EI'm counting out dollars while I limp to your brownstone.
I can Ajust barely cover what I nAmeed to get back home.
And I knF#mow we're allowed indiscretion in our lives,
but I've been maB7king mine count every night for a while.
I keep dEeleting your number and name from my cell phone,
but I cAall every day; that's as Amfar as my act goes.
What you F#mhave helps me turn down the noise that I make,
but when it sB7tops it just pokes me and keeps me awake.
My frEiends always warned about living cliches
but my fAriends aren't there when I mAmeet you these days.
I count pF#meople and street signs from the back of your car

I take C#mrisks in the stall while they talk by the bar.
I won't F#mgo back outside 'til my memory starts
Aerasing itself into something less brutal,

For as lEong as the truth tucks itself into bed,
and the bAeat of my heart and the hAmeat of my breath
keep me hF#mopeful and distant and proud of myself,
I'll keep rB7inging your bell every night around twelve.E

[Verse]

I'm counting out dollars while I limp to your brownstone.

A Am

I can just barely cover what I need to get back home.

F#m

And I know we're allowed indiscretion in our lives,

but I've been making mine count every night for a while.

I keep deleting your number and name from my cell phone,

A Am

but I call every day; that's as far as my act goes.

F#m

What you have helps me turn down the noise that I make,

but when it stops it just pokes me and keeps me awake.

My friends always warned about living cliches

A Am

but my friends aren't there when I meet you these days.

F#m

I count people and street signs from the back of your car

B7 B/C

and then skip back excited to wherever they are.

[Bridge]

C#m

I take risks in the stall while they talk by the bar.

F#m

I won't go back outside 'til my memory starts

erasing itself into something less brutal,

B B/C

some beautiful bullshit I pretend to belong to.

[Verse]

For as long as the truth tucks itself into bed,

A Am

and the beat of my heart and the heat of my breath

F#m

keep me hopeful and distant and proud of myself,

B7 E

I'll keep ringing your bell every night around twelve.
