Tom: G

G/B        C               Em 
Well I see breakfast on the table
D/F# G         Am               Em 
     And I can smell you in the halls
G/B            C            Em 
Lord knows I’d cry if I was able
D/F# G              Am             Em
     But that won’t get me through tomorrow
G/B         C              Em 
And no it’s not like I was counting
D/F# G               Am              Em 
     Or thought that we’d run out of days
G/B        C            Em 
So I’ll be holding onto something
D
Breathing the air you took away


[Chorus]

   C             G                    D                          
I, I’ll keep a picture of you one the wall, of you on the wall
D                    
And choke on the memories
C               G                 D
I’ll keep a message of you if you call, of you if you call
    D             
And choke on the memories
C  G  D       D       
       Choke, choke, yeah
C  G  D      D
       Choke, choke


[Verse 2]

G/B            C                Em  
Well I’ve been looking for some new worlds
D/F# G          Am            Em
     To say just how you got to me
G/B          C              Em 
I wrote some letters that I might burn
D/F# G                Am        Em
     Cause then you’re not just history
       G/B        C              Em 
Oh and I see your clothes in the closet
D/F# G           Am                   Em 
     I hear your phone ringing in the drawer
G/B     C             Em 
I’m not hoping for an answer
D
I’m just knocking at your door, oh


[Chorus]

C             G                   D
I keep your picture of you on the wall, of you on the wall
    D
And choke on the memories
C             G                   D
I’ll keep a message of you if you call, of you if you call
C G D      D
     Choke, choke, yeah
C G D      D
     Choke, choke, yeah
Am            Em                   D
I’ll keep a picture of you on the wall, of you on the wall
    D
And choke on the memories
Am              Em                  D
I’ll keep the message of you if you call, of you if you call
C G D      D
     Choke, choke, yeah
C G D      D
     Choke, choke, yeah


[Outro]

G/B        C                Em 
Well I see breakfast on the table
D/F# G         Am               Em 
     And I can smell you in the halls
