E/A Dsus2
So you wrote it down I’m supposed to care
E Esus
Even though it’s never there
Dsus2*
Sorry if I’m not prepared
E/A Dsus2
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
E Esus
For me and all my thoughts of you
Dsus2*
It’s eating me alive to leave you

E/A Dsus2
I’m breathing in your skin tonight
E Esus
Quiet is my loudest cry

Wouldn’t want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside
E/A Dsus2
And if it’s healthier to leave you be
E Esus
May your sickness come and set me free
Dsus2*
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me

A5 C#5 D5
I’m writing my own words, my own little stage
E5 A5
My own epic drama, my own scripted page
C#5 D5
I’ll send you the rough draft, I’ll seal it with tears
E5 N.C.
Maybe you’ll read it and I’ll reappear
A5 C#5 D5
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash
E5 A5
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
C#5 D5
Oh, I haven’t even sought to overcome this desire
E5 D Dm
Of friendly intentions and fare-weathered smiles
A E F#m D
And I don’t want to be, don’t want to be wro- -ong
A E Dsus2
You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me in lieu of this song
A E F#m D
Don’t want to be, don’t want to be wro- -ong

You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this song

Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one

Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one

Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one
A E Dm(V) Ddim7 A
Like Saturday night I’ll be gone before you knew that I was there
