[Verse 1]
  F#The fossils of my footsteps will C#be unearthed at a far off date, unknown
  F#Impressed in F#2concrete from C#walking home alone C#/D#after walking you home
F#2 F#2
  F#And the mops of greasy hair C#will romanticize my despair
   F#  F#2But they wont know    C#   C#/D#that I didn't care
[Chorus 1]
 Bbm        G#4   C#(  C#5) F#2  
  I like the silence,   I like the empty  streets
  Bbm   G#4   C#(  C#5) F#2  
  Crawl  down on my hands and knees in a heartbeat 
 Bbm   G#4   C#(  C#5) F#2  
              If I had to
  BbmI owe 'em that aG#t the very leastF#  
[Verse 2]
  F#The map had faded out but I C#could have sworn I noted every stride
  F#I guess the F#2rain hit beC#fore the ink had driC#/D#ed
  F#And where I thought I'd be C#was not what I perceived
  F#Assessing the F#2progress from benC#eath your sheC#/D#ets
[Chorus 2]
            Bbm        G#4   C#(  C#5) F#2  
  That's why I need the silence,   I need the empty  streets
   Bbm    G#4    C#(  C#5) F#2  
  Just as bad as they don't need me
           Bbm    G#4     C#(  C#5) F#2
