GOnce we get to the end 
of thCis song,
then it Emwill begin agaiDn.
So Gyou said, in our bed
I was watching Clight slip
through Emthe blinds to find Dyour skin.
So take Gyour mediciFne,
and I won't Cask where you've been.
Live your Glost weekenFd.
I know you've Cwanted it.
AmGet big, litDtle kid.
GAnd I can't say why each day
doesn't Cquite fit the Emspace
we saved fDor it.
But if that Gspace now demands
that you Cthrow up both your Emhands,
that you call Dit quits...
Take your Gmidnight tFrip
I know you've dCreamed of it.
Walk your Gsunset Fstrip,
because I think you've Cneeded it
Amto get big, lDittle kid.
But just rememCber that oGur love
only gAmot this good
Embecause of some yAmounger days
that you Clike to outstrDip.
So driCnk your cup down
Gto the dregs and leave
that club oEmn shaking legs
with aAmnother guy,
but just Cremember: I'm Dnot him.

Chords in this song · guitar

Once we get to the end

of this song,

Em D

then it will begin again.

So you said, in our bed

I was watching light slip

Em D

through the blinds to find your skin.

G F

So take your medicine,

and I won't ask where you've been.

G F

Live your lost weekend.

I know you've wanted it.

Am D

Get big, little kid.

And I can't say why each day

C Em

doesn't quite fit the space

we saved for it.

But if that space now demands

C Em

that you throw up both your hands,

that you call it quits...

G F

Take your midnight trip

I know you've dreamed of it.

G F

Walk your sunset strip,

because I think you've needed it

Am D

to get big, little kid.

C G

But just remember that our love

only got this good

Em Am

because of some younger days

C D

that you like to outstrip.

So drink your cup down

to the dregs and leave

that club on shaking legs

with another guy,

C D

but just remember: I'm not him.

then another will begin.
