it’s been two and one quarter weeks
since the week I was first gone
Dbm
it’s not that long
E
its not that long
and when I get to you,
make everything alright
don’t want to have to fight
to hold you late at night
Dbm
but I just might
E
I just might
now the voices in my head are loud
Dbm
I’ve said too much
can’t face this crowd
B
I cannot put the words back
E
in my mouth
how I hoped that you
would understand
Dbm
when it comes from you
it’s twice as bad
B
you’re the worst I ever had
got the worst I ever had
E
out of me
Dbm A
out of me,
Dbm B
out of me,
Dbm B A E
nothing to eat
so-
F#
happy new year,
A
Washington
Dbm
I never learned
B
to hold my tongue
F#
I wish I could
A
I would play dumb
E
with you
F#
and all these nights
A
I’ve spent alone
Dbm
in front of you
B
I should have known
F#
the things we pay
A E
to get back what we own
E
5,772
it will be at least another week
until I make it back to you
Dbm
and if I do
E
if I do
we can fashion a rope
from all of my regrets
how I saw you
in every person that I met
Dbm
I’ll let you tie me to the bed
E
to the bed
‘cause I’m not as strong
as I am scared
Dbm
I’ll sit for you
in the wooden chair
B
you don’t have to hold me down
E
I’ll help you cut my hair myself
Dbm A
out of you,
Dbm B
out of you,
Dbm B A E
there’s nothing sweet
F#
happy new year,
A
Washington
Dbm
I never learned
B
to hold my tongue
F#
I wish I could
A
I would play dumb
E
i would
F#
and all these nights
A
I’ve spent alone
Dbm
in front of you
B
I should have known
F#
the things we pay
A E B
to get back what we own
F#
a Folsom man
A
with just one fear
Dbm
I don’t want to die
B
with no one knowing
I was here
F#
I still hear that in my ears
A low E B
I still hear that in my ears
F#

and then New York
Dbm

B
a little work
F# A
to get back to the place I was

with it
