[Intro]
A D A F#m E
[Verse]
You told me hAappiness is just a moment
From the pDorch of your Victorian apartment
We sat outsAide
The air was broken and summer was bF#marging inE  
The homeless lady pAushed her shopping carts
And your neighbors played mDariachi music until 4 am
You sAaid, "When this one passes I should probably wF#malk away."E  
"Because I'm gonna lBmeave you the first chance I gDet
I'm a blAack hole, I'm empty and dead
You can cBmarve your name in stoneD  
But it's just not pAermanent."
[Pre-Chorus]
But you F#mtold me you think you loEved me
When you coAllapsed on the floor of your rDoom
After you F#mtold me to leave
In that mEoment
I realized I was sAure I loved you too
[Interlude]
A D A F#m E
[Verse]
So now I'm always Aputting out fires with my bare hands
Until two bDlack stumps are all that remain
I don't tAhink my feeble heart's enough
To bF#mlanket these growing fElames
You can dArop me at the hospital
I'll ODD on morphine and dream about you
As my Aheart seizes one more time befF#more you go, and Ego
Then I'll pBmrobably wake up alDone and be alone foreAver
With an iBmtch on my back that I cDannot scratch
In the shAape of your heart forever
[Chorus]
Cause everybody lF#meavesE  
Everybody leAaves eventuallyD  
Everybody bF#mreaks
Bends too lEate
Nobody's haAppy
You'll never be hF#mappy this timeE  
When it's your heAart on the lineD  
So take a sF#mtep back
who would ever wEant to fall in love?A  
[Bridge]
Now Dit all plays out and the wEay you call me "bAabe"
ADies with every other nickname
DI have so many nEicknames I can't keep track anymore
I'll bury them in bDourbon and half-smoked cEigarettes
As we cAome A/G#to an eF#mndE  
Or to an uDnderstanding I don't wEant to understandA  
[Chorus]
Cause everybody lF#meavesE  
Everybody leAaves eventuallyD  
Everybody bF#mreaks
Bends too lEate
Nobody's haAppy
You'll never be hF#mappy this timeE  
When it's my heAart on the lineD  
"If I can't lF#move you, why would you eEver love me back?A  
"If I can't lF#move you, why would you eEver love me back?A  
I don't know how to lF#move you anymore
So pElease don't love me baAck."

F#m

A/G#

[Intro]

A D A F#m E

[Verse]

You told me happiness is just a moment

From the porch of your Victorian apartment

We sat outside

F#m E

The air was broken and summer was barging in

The homeless lady pushed her shopping carts

And your neighbors played mariachi music until 4 am

A F#m E

You said, "When this one passes I should probably walk away."

Bm D

"Because I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get

I'm a black hole, I'm empty and dead

Bm D

You can carve your name in stone

But it's just not permanent."

[Pre-Chorus]

F#m E

But you told me you think you loved me

A D

When you collapsed on the floor of your room

F#m

After you told me to leave

In that moment

I realized I was sure I loved you too

[Interlude]

A D A F#m E

[Verse]

So now I'm always putting out fires with my bare hands

Until two black stumps are all that remain

I don't think my feeble heart's enough

F#m E

To blanket these growing flames

You can drop me at the hospital

I'll OD on morphine and dream about you

A F#m E

As my heart seizes one more time before you go, and go

Bm D A

Then I'll probably wake up alone and be alone forever

Bm D

With an itch on my back that I cannot scratch

In the shape of your heart forever

[Chorus]

F#m E

Cause everybody leaves

A D

Everybody leaves eventually

F#m

Everybody breaks

Bends too late

Nobody's happy

F#m E

You'll never be happy this time

A D

When it's your heart on the line

F#m

So take a step back

E A

who would ever want to fall in love?

[Bridge]

D E A

Now it all plays out and the way you call me "babe"

Dies with every other nickname

D E

I have so many nicknames I can't keep track anymore

D E

I'll bury them in bourbon and half-smoked cigarettes

A A/G# F#m E

As we come to an end

D E A

Or to an understanding I don't want to understand

[Chorus]

F#m E

Cause everybody leaves

A D

Everybody leaves eventually

F#m

Everybody breaks

Bends too late

Nobody's happy

F#m E

You'll never be happy this time

A D

When it's my heart on the line

F#m E A

"If I can't love you, why would you ever love me back?

F#m E A

"If I can't love you, why would you ever love me back?

F#m

I don't know how to love you anymore

E A

So please don't love me back."
