[Verse 1]
They Ebsay the truth's your best defence
I'm Gmbleeding just to pay the rent
And Cmbroken dreams mean nothing
When you need Absomething
Just to get you through the year
[Verse 2]
  EbAnd now we're moving out
So Gmpack your clothes, your books, your doubt
AnCmd bring the piece of paper
That I Abgave you, back when you were all alone
[Pre-chorus 1]
   EbLetters sent Gmhome with no return Cmaddress
I've got a bag full of Abold clothes
I've got a Abbag full of stress
[Chorus 1]
     Cm  AbI'm so Ebsorry that I'm lCmeavingAb  
You so Eblittle to believe in
Cm  Gm  C  Ab
[Verse 3]
'Cause we had a Ebhouse
With a perfect door and a Gmfront room
With the right decor
And I Cmcame and wrecked it all
Yes, I Abcame and wrecked it all like I always do
[Pre-Chorus 2]
    Eb'Cause I didn't think and I Gmpoured your life down the kitchen sink
With the Cmdregs of yesterday
And now AbI'm going to be late
[Chorus 2]
I'm Cmsorry
AbI'm so Ebsorry that I'm CmleavingAb  
You so Eblittle to believe in
    CmJust tell me, Abthat you're free, Ebof your woes and of me
     Cm       AbThere's Ebweather more reliable than me
[Bridge]
   EbI'm calling base command as the last bit of oxygen runs out but
N.C.
They're down there softly sleeping
The sun sets over the Pacific region
  EbI'm sitting here hanging in the balance
N.C.
Just barely in the atmosphere
N.C.
I'm sitting here hanging in the balance
Just barely in the atmosphere
[Chorus 2]
     Cm  AbI'm so Ebsorry that I'm lCmeavingAb  
You so Eblittle to believe in
    CmJust tell me, Abthat you're free, Ebof your woes and of me
     Cm       AbThere's Ebweather more reliable than me
[Outro]
    CmAs Ablonely as EbLaika
Up there all alone
  CmYou miss the Abatmosphere
The Ebstars are now your home

[Intro]

Cm Gm Ab Eb

[Verse 1]

They say the truth's your best defence

I'm bleeding just to pay the rent

And broken dreams mean nothing

When you need something

Just to get you through the year

[Verse 2]

And now we're moving out

So pack your clothes, your books, your doubt

And bring the piece of paper

That I gave you, back when you were all alone

[Pre-chorus 1]

Eb Gm Cm

Letters sent home with no return address

I've got a bag full of old clothes

I've got a bag full of stress

[Chorus 1]

I'm so sorry that I'm leaving

You so little to believe in

'Cause we had a house

With a perfect door and a front room

With the right decor

And I came and wrecked it all

'Cause I didn't think and I poured your life down the kitchen sink

With the dregs of yesterday

And now I'm going to be late
