Introduction: E B4 C#m A E B4 Dbm A9
E B4
I heard you play guitar
C#m A E B4
You got pedals around your feet like rocks around a fire
C#m A E B4
I don't know if we'll meet, I don't know who you are
C#m A E B4 Dbm A9
You're just a traveled ghost that I admire from afar
E B4
Under the houselights
C#m A E B4
Me and you and the last bit of our pints
C#m A E B4
Well, I could carry a case or two up a couple of flights
C#m A E B4 Dbm A9
The room with the Sir John A. view opens up to the night
Dbm D6(9) A9
Here I'm caught alive in this trap
Dbm D6(9) A9
I'm still breathing, it's just a leg hold
Dbm D6(9) A9
Are you an escape out of this?
Dbm D6(9) A9
Take me back to the place that I miss
Dbm D6(9) A9
'Cause this is a waste of money, that's all this is
Guitar 2 plays a few fills over the Aadd9s in the chorus
E B4 C#m A
It's a low-lying ache, like homesickness
E B4 C#m A
When you're desperate for something that you know exists
E B4 C#m A
And I saw it in your grin
E B4 C#m A
And I wish it had never been
E B4 C#m A E B4 Dbm A9
'Cause I don't want to hear about something that could be but never is
Dbm D6(9) A9
Here I'm caught alive in this trap
Dbm D6(9) A9
I'm still breathing, it's just a leg hold
Dbm D6(9) A9
Are you an escape out of this?
Dbm D6(9) A9
Take me back to the place that I miss
Dbm D6(9) A9
'Cause this is a waste of money, that's all this is
Guitar 2 plays a few fills over the Aadd9s in the chorus
D6(9) A9 Dbm
What does it mean not to say?
D6(9) A9 Dbm
Could you be like it was just yesterday?
D6(9) A9
And I, well, I don't want it now 'cause it's in the way

I'm in the room with the Sir John A. view

Just down the street from the bar
Dbm D6(9) A9
