Am               F               C           G
Lovers turn into monsters at the loss of all affection
       Am              F              C                    G
Almost like it was the affection that kept them from being monsters
      Am                   F
And I could have used some warning
      C                 G
I was on that porch all morning
        Am             F       C           Em
Smoking cigarettes and sinking deeper into doubt

         Am         F             C                 G
Could it be I am mistaken, have I stolen somebody’s baby?
      Am           F             C             Em
Is it possible for two people to need the same thing?
              Am                 F
It's just the lines, they get so blurry
                C          G
Between what is wanted and required
      Am            F          C         Em
And I don't know on which side his heart falls
      Am                 F
But I know where mine is buried
            C            G
And it's so far from any wanting
         Am                 F
Yeah, it needs this to keep beating
         C             Em
It won't go on without it

       Am                      F
If I'm still weighed down with subtleties
               C                  G
Then I'll just come right out and say it
       Am           F
That I think that I deserve her
          C                 G
More than anyone's deserved anything
Am         F                  C            G
Maybe I am selfish, but there is no way to share this
            Am                 F         C                  Em
There’s not enough to go around, I don’t care who else gets hurt

    Am                  F                 C                G
But I’m still sick with empathy because I was stood in his place
          Am           F           C             G
I spent a year quietly dying while he let go and ignored her and I'm
Am                  F           C               G
Sure that there are reasons for everything that happened
    Am               F          C                  Em
And absence leads to adoration, yeah it’s nobody’s fault

              Am           F
But now there is no way to change this
          C                G
So I just photographed and framed it
         Am           F
And it’s hanging in a hallway
             C                     G
That we have no right to walk back down

      Am                 F          C                   G
But I hope that he feels better but I’m sick of all the drama
        Am               F              C                 Em
I can’t stand to see her crying, I just want this shit to end
      Am              F                  C              G
And I want a place to hang out where the record players playing
              Am              F            C                    E
And there’s a thousand movies rented for a thousand nights with her
