[Intro] | Em | Em | C | C | [Verse 1]
Em
 Are you feeling weak?

                        C
Nobody ever taught you how to take a punch

          C
You just took one in the guts

         Em
Are you gonna go and get yourself all balled up?

                      C
Are you staying in tonight?

                  Am
Depressed to the nines (Hey)

            Em
And you're feeling like it's over and you've got it all summed up

                   C
How will we identify

                           Am    E5   C5
With no one there by your side?
[Chorus]
D                         E5        D5
 Now with so many of them out there

C         Am        E5    C5
 So many versions of you

D                   Am
 Do they all get a piece of me

  G/B     C                E5    C5
From the memories you let go?
[Post-Chorus]
                       Em
I wish that you could hear me

                      C
I'm finished here without you now

                        C
You said that you were leaving

     C
But never said how
[Verse 2]
Em
 Well, you made it and you got your wounds all dolled up

                     C
In the pity left in piles

      C
But that was a while ago

Am
 Now it's mostly blown down the road (Hey)

Em
 Move along once we are all used up

                             C
And there's no one left to blame, but then you know

Am                                E5      C5
 Most folks don't appreciate that anyway
[Chorus]
D                         E5        D5
 Now with so many of them out there

C         Am        E5    C5
 So many versions of you

D                   Am
 Do they all get a piece of me

  G/B     C                E5    C5
From the memories you let go?

D                            E5     D5
 If you still need some motivation

C                Am         E5    C5
 Well, look I'm letting go too

D                 Am
 And I'm so much lighter now

G/B     C
I'm no longer holding you
[Bridge]
      G
You traded in your leather for a denim and a polaroid

 G
Put it up for sale in the mail for your brand new boy

Em
 I couldn't tell you just how long it's been

      Em
I can only say how fully disappointed I am (Hey)

      G
You traded in your leather for a denim and a polaroid (I dropped you a line)

 G
Put it up for sale in the mail for your brand new boy (But you burned right through as you began to climb)

Em
 I couldn't tell you just how long it's been (I left you a note)

      Em
I can only say how fully disappointed I am (Saw it fade in the sun on the street with our hope)
[Chorus]
D                         E5        D5
 Now with so many of them out there

C         Am        E5    C5
 So many versions of you

D                   Am
 Do they all get a piece of me

  G/B     C                E5    C5
From the memories you let go?

D                            E5     D5
 If you still need some motivation

C                Am         E5    C5
 Well, look I'm letting go too

D                 Am
 And I'm so much lighter now

G/B     C              Am    G/B    C
I'm no longer holding you
