[C#]
My eyes open [A] to the emptiness [E] My face is nothing [B] but crooked [C#] lines
[B] I guess it's [A] where I'm in, you fell behind [C#] Not feeling cold [A] again, it's the bathroom
tile [E] Took a shower [B] just in time
[C#] [B] Probably might have spilled [A] too much, figure it [C#] out
[B] [A] Walked through [C#m] the snow to [B] a bar [A] where there's no one I know
[C#m] Drink slow, [B] drink slow, [A]
nowhere to go And [C#m] when I leave [B] I'll be singing [Am] this [C#m] song
Summer's gonna carry [B] [A] on, I'm a ghost [E] in the dark
I [B] was lost [A] on the airplanes [E] [B] I was high [A] on the fast trains
[C#] I [B] wasn't part [A] of the small [E] cage [B] And I was drunk [C#] on the [A] radio waves
I [E] was [B] drunk, I was drunk [C#] on the [A] radio [C#m] waves [C#] Too
[F#] [A] [E]
[B] [C] [C#] much [A] coffee, I'm not steady now
[E] Quiet apartment [B] is all green lights [C#] [B] The wind blows [A] out all city [C#] sounds
Paint was all [A] over the shower [E] rod So many [B] hours just hanging [C#] on
So [B] many chances [A]
of coming [C#] around
[B] [A]
Walked [C#] through the snow [B] to a bar [A] where there's no one I know
[C#] Drink slow, [B] drink slow, [A]
nowhere to go And [C#m] when I leave [B] I'll be singing [A]
this [F#m] song
[C#m] Summer's gonna [B] carry [A] on, I'm a ghost in the [E] dark
[B] I was lost [A] on the [E] airplanes [B] I was high [A] on the fast trains
[C#m] I [B] wasn't part of [A]
the small [E] cage [B] And I was drunk [C#] on the [A] radio [E] waves
I was drunk, [B] I was drunk [C#] on the [A] radio [C#] waves
And [A] all this time, [E] that's me right And [B] I was trapped in [C#] waiting
[A] Sometimes the truth is [E] hard to find And I [B] was scared of [C#m] changing
[B] What will [A] it say on my [B] snow [A] covered grave?
[E]
He had it [B] all, he [E] let it all [B] just slip [A] away
Walked [C#m] through the [B] snow to a [A] bar where there's no one I know
[C#m] Drink [B] slow, drink [A] slow, nowhere to go And when [C#m] I [B] leave I'll be singing [A] this song
[C#m] Summer's [B] gonna carry [A] on, I'm a ghost in the [E] dark
I was lost [A] on the [E] airplanes I [B] was high on [A] the fast [E] trains
I [B] wasn't part of [A] the small cage [E] And I [B] was drunk [C#m] on the [A] radio waves
I [E] was drunk, I was drunk on [C#m] the [A] radio waves
