Introduction: G G G C9
G
In dark corners and bars and ballrooms
G
Boys get childish and grow up too soon
C9
I sit and stare at the Calgary girls
C9
Pretty hair and their mummysâ'' pearls on
G
Till the fear wells up and hits me
G
Send letters to a comfortable history
C9
I used to have it all
C9 D
Now my head falls hard and alone
C9
Onto a motel pillow
G
And I know thereâ''s a script that I could rehearse
Em
And there are lines and I could make them work
C9
But I donâ''t want them, I want you
G
And itâ''s not like thereâ''s a space that I need to fill
Em
Or like I have any time we could kill
C9
But I donâ''t need this, I need you
D C9
And this is the exact thing that I always do
G
We used to lie right here and speak
G
We were fucking great between these sheets
C9
That you bought to replace the old ones she left when she needed her own space
G
And I took the hand-me-downs
G
And I flipped the covers inside out
C9
And Iâ''ll pretend that Iâ''m different now
G
And the first time we made love
G
It was dark and we were drunk
C9
In someone elseâ''s, someone elseâ''s hostel bathroom
G
And you turned your back to me
G
And I said â''If this is the first of many then turn
C9 D
back around, so I can fucking kiss you.â'
G
And I know thereâ''s a script that I could rehearse
Em
And there are lines and I could make them work
C9
But I donâ''t want them, I want you
G
And itâ''s not like thereâ''s a space that I need to fill
Em
Or like I have any time we could kill
C9
But I donâ''t need this, I need you
D C9
And this is the exact thing that I always do
Em D *
G C9
Holding up some dive barâ''s end
Em D *
G C9
between my legs
Em D *
G C9
tell me about your family
Em D *
G C9
When you said Iâ''d end up lonely
Em D *
G C9
didnâ''t crack up to what our life wouldâ''ve been
Em D *
G
And fall straight back in my seat
Em G C9
And youâ''ll check your watch and say â''Itâ''s probably time for you to leave.â'
Em G C9
And Iâ''ll stand up to say something brave and grand, fall straight back in my seat
Em G C9
You will check your watch and say â''Itâ''s probably time for you to leave.â'
D
And you will offer me a ride
C9 D
Only cos itâ''s so fucking cold outside
C9cut
You were always far too kind
G
And I know thereâ''s a script that I could rehearse
Em
And there are lines and I could make them work
C9 D
But I donâ''t want them, I want you
G
And itâ''s not like thereâ''s a space that I need to fill
Em
Or like I have any time we could kill
C9
But I donâ''t need this, I fucking need you
D C9 G
And this is the exact thing that I always do
