[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
CI am feeling embarrassed
I let the moonFlight get the best of me
I Cswear I was doing better
Right now I'm just Fdrunker than I meant to be
Snow sCwallows up the Puget sound beneath
FMy feet six stories down
CBeneath blueberry wine and blunts telling myFself
[Break]
C F
[Verse 2]
I'll wake up from this niCghtmare, roll over to fFind
Your soft freckled shouldCers right there next tFo mine
I can't help feeling bCitter
I can't help feeling leFft behind
I don't give a shCit
I'm not embarrassFed I'm just
FaAmlling apart on the back porch Cof the house
ThaFt I used to live in
[Break]
C F
[Chorus]
And I don'Ct know if Git's the hot knivFes or Cthe GdissociFation
Could I still Cdrive Gthis car all nighFt and
Crawl in bed Cwith yoGu in OaklanFd?
I can't rDmemember how it happened
I got to uCsed to iGsolationF  
Now I stilCl talk to Gyou at night Fto
See you smCile and feGel you listeFn
[Break]
C F
[Verse 3]
CAnd I can feel your fingers through the
FBurn holes in my sweatshirt
CI wind up smoked out in your bedroom
Every tDmime that I get hurt
CYou pull my hair and I get scared
FI steal your favorite sweatshirt
CAnd wear it when I miss you
FMonths after you're gone
[Break]
C F
[Chorus]
And I don'Ct know if Git's the hot knivFes or Cthe GdissociFation
Could I still Cdrive Gthis car all nighFt and
Crawl in bed Cwith yoGu in OaklanFd?
I can't rDmemember how it happened
I got to uCsed to iGsolationF  
Now I stilCl talk to Gyou at night Fto
See you smCile and feGel you listeFn
[Verse 4]
CAnd I can feel your fingers through the
FBurn holes in my sweatshirt
CWhile we make out in the bathroom of a house
FI've never been before
CWhen I black out we're holding hands and
FLaughing in your kitchen
CI still struggle to feel stable months after you're Fgone.

[Intro]

C F

[Verse 1]

I am feeling embarrassed

I let the moonlight get the best of me

I swear I was doing better

Right now I'm just drunker than I meant to be

Snow swallows up the Puget sound beneath

My feet six stories down

C F

Beneath blueberry wine and blunts telling myself

[Break]

C F

[Verse 2]

C F

I'll wake up from this nightmare, roll over to find

C F

Your soft freckled shoulders right there next to mine

I can't help feeling bitter

I can't help feeling left behind

I don't give a shit

I'm not embarrassed I'm just

Am C

Falling apart on the back porch of the house

That I used to live in

[Break]

C F

[Chorus]

C G F C G F

And I don't know if it's the hot knives or the dissociation

C G F

Could I still drive this car all night and

C G F

Crawl in bed with you in Oakland?

I can't remember how it happened

C G F

I got to used to isolation

C G F

Now I still talk to you at night to

C G F

See you smile and feel you listen

[Break]

C F

[Verse 3]

And I can feel your fingers through the

Burn holes in my sweatshirt

I wind up smoked out in your bedroom

Every time that I get hurt

You pull my hair and I get scared

I steal your favorite sweatshirt

And wear it when I miss you

Months after you're gone

[Break]

C F

[Chorus]

C G F C G F

And I don't know if it's the hot knives or the dissociation

C G F

Could I still drive this car all night and

C G F

Crawl in bed with you in Oakland?

I can't remember how it happened

C G F

I got to used to isolation

C G F

Now I still talk to you at night to

C G F

See you smile and feel you listen

[Verse 4]

And I can feel your fingers through the

Burn holes in my sweatshirt

While we make out in the bathroom of a house

I've never been before

When I black out we're holding hands and

Laughing in your kitchen

C F

I still struggle to feel stable months after you're gone.
