G D Cadd9 D Our hero sits unsteadily on a highway rocking chair
G D Cadd9 D Bottle of white wine, the wind it ruffles his well-cut hair
G D Cadd9 D And her eyes they focus backwards to the people that he needs
G D Cadd9 D They hold my instruments and my backup, and shirts with cut off sleeves
G D Cadd9 D She told me that she kissed you and then she told me more
G D Cadd9 D Our hero knows I'm angry and he knows that I'm a bore
G D Cadd9 D I'm sad when it is raining, when the sun comes I'm a freak
G D Cadd9 D* Our hero lives in mild temperatures and gets eight hours sleep
CHORUS G And I know that Im a liar
D And I know I cant fill your desires
Em7 Cadd9 (walk down C, B, A, Gmaj) With a body that's always gonna let the both of us down
G And half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
D And half lies that I never should have told you
Em7 Cadd9 My demise is only gonna let one of us down
D G D Cadd9 D And darling I'm going
VERSE 2
G D Cadd9 D My back it aches for transport, I can hardly feel my feet My stitches are slowly but surely falling out of me I know I'm not exciting but I never claimed to be And I'll live for this morning, and I will live and let you leave
G D Em7 And I don't understand why we have to be on standby while you're overseas
Cadd9 D Can't you be free and still know me?
G D And our hero keeps his secrets locked up somewhere in his teeth
Em7 D* Maybe I'll break one or two just to hear him speak
CHORUS 2
BRIDGE
Em7 G Cadd9 To find somewhere for us to sleep
Em7 G Cadd9 And darling I'm going to work on every single inch of me
Em7 G Cadd9 And darling I'm going to find somewhere for us to sleep
Em7 G And darling I'm going to keep on living, to keep on living
