The Format – On Your Porch (Guitar)

Cadd9              G
I was on your porch, 

Cadd9              G
The smoke sank into my skin,

Cadd9              G            D
So I came inside to be with you,

Cadd9          G
We talked all night, 

Cadd9          G
About everything you could imagine,

Cadd9           G               D
'Cause come the morning, I'll be gone,

Am                         D
And as our eyes start to close, 

Am                         D
I turn to you and I let you know, 

               Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D
That I love you. 

Cadd9          G
Well, my dad was sick,

Cadd9          G
My mom she cared for him,

Cadd9          G              D
Her loving nursed him back to life,

Cadd9      G  Cadd9                           G
And me, I ran, I couldn't even look at him, 

Cadd9          G             D
For fear I'd have to say goodbye, 

Am                D
And as I start to leave, 

Am                                       D
He grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me, 

                                G       
"Whats left to lose? 

                        Em
You've done enough, 

Am                                       D
And if you fail then you fail but not to us, 

                                                G
'Cause these last three years, 

                                                Em
I know they have been hard, 

                         Am                                         D
But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun,

                        Cadd9
Even if its alone." 

Cadd9          G
So now here I sit, 

Cadd9                 G
In a hotel off of Sunset 

Cadd9          G              D
My thoughts bounce off Sam's guitar,

Cadd9                           G 
And thats the way its been, 

Cadd9                           G
Ever since we were kids, but now, 

Cadd9          G              D
Now, we've got something to prove,

Am                                              D
And I, I can see their eyes, 

                Am                                                      D
Then tell me something, can they see mine? 

                                        G
'Cause whats left to lose? 

          Em
I've done enough, 

             Am                               D
And if I fail then I fail but I gave it a shot,

                                            G
'Cause these last three years

                                          Em
I know they have been hard, 

                         Am                                         D
But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun, 

              Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D
Even if it's alone,

Cadd9                                    G
I was on your porch last night,

Cadd9              G     D     Em with a few extra notes (see below)
The smoke, it sank into my skin.
