E B F#m A
[Verse]
EIt took a week full of Mondays
And every MBonday it rained
I fought the F#mlaw and the dull
And got nAothing but pain
I got tEwisted up and low
A lBittle insane
I watched eF#mverything I love
ACircle the drain
[Chorus]
F#mClose your eByes
EThen you'll AseeA/G#  
F#mIt was Ball
Just a dAream
[Interlude]
E B F#m A
[Verse]
I bought a Ecar in Wilmington
I said goodbBye to my friends
I said "F#mthings will be different,
When I sAee you again"
Well we hEugged and talked,
The Bsmallest talk
It started F#mraining in the rear-view
as they sAhuffled off
[Chorus]
F#mClose your eByes
EThen you'll AseeA/G#  
F#mIt was Ball
Just a dAream
[Interlude]
E B F#m A
[Verse]
Now there's a lEot of bodies
By the sBide of the road
F#mCareful who's driving
You don't wAanna be a ghost
Now it won't aElways be easy
But it won't aBlways be hard
Just F#mlisten to the cracks
In your bAroken heart
[Chorus]
F#mClose your eByes
EThen you'll AseeA/G#  
F#mIt was Ball
Just a dAream
[Interlude]
E B F#m A

EHome is where the hurt is
So I’m wBriting this down
Don’t tC#mhink I didn’t love you
I just dAidn’t wanna drown

[Intro]

E B F#m A

[Verse]

It took a week full of Mondays

And every Monday it rained

F#m

I fought the law and the dull

And got nothing but pain

I got twisted up and low

A little insane

F#m

I watched everything I love

Circle the drain

[Chorus]

F#m B

Close your eyes

E A A/G#

Then you'll see

F#m B

It was all

Just a dream

[Interlude]

E B F#m A

[Verse]

I bought a car in Wilmington

I said goodbye to my friends

F#m

I said "things will be different,

When I see you again"

Well we hugged and talked,

The smallest talk

F#m

It started raining in the rear-view

as they shuffled off

[Chorus]

F#m B

Close your eyes

E A A/G#

Then you'll see

F#m B

It was all

Just a dream

[Interlude]

E B F#m A

[Verse]

Now there's a lot of bodies

By the side of the road

F#m

Careful who's driving

You don't wanna be a ghost

Now it won't always be easy

But it won't always be hard

F#m

Just listen to the cracks

In your broken heart

[Chorus]

F#m B

Close your eyes

E A A/G#

Then you'll see

F#m B

It was all

Just a dream

[Interlude]

E B F#m A

[Outro]

Home is where the hurt is

So I’m writing this down

C#m

Don’t think I didn’t love you

I just didn’t wanna drown
