[Verse]
A
Last night turned on the TV
A
Looked out the window
F#m
And then pulled down the shades
F#m
And I came to the conclusion
A Asus4
My mind could not be made
A
She said, "Well what're you thinking
A
I'm just a-wondering
F#m
Is it something that I did?"
F#m
I said, "It's nothing, just something
A Asus4 A
I picked up as a kid."
[Chorus]
D A E A
I hear a lot of empty spaces
D A E
I see a big hole in you
D A E A
I feel an outline that traces
D A E
An imaginary path back to you
E7
This ain't no ordinary
A Asus4 A Asus4 A

[Verse]
A
Last night for a split sec
A
I was a train-wreck
F#m
I was a complicated guy
F#m
I hope we don't find this is the last time
A Asus4 A
We ever say goodbye
A
The orange moon is rising on the horizon
A F#m
Of the outskirts of my mind
F#m
I sat and listened as it glistens
A Asus4 A
It says, "Leave the past behind"
[Chorus]
D A E A
I hear a lot of empty spaces
D A E
I see a big hole in you
D A E A
I feel an outline that traces
D A E
An imaginary path back to you
E7
This ain't no ordinary
[Bridge]
D A Bm
Blue too cold to hold
D A
Too deep to swim through
Bm
Too cold to hold, too deep to
D A Bm E
swim through
[Outro]
A
Last night turned on the TV
A
Looked out the window
A
And then pulled down the shades
