[Intro]
G   Am7
Oh, Oh-oh x4
[Verse 1] (single notes)
      G            Am7
I was higher than a biplane

         G             Am7
Then you hit me like a hurricane

   G
I bailed out, hit the ground

Am                       G   Am7
Washed up in a storm drain
(full chords)
G                  Am7
Stumbled up the driveway

       G                    Am7
With a handshake and a slow wave

        G
Now I'm crashed out on the couch

 Am
Wondering if you feel the same

G
'Cause you're in my brain taking up space I need for
[Pre-Chorus]
C*          G*          C*          G*
Remembering pins and to take out the bins

             C*          G*            C*          G*
And that one particular film that that actor was in

           C*          G*
I see your face superimposed over everything

         Am7          D
It ain't right (It ain't right, It ain't right)
[Chorus]
              Em        D
'Cause I was fine on my own

        G             C
Tolling steady like a dial tone

             Em    D
Couldn’t you leave me?

      C
I was happy unhappy

            Em     D
But now I'm overthrown

        G                         C
Wish my heart were really made of stone

             Em     D
And I could forget you

              C
Like I really want to
[Interlude]
G  Am7
Oh, Oh-oh x4
[Verse 2] (single notes)
      G                  Am7
I was living with your spare change

       G                Am7
In the pocket of your cutaways

    G
And I get so spent

Am7                          G  Am7
Waiting on your lunch break
(full chords)
G                 Am7
Broke every window pane

   G              Am7
So I can feel the cold rain

     G
When I lie in bed catching death

 Am7
Trying to wash it all away

G
'Cause you're in my brain taking up space I need for
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C*          G*          C*          G*
Delivering lies and suppressing the sighs

        C*          G*               C*          G*
And for navigating escape when I get lost in your eyes

    C*          G*                  C*          G*
It's taking up all of my time just to keep it in line

         Am7          D
It ain't right (It ain't right, It ain't right)
[Chorus]
              Em        D
'Cause I was fine on my own

        G             C
Tolling steady like a dial tone

             Em    D
Couldn’t you leave me?

      C
I was happy unhappy

            Em     D
But now I'm overthrown

        G                         C
Wish my heart were really made of stone

             Em     D
And I could forget you

              C
Like I really want to____
