[D]
[G] I'm throwing away pictures that I never should have taken [D]
in the first place
And [G] it's cold in my apartment as I'm changing all the [D] colors from the brightest red to [A] grays
Well [Bm] it's three o'clock on Monday morning, [D] I'm just hoping you're not seeing his [A] face
[Bm] I've been jetting cold and dazed all day, [D] long enough to know that it was dead
And I took my [A] place
And I [D] hope it's great to have been there
That the [G] flame we had is burning out
And I hope you [D] like your pictures facing down
As even [A] frozen eyes may have their doubts
[D] [A]
[E] And I'm burning all the letters hoping that I might forget her [A] at a bad taste
[Am] But she laughed as she was leaving [E] me, alive but barely [A] breathing as she walked out of this place
I [Bm] knew something noted with great [G] care, you changed yourself and not changed [D] me
I really didn't see us [A] singing through this
[Bm] Then you screamed and danced and I cried the verse [D] and our chorus came out on three hearts
Then you smiled the whole way through it, I [A] guess that maybe that's what you want
And I [D] hope it's great to have been there
That the [G] flame we had is burning out
And I hope you [D] like your pictures facing down
As even [A] frozen eyes may have their doubts
And I'm drinking [B] all your memories [Bm] off the shelf
Cause I don't know [G] you without any breath left
So take a [D] look at me, see what you wanna see when you get [A] home
[Bm] Take me home, I'd rather die than [G] be with you
Take me home, you had a problem [D] with each truth
Take me home, because this happens [A] every time
I knew it would, I knew [Bm] it would
Take me home, I'd rather die than [G] be with you
Take me home, you had a problem [D] with the truth
Take me home, because this happens [A] every time
And I knew it would, I knew it would
And I [D] hope it's great to have been there
That the [G] flame we had is burning out
And I hope you [D] like your pictures facing down
As even [A] frozen eyes may have their doubts
And I'm drinking [Bm] all your memories off the shelf
[D] Cause I [G] don't know you without any breath
[D] left
So take a look at me, see what you wanna see when you get
[A] home
Take me home
