[Verse]
D#maj7                  A#
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound

                          D#maj7                 F
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found

                      D#maj7               Gm
And I'm chasing after you steadily losing ground

F             D# (strum twice)
I don't wanna forget so I'm writing it down
A# Gm F A# A#2
D#
Have you ever No never never

A#
I find that hard to believe

D#
So let's burn the furniture

                A#
To see how angry a fire could make me

                         D#               F           Gm           A#
Now you say that there's someone that you need to reconnect with

                      D#                 F               Gm        A#
Some scarecrow from high school that you loved but never slept with

              D#                 F                 Gm   A#
A baby with a pipe dream playing hopscotch on your bandages

                        D#maj7                      A#
And I'm singing all his songs while I sleep on your couch

                  D#maj7                   F
I'm coughing up a lung but I'm covering my mouth

                       D#maj7
And I paint you on the wall

                       Gm
Yellow red green and brown

  F                D# (strum twice)
I miss you all the time but I'm blocking it out
A# Gm F A# A#2
D#
Are you better No never never

A#
What does that say about me

                    D#
Now let's break the smoke alarm

                 A#
To see how scared locked windows'll make me

                     D#               F             Gm          A#
So you say there's a stranger staring sideways in a deep freeze

                  D#          F               Gm          A#
A loner draped in ivy playing slumlord in his city dream

                D#               F                   Gm                A#
A faker with an art form pulling magic tricks on the weak girls up his sleeve

                     D#maj7                     A#
And I'm choking right along with the words in my throat

                    D#maj7                   F
I'm falling back in love with the letter you wrote

                       D#maj7                     Gm
And I think that I was wrong but I guess I don't know

F                  D# (strum twice)
I figure that I'll wait until you tell me so
[Bridge] Gm F D# Gm F Em F
                    D#maj7                  A#
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound

                          D#maj7                 F
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found

                      D#maj7               Gm
And I'm chasing after you steadily losing ground

  F                A#
I miss you all the time but I'm blocking it out

                    D#maj7       A#
The longer that I'm out here

                    D#maj7       F
The longer that I'm out here

                    D#maj7       Gm    F
The longer that I'm out here

                    D# (strum twice)
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound
