[Intro] (Riff #1) A D A D [Verse 1] (Riff #2 + variations)
A
Midnight, you could see me dangling

D                                      A
Glow like a cherry falling, now it's a downpour

                                        D
You could see me racing the rain to the ground floor

                                 A
You're the only thing I'll wait around for

                                          D
Maybe when you get off of work, could you meet me?

                                  A
We could go barreling down on the main street

                                               D
You could try watching while I run through the high-beams
(Riff #3) A D A D [Bridge]
            F#m           A               D
'Cause if I didn't have a mean bone in my body

     F#m                A            D
I'd find some other way to cause you pain

   F#m         A               D
I won't bother telling you I'm sorry

F#m                    A         D
For something that I'm gonna do again
[Verse 2]
                       A
When I could spend the weekend out on a bender

         D
Do I get callous or do I stay tender?

                  A
Which of these is worse and which is better?

           D
Dying to myself, virtually a massacre

  F#m          A          D
A character of somebody's invention

  F#m          A            D
A martyr in another passion play

  F#m                A            D
I guess I don't mind losing my conviction

        F#m          A              D
If it's all relative fiction anyway
[Verse 3]
                      A                             D
'Cause I don't need a savior, I need you to take me home

                  A                              D
I don't need your help, I need you to leave me alone

                  A
I'm out where the drunks at the bar talk over the band

  D
I try to express, I can't understand

  A
I beat at the keys, I bloody my hands

        D
'Til you hear me

     F#m             A
I've got no business praying

    D
I'm finished being good

          F#m        A            D
Now I can finally be okay and not the way I thought I should
