Capo 4
Cadd9 G
I was on your porch,
Cadd9 G
The smoke sank into my skin,
Cadd9 G D
So I came inside to be with you,
Cadd9 G
We talked all night,
Cadd9 G
About everything you could imagine,
Cadd9 G D
'Cause come the morning, I'll be gone,
Am D
And as our eyes start to close,
Am D
I turn to you and I let you know,
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D
That I love you.
Cadd9 G
Well, my dad was sick,
Cadd9 G
My mom she cared for him,
Cadd9 G D
Her loving nursed him back to life,
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And me, I ran, I couldn't even look at him,
Cadd9 G D
For fear I'd have to say goodbye,
Am D
And as I start to leave,
Am D
He grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me,
G
"Whats left to lose?
Em
You've done enough,
Am D
And if you fail then you fail but not to us,
G
'Cause these last three years,
Em
I know they have been hard,
Am D
But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun,
Cadd9
Even if its alone."
Cadd9 G
So now here I sit,
Cadd9 G
In a hotel off of Sunset
Cadd9 G D
My thoughts bounce off Sam's guitar,
Cadd9 G
And thats the way its been,
Cadd9 G
Ever since we were kids, but now,
Cadd9 G D
Now, we've got something to prove,
Am D
And I, I can see their eyes,
Am D
Then tell me something, can they see mine?
G
'Cause whats left to lose?
Em
I've done enough,
Am D
And if I fail then I fail but I gave it a shot,
G
'Cause these last three years
Em
I know they have been hard,
Am D
But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun,
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D
Even if it's alone,
(Even if it's alone)
Even if it's alone.
Cadd9 G
I was on your porch last night,
Cadd9 G D Em

The smoke, it sank into my skin.

Note: The tab on here is pretty much correct, If you want to play the song exactly
the way The Format plays it, I recommend using that. I, personally, like to change
the song from the original. I play with my own strum pattern and with Capo 1 as it
fits my range. Feel free to do with it what you like.
