Capo 6
C Em
I breathe you in with smoke in the backyard lights,
(Backyard light)
F G
We used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights.
(Wasted nights)
C Em
It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone,
(Sleep alone)
F G
So darling, don’t, don’t wake me up, ’cause my thrill is gone.
(Say I’m wrong)
F G
In the sunset turning red behind the smoke,
G
Forever and alone.
C
Yeah!
C Em C Em
C Em
You’ve gone and sewn me to this bed, the taste of you and me
(You and me)
F G
Will never leave my lips again under the blinding rain.
(Blinding rain)
C Em
I wanna hold your hand so tight I’m gonna break my wrist,
(Break my wrist)
F G
And when the vultures sing tonight I’m gonna join right in.
C Em
I’ll sing along, oh
C Em
‘Cause I don’t know any other song.
F
I’ll sing along,
E
But I’m barely hanging on.
F
No, I’m barely hanging on.
E
By the time you’re hearing this I’ll already be gone,
F G C
And now there’s nothing to do but scream at the drunken moon.
Em
C
This isn’t fair! (No!)
Em
Don’t you try to blame this on me. (Ohhh)
F G
My love for you was bulletproof but you’re the one who shot me.
C Em
And God damn it, I can barely say your name,
F E F
So I’ll try to write and fill the pen with blood from the sink.
E F
Woah oh
E F
But don’t just say it, you should sing my name.
E F
Pretend that it’s a song ’cause forever it’s yours,
G
And we can sing this on the way home.
C Em
C Em
I’ll sing along (Oh)

‘Cause I don’t know any other song. (Oh oh)
F
I’ll sing along,
E
But I’m barely hanging on.
F
No, I’m barely hanging on.
E
By the time you’re hearing this I’ll already be gone,
F G
And now there’s nothing to do but tear my voice apart.
F
Nothing to do,
G C
And scream at the drunken moon.
