As recorded by Taking Back Sunday (From the 2004 Album WHERE YOU WANT TO BE) [Intro] D5 [Verse 1]
D5
I'm under the assumption that

D5                                  C5
I'm gonna be the one that's leaving you

C5
Tonight

C5
Oh, tonight

D5
Well, I flipped every switch

D5
That I could find on my way out

                  C5
Just to upset you more (just to keep you busy)

                        A5                    D5
Just to make you angry (just because you were right)

D5
Just because you were
[Chorus]
D5
All tired

D5
Scream, safe haven

D5
Let's get this out and on the table
[Verse 2]
D5
Fast forward to, say, four o' clock

D5
I'm keeping time

D5
I'm holdin'

D5                    C5
We're always holdin' (always holdin)

                             D5
We're always holdin, holding out

D5
And that's what got us here in the first place

                                  C5
You should have never come here alone

                                                     A5
(You should have never bothered at all), bothered at all
[Chorus]
D5
Scream older and wiser

D5
Still filled with resentment

A5            C5
We get it, we get it

   G5
(I haven't been happier since)

D5
Older and wiser

      A5
Still filled with resentment

   C5
We get it, we get it

 G5                                                           D5
(I haven't been happier, no, I haven't been happy, no, not since)
[Verse 3]
D5
Five o' clock the floor caught fire with footsteps (my footsteps)

                                 C5
And spread like a disease to the door

C5
I'm stuttering through it but I hear it

C5
Well, I-I I hear it's good t-t-to stick to what you know

D5
And you know the whole lot of this

D5
It all could have been avoided

C5
When you were court side for this nightmare

C5
Well since then I got myself

         A5
Come and listen
[Chorus]
D5
Older and wiser

      A5
Still filled with resentment

   C5
We get it, we get it

 G5
(I haven't been happier since)

D5
Older and wiser

      A5
Still filled with resentment

   C5
We get it, we get it

 G5                          D5                                A5  C5  G5
(I haven't been happier, no, I haven't been happier, not since)
[Outro]
D5                           A5
Well, we used to get so much more

 A5
(I used to, I used to too)

C5                      G5
It used to take so much more

 G5
(I used to, I used to, I used to too)
