            F#m                  E                   D                  A
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

            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]
    B
And I

                    E                     A
Can hear your dog whistle from my bedroom.

  D
Yeah, yeah

    B
And I

                       E
Can see a flashlight cuttin'

                        A
Up the trees behind my house.

      D
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
[Interlude] F#m E D A F#m E A A F#m E D A F#m E A A [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"

           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"
[Chorus]
    B                               E                 A
And he will be able to hear her dog whistle from his bedroom

  D
Yeah yeah.

   B
And I

                      E
Can see a flashlight cuttin'

                        A
Up the trees behind my house.

  D
Yeah yeah.

    B
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
I am sad, I am sad. And I am happy, oh God, I'm happy

               F#m           E              A
There's just no place in between for us to meet

         F#m        E                  D                  A
But I am sad, I am sad, but when I am happy, oh God, I'm happy

                F#m           E             A
There's just no place in between for us to meet

          F#m               E                  D           A
When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad, but when I'm happy, I am happy

                   F#m           E              A 
And there's just no place in between for us to meet

          F#m               E                 D            A
When I am sad, oh God, I'm sad, but when I'm happy, I am happy

                     F#m          E             A
And there's just no place in between for us to meet

       A 
I am sad
