  Dm    C    G    Bbx4
Pardon me for Dmsaying so, but you look more pitiful
Than I had Gever imagined, despite perfect fashion
And your Dmphotographs depict you so differently
I always Gthought you would be some sort of match for me
DmSo let's deCcide wGho can Bbsurvive
DmStomping feet and Cracing beats of Ghearts that don't Bbever slow
DmThen I'll wCrite lGetters Bbon white Dmpaper expCressing
My Gdeep disappBbointment
DmDripping where I stand from my Gwatery hands
Hoping to get past the Dmopen bedroom door
Where her Gclothes on the floor remind me of our converGmsation
The feeling of Cslight hesiGmtation to Cadd9turn out the Clight
DmFourteen days now since we started to cGomplicate the situation
DmI'm not hiding, I'm just buying some Gtime for us to find the back door
  DmWe will Ccome out Bbwhen it's Gmsafe for us
  BbWhen it's Gmsafe for us
  BbWhen it's Gmsafe for DmusG7  Dm  G7  
There's Dmnothing left to say, to excuse the Bbsus2way that I've beBbhaved

[Intro]

Dm C G Bb

Pardon me for saying so, but you look more pitiful

Than I had ever imagined, despite perfect fashion

And your photographs depict you so differently

I always thought you would be some sort of match for me

Dm C G Bb

So let's decide who can survive

Dm C G Bb

Stomping feet and racing beats of hearts that don't ever slow

Dm C G Bb Dm C

Then I'll write letters on white paper expressing

G Bb

My deep disappointment

Dm G

Dripping where I stand from my watery hands

Hoping to get past the open bedroom door

G Gm

Where her clothes on the floor remind me of our conversation

C Gm Cadd9 C

The feeling of slight hesitation to turn out the light

Dm G

Fourteen days now since we started to complicate the situation

I'm not hiding, I'm just buying some time for us to find the back door

We will come out when it's safe for us

Bb Gm

When it's safe for us

Bb Gm Dm G7 Dm G7

When it's safe for us

Dm Bbsus2 Bb

There's nothing left to say, to excuse the way that I've behaved

I still feel him gripping like a stain

To this fabric, torn at every seam

F A7

Then thrown away

[Interlude]

Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 D7sus2 Dm

Why should I take all the blame for my mistakes?
