[Intro] F [Verse 1]
     F                                           C/E      F
I am lipsticked like a tart in the cherry red of Côtes-du-Rhône

Bb              F           C     Bb
Prodding at the little fire of my phone

    F                                          C/E    F
The lights behind the bar twinkle like they've always known

     Bb               F        C      Bb
Only desperate little men ever drink alone
[Chorus]
                   Dm
But as long as I'm here

         Bb                  F  C/E
I'm disappeared and it's vanishing

      F       C/E    F     C  Bb   F
I'm a missing person doing my thing
[Verse 2]
   F                                 C/E      F
As midnight strikes I slip into this queen of dives

    Bb       F             C     Bb
And quietly oblivion like sleep arrives

      F                                     C/E      F
And I couldn't live without this sewer of a place to be

 Bb           F               C       Bb
Alone with my onе obsession - me, me, mе

      Bb             F
Yeah, I can hear you remonstrate

    C            Bb
You fool, that's three
[Chorus]
               Dm
What I'm doing here

               Bb             F  C/E
Ain't drinking beer, it's vanishing

      F       C/E    F     C  Bb
I'm a missing person doing my thing

       F       C/E    F     C  Bb
Just a missing person doing my thing
[Bridge]
            Am                        Bb
Missing the time I threw your crutch away

    Am               Bb
And ruined a perfect day

             Bb                 C
Now it's all ruins from here to daybreak
[Instrumental] | Dm | Dm | Bb | Bb | F | C/E | | F C/E | Bb | Bb | C | C | [Verse 3]
     F                                        C/E      F
So I hang on to my chair in this fish tank of sinking stars

Bb             F           C     Bb
Pickling their memories in Mason jars

      F                                              C/E     F
And I head out for a smoke leave your ghost there to hold my place

    Bb               F              C     Bb
And line up with the other cheaters in disgrace

     Bb         F              C     Bb
Like runners in exile from the human race
[Chorus]
                   Dm
But as long as I'm here

                 Bb          F  C/E
This last brutal year is vanishing

      F       C/E    F     C  Bb
I'm a missing person doing my thing

       F       C/E    F     C  Bb
Just a missing person doing my thing
[Outro]
      F   C/E  F   C   Bb  C  F
Hmmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm
