C/G        F     Am
    Smeared black ink

C/G      F               Am
    Your palms are sweaty and I'm barely listening

C/G        F  Am
    To last de-mands

C/G                    F                Am
    I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath
[Interlude]

    I'll wear my badge

C/G                      F                Am
    A vinyl sticker with big block letters, adherent to my chest

C/G           F        Am
    That tells your new friends

C/G        F           Am
    I am a visitor here, I am not permanent

C/G           F  Am
    And the on-ly thing

C/G    F    Am
    Kee-ping me dry is
[Chorus 1]
F             C/G           G
  You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex

F            C/G               G
  A stranger with your door key explaining that I'm just visiting

F          C/G           G
  And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving

F  C/G  G
          Why I was the one worth leaving

  It seems so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex

F  C/G  G
          Why I was the one worth leaving

F              C/G            G
  The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights

F              C/G           G
  And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening

F          C/G           G
  And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving

F  C/G  G
          Why I was the one worth leaving

F  C/G  G
          Why I was the one worth leaving
F C/G G
