I came by to get my things 
Dm7            C9
Thank you for getting the door  
      Cm7       Dm7            Cm7    Dm7
But I don't feel right walking in no more 
G              Bm7            Dm7       C9

But I'm numb now, I'm numb now  
Gm         F     C
Before I'm on my way 
     Gm       F        C
I've one more thing to ask 
       Em        D         G                 Bm     C
Was it worth the price you paid for my never coming back

Tell the tiny chemicals

The ones you hold responsible

They lost me,          you lost me  
    Em                   Bm                       C
Now everything inside me tells me I should run to you 
                   D
And throw my arms around you 
Em                        Bm
Hold your steaming crying cheek against my own  
    C                 D
And tell you nothing's wrong 
     Dm7              C               F
But wrong is what you were when you forgot 
                   A#
That we were going on

We were going on
