A F#m


[Verse]

F#m                                    E
Carry me home, got my blue nail polish on.
                  D            F#m              E
It's my favorite color and my favorite tone of song,
F#m                                            E
I don't really wanna break up, we got it going on,
               D                F#m                 E
it's what you gathered from my talk, but you were wrong.


[Pre-Chorus]

         D                             E                      F#m
It's not easy for me to talk about, I have heavy heart strings,
         D                               E
I'm not simple, it's trigonometry. It's hard to express,

I can't explain.


[Chorus]

F#m                        E
 Ever since my baby went away
                        D  F#m                      E
it's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day.
F#m                        E
 All I hear is Billie Holiday, 
                  D  F#m                E
it's all that I play, it's all that I play.
                   F#m                E
Because I'm going deeper and deeper, harder and harder,
         D               F#m            E   
getting darker and darker, looking for love
   A               D    F#m     E   
in all the wrong places, oh my god.
   A               D    F#m     E
in all the wrong places, oh my god.


[Verse 2]

F#m                                   E
Carry me home, got my new car and my gun.
             D                 F#m               E
Wind in my hair, holding your hand, listen to a song.
F#m                                                  E
Carry me home, don't wanna talk about the things to come,
               D              F#m            E
just put your hands up in the air, the radio on.


[Pre-Chorus]

                D                                     E                     A
'Cause there's nothing for us to talk about like the future and those things,
                D                             E
'Cause there's nothing for me to think about now that he's gone 

I can't feel nothing.


[Chorus]

F#m                        E
 Ever since my baby went away
                        D  F#m                      E
it's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day.
F#m                        E
 All I hear is Billie Holiday, 
                  D  F#m                E
it's all that I play, it's all that I play.
                   F#m                E 
Because I'm going deeper and deeper, harder and harder,
         D               F#m            E  
getting darker and darker, looking for love
   A               D    F#m     E  
in all the wrong places, oh my god.
   A               D    F#m     E
in all the wrong places, oh my god.


[Bridge]

       D                        F#m
You should've known better than to have to let her,
        E
get you under her spell of the weather.
                   D                       F#m
I got you where I want you, you did it, I never.
                   E
I'm falling for forever, I'm playing the game since.
                   D                     F#m
I got you where I want you, I got you, I got you.
                   E
I got you where I want you now.


[Chorus]

F#m                        E
 Ever since my baby went away
                        D  F#m                      E
it's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day.
F#m                        E
 All I hear is Billie Holiday, 
                  D  F#m                E
it's all that I play, it's all that I play.


[Outro]

                        D                  F#m
It's not one of those phases I'm going through,
           E
or just a song. 
                        A     D
It's no one else's, I'm on my own.
       F#m       E
On my own, on my own again.
          A     D        F#m         E
I'm on my own again, I'm on my own again,
          A     D        F#m         E
I'm on my own again, I'm on my own again.
