[Intro] G Em C D G Em C D [Verse 1]
G                        Em
I wrote you a letter but I never sent it

    G                   Em
Got lost in the pile of things I did't want to throw

C
Away when I moved

               D
Along with the pictures of you

        G
It went down with the flames when I

Em                        G
Burnt my old memories and all that I saved

         Em                                C
Were the ones where I looked better than you

                         D
But I looked better with you
[Chorus]
        G         Em
Now I'm falling apart

                           C
And empty mattresses can't save me from

                      D
The exhaustion that I got from you

    G                  Em
And all I wanted was a two way street

            C                              D
But now I'm wandering the wrong way down a one way
D(strum once) D Cause directions not my strong suit [Verse 2]
       G
Did'nt hear what you said

         Em
When you told me you'd leave me I

G                          Em
Heard love instead now I'm stuck with and

           C                       D
Impossible veiw of what I meant to you

      G
And I know I'm to blame cause I

Em
Asked way too much of you

     G                      Em
I've seen darker days and I hope that I can

              C                             D
See this once through without depending on you
[Chorus]
        G         Em
Now I'm falling apart

                           C
And empty mattresses can't save me from

                      D
The exhaustion that I got from you

    G                  Em
And all I wanted was a two way street

            C                              D
But now I'm wandering the wrong way down a one way

         D                        G
Cause directions not my strong suit
[Bridge]
      G
I'm a little bit closer to lsoing my mind

      Em
Every time the morning haunts me
And I open my eyes and
C                 D
You're not there (ohh)

      G
Kinda funny just how empty I can feel inside

      Em
Put a check mark on the dates of every
Day I'm alive and
C               D
I'ts not fair (ohh)
[Chorus]
          G        Em
Cause I'm falling apart
And you're not listening I'll
C                              D
Quiet down my tears so I don't bother you

    G
And all I wanted

      Em
Was a two way street but now I'm

C                                D
Driving down the highway to your place

                                   G
Cause directions not my strong suit
