...sleeping on my side

[Verse]

I finish kissing my death

So now I head back up the steps

Thinking about where I've been

I mean it's always never like this

I wanna feel with the season

I guess it makes sense

B D#m G#m

That my life's become as vapid as

B D#m G#m

A night out in Los Angeles

B D#m G#m F#m C#

And I just wanna stay in bed

[Pre-Chorus]

B F#

I hold you like I used to

B F#

You know that I am home

B F#

So darling if you love me

G#m D#m B C#

Will you let me know?

[Chorus]

Or go on, go on, go on

G#m C#

If you've been thinking that the worst is yet to come

B F#

Why am I the one

B C#

Always packing up my stuff?

For once, for once, for once

G# C#

I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong

B F#

Why am I the one

B C#

Always packing up my stuff?

[Verse]

She's got enough on her mind

That she feels no sorrow

I let my faith fill the air

Now she's rolling down the window

Never been one to hold on

But I need a last breath

B D#m G#m

So I ask if she remembers when

B D#m G#m

She used to come and visit

B D#m G#m F# C#

Man, we were fools to think that nothing could go wrong

[Chorus]

Or go on, go on, go on

G#m C#

If you've been thinking that the worst is yet to come

B F#

Why am I the one

B C#

Always packing up my stuff?

For once, for once, for once

Always packing up my stuff?

B F#

I think I kind of like it

But I might have had too much

[Bridge]

I'll move back down

To this western town

G#m

When they find me out

Make no mistake about it

I'll move back down

To this western town
