GAnd I don't know where you went when you left me but
Says here in the water you must be Cgone by now
I can tell somehow
GOne hand on the trigger of a telephone
Wondering when the call comes
Where you say it's Calright
You got your heart right

Am7Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
CWait on the porch 'til you come back home
GOh, right
I can't find a Cflight

Split screen sadness

[Verse 2]
GAll you need is love is a lie cause
CWe had love but we still said goodbye
Now we're Gtired, battered fighCters
AGnd it stings when it's nobody's fault
Cause there's nCothing to blame at the drop of your name
It's only the Gair you took and the bCreath you left
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
CWait on the porch 'til you come back home

[Verse 1]

And I don't know where you went when you left me but

Says here in the water you must be gone by now

I can tell somehow

One hand on the trigger of a telephone

Wondering when the call comes

Where you say it's alright

You got your heart right

[Pre-Chorus]

Am7

Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and

Wait on the porch 'til you come back home

Oh, right

I can't find a flight

[Chorus]

We share the sadness

Split screen sadness

Two wrongs make it all alright tonight

[Verse 2]

All you need is love is a lie cause

We had love but we still said goodbye

G C

Now we're tired, battered fighters

And it stings when it's nobody's fault

Cause there's nothing to blame at the drop of your name

G C

It's only the air you took and the breath you left

[Pre-Chorus]

Am7

Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and

Wait on the porch 'til you come back home

Oh, right

I can't find a flight

So I'll check the weather wherever you are

C G

Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight

It might be my only right

[Chorus]

We share the sadness

Split screen sadness

[Instrumental]

Em D C

[Outro]

I called

Because

I just

Need to feel you on the line

Don't hang up this time

And I know it was me who called it over but

I still wish you'd fought me 'til your dying day

Don't let me get away

Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me

So I can say this is the way that I used to be

There's no substitute for time

Or for the sadness

Split screen sadness
