[Verse 1]
G
And I don't know where you went when you left me but
                                  C
Says here in the water you must be gone by now
I can tell somehow
G
One hand on the trigger of a telephone
Wondering when the call comes
                   C
Where you say it's alright
You got your heart right
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7
Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
C
Wait on the porch 'til you come back home
G
Oh, right
               C
I can't find a flight
[Chorus]
             G
We share the sadness
Split screen sadness
G
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
C
[Verse 2]
G
All you need is love is a lie cause
C
We had love but we still said goodbye
         G                    C
Now we're tired, battered fighters
 G
And it stings when it's nobody's fault
               C
Cause there's nothing to blame at the drop of your name
              G                     C
It's only the air you took and the breath you left
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7
Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
C
Wait on the porch 'til you come back home
G
Oh, right
              C
I can't find a flight
Am
So I'll check the weather wherever you are
C                                             G
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
                C
It might be my only right
[Chorus]
             G
We share the sadness
            C
Split screen sadness
[Instrumental]
Em D C
[Outro]
G
I called
Because
I just
                 C
Need to feel you on the line
Don't hang up this time
G
And I know it was me who called it over but
                                        C
I still wish you'd fought me 'til your dying day
Don't let me get away
   G
Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me
C
So I can say this is the way that I used to be
G
There's no substitute for time
G
Or for the sadness
            C
Split screen sadness
             G
We share the sadness
