[F#m] [E]
[D] [A]
[F#] [E]
[A]
We [D] fall asleep so [E] I can take pictures of [D] you and hang them in [A] my room.
So when [F#] I wake up, [G#] I feel like everything's [A] alright.
You [D] are still here, you are [E] still happy.
You [D] are still smiling [A] and laughing.
You are still [F#] the only thing, [E]
everything I [A] need in my life.
And it goes in, [C#m] in, out through the mouth.
[F#m] Breathing [G#] exercises I will never figure out.
So [A] I am running in [C#m] circles, or walking in circles, [F#] or crawling in [C#m] circles, or lying
on the [D] ground.
And
[B] I can hear [E] your dog whistle from [A] my bedroom.
[D] Yeah, yeah.
[B] And I see a flashlight [E] cutting up the trees behind [A] my house.
[D] Yeah, yeah, yeah, [G#m] yeah, [F#m] yeah.

[D] [A]
[F#] [C#m]
[A]
She says [F#m] a lot of the kids we [E] graduated with are now homeless, [D] which puts them in [A] mad shady
situations with mad [F#] shady people, if not [C#m] every day, then on an every [A] other day basis.
And she's [D#m] probably with a few of them [E] right now, and they are [D] probably just drinking and
[A] talking about how she misses [F#] getting [E] fucked up and hanging [A] around.
And he [D] says, hey, you're good at [E] that.
And she says, thanks.
[D] It's kind of all [A] I got.
And then [F#] she looks away and says, [C#m] it's also [A] all I need.
And I can smell [E] plastic burning.
I can [F#m] smell chemicals breaking [G#] down.
I [A] got your last [E] three emails, the ones where [F#] you said [C#m] I was sorting some [D] things out.
And
[B] he will be able to hear her dog [E] whistle from his [A] bedroom.
Yeah, [D] yeah.
[B] And I see a flashlight [E] cutting up the trees behind [A] my house.
[D] Yeah, yeah.
[B] And I will read the flashing [D] like a Morse code explanation.
There will [A] be nothing.
It will take all night to figure out, out, [Dm] out.
[F#m] [E]
[D] [A]
[C#] [F#] [E]
[C#m] [A]
I [F#m] am sad, I [E] am sad.
I [D] am happy, I am in my [A] own happiness.
When I'm like this, it's always like, [E]
yeah, [A] everything's all right.
I [F#m] am sad, I am [E] sad.
But when I'm [D] happy, oh, God, [A] I'm happy.
There's just [F#m] no place in [C#m]
between for [A] us to be.
I am [D] [F#m] sad, oh, [E] God, I'm sad.
But when I'm [D] happy, [A] I am happy.
There's just [F#m] no place [E] in between for us [A] to be.
I am [F#m] sad, oh, [E] God, I'm sad.
But [D] when I'm happy, I am [A] happy.
There's just no [F#m] place in [E] between for us [A] to be.
I am sad.
