          D/C#              D
Well, the sun was made for people

          A
Who were never gonna touch it

           D/C#            D    A
Keep their heads up anyway

        D/C#                   D
And my notebook’s filled with stories

         A
Some of them have kept their meanings

        D/C#               D    A
Most of them, I’ve thrown away

        D/C#                  D
And my phone calls with the stranger

        A
And we have nothing in common

       D/C#            D    A
And I have nothing to say

   D/C#              D
Fingertips find the pulse now

      A
As a heart begins to slow down

      D/C#                D    A
And a best friend slips away
[Chorus]
               B5
It used to go question and then answer

             D
But we were younger and it was easy

                 A
And now it goes question and then question

           E
Question, answers don’t come so easy

            B5
But I am a grown-up, so I should find something

    D
To occupy my time

            A
Instead of notebooks filled with nonsense

             E                              D/C# D     A
Looking for answers I’ll never find, I’ll never find

       D/C#   D   A
Never find
[Verse]
              D/C#               D
Sometimes you talk when you are sleeping

       A
About things that have no meaning

       D/C#         D   A
But I listen anyway

             D/C#           D
I have been thinking about leaving

             A
But my best options say to stay

             D/C#              D
I think I’ll lay down in the street

             A
And let the cars drag me away

                 D/C#                D
“You know what I mean?” I think you ask me

                   A
When you’re done telling me your story

          D/C#                    D
But I am drunk and I have been ignoring

       A
Every single word you say

            D/C#           D
And now you show me new tattoos

       A
As my fingers touch your skin

             D/C#              D
You say they all have so much meaning

               A
While colored ink is sinking in
[Chorus]
               B5
It used to go question and then answer

             D
But we were younger and it was easy

                 A
And now it goes question and then question

           E
Question, answers don’t come so easy

            B5
But I am a grown-up, so I should find something

    D
To occupy my time

            A
Instead of notebooks filled with nonsense

             E                              D/C# D     A
Looking for answers I’ll never find, I’ll never find

            D/C#   D   A
I'll never find
