Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room

              F#m                    E                     A
So when I'll wake up I'll be like "Yeah, everything's all right"

              F#m                   E
You are still here, you are still happy.

               D                A
You are still smiling and laughing.

                  F#m             E                       A
You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life
[Pre-Chorus 1]
            A        E
And it goes in, in, out through the mouth

 F#m                         E
Breathing exercises I will never figure out

         A
So I am running in circles or

 E
Walking in circles or

 F#m
Crawling in circles or

 E               D
Lying on the ground.
[Chorus 1]
    Bm
And I

                    E                     A
Can hear your dog whistle from my bedroom.

  D
Yeah, yeah

    Bm
And I

                       E
Can see a flashlight cuttin'

                        A
Up the trees behind my house.

      D
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

[Verse 2]
                       F#m               E
She says a lot of the kids we graduated with are now homeless

            D                                 A
Which puts them in mad shady situations with mad shady people

  F#m             E                          A
If not everyday, then on an every other day basis

                          F#m               E
And she's probably with a few of them right now

                             D                   A
And they are probably just drinking and talking about

                         F#m          E            A
How she misses gettin' fucked up and hangin' around

             F#m                                      E            D
And he says "Hey, you're good at that" and she says "Thanks. It's kind of

       A                         F#m                  E          A
All I got, " and then she looks away and says, "It's also all I need"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
           A             E
And I can smell plastic burning,

              F#m               E
I can smell chemicals breaking down

            A           E
I got your last three emails,

                   F#m
The ones where you said,

        E                   D
"I was sorting some things out"

    Bm                               E                 A
And he will be able to hear her dog whistle from his bedroom

  D
Yeah yeah.
[Chorus 2]
    Bm
And I

                      E
Can see a flashlight cuttin'

                        A
Up the trees behind my house.

  D
Yeah yeah.

    Bm
And I will read the flashing

        D
Like a Morse code explanation

                    A
Though it'll mean nothing
But take all night to figure out, out, out [Interlude] F#m E D A F#m E A A [Outro]
          F#m       E                  D                  A
When I am sad, I am sad. But when I am happy, oh God, I'm happy
(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room)
               F#m           E              A
There's just no place in between for us to meet
(So when I'll wake up I'll be like yeah everything's all right.)
          F#m       E                  D                  A
When I am sad, I am sad. But when I am happy, oh God, I'm happy

(You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life.)
          F#m               E                  D           A
When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad, but when I'm happy, I am happy
(Please fall asleep so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room)
                   F#m           E              A 
And there's just no place in between for us to meet
(So when I'll wake up I'll be like, "Yeah, everything's all right")
          F#m               E                 D            A
When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad, but when I'm happy, I am happy
(You are still here, you are still happy. You are still smiling and laughing.)
                     F#m          E             A
And there's just no place in between for us to meet
I am sad
