One two one two [A] three
[F#m]
[A] Last night turned on the TV
Looked out the window and then pulled down [F#m] the shade and it came to the conclusion
My man could not [A] be made
[D] [A]
She said what were you thinking?
I just a wondering is it something [F#m] that I did I said it's nothing
Just something I picked up [A] as a kid
[D] [A]
[D] [A] Here [E] a lot of [A] empty spaces [D] I
[A] see [E]
a
big hole in you [D] [A] I
feel [E] an [A] outline of traces [D] [A] and
[E] Imaginary path back to you
This ain't no ordinary [A]
blue
[F#m]
[A] Last night first split sec.
I was a train wreck.
I was a complicated [F#m] guy
I hope we don't plan.
It's the last time we ever say [A] goodbye
[D] The [A] orange moon is arising on the horizon of the outskirts of [F#m] my man
I said and listen as he glistened.
He said leave the past [A]
behind [D] [A] [D]

[A] Hear [E] a lot of [A] empty spaces [D]
[A] I see [E] a
big hole in you I
[D]
[A] feel [E] an [A] outline of traces [D]
[A] and
[E] Imaginary back to you.
This ain't no [D] ordinary
