
We'd get lBmost and burn up all of the Gmaps
AAnd watch the world fall away
GJudging by the look on your Dface
You don't get it
Like Aevery word I said was abBmandoned grace
GStaring at me like you're amDazed
My bad habits are Aholding me up and aBmway from yoGuA  
GBaby I'm a mess and you Dknow
I'm out of contArol
I'm feeling Bmcrazy when I'm all alone
GThe kind of crazy that Dmakes you start shaking
