     C             G
Don't leave me here at this party

Am       G
  Like a coat on a hook

C                Dm
 Two days, we're still not talking

Am                   G
  You're the opposite of an open book

C     G           Am
 Come back for me

           G                   C             Dm
Everyone's nervous and looking at their feet

          Am
I ask the same questions

   G
To everyone I see
[Chorus]
Dm          Am                      F     G
  What am I missing? Where have you been?

Dm             Am             F                 G
  What if they ask me about it? Where would I begin?

Dm                F                   C       G
  Friendships are melting, nothing is helping

Dm                F                 C       G
  Nothing's worth keeping, promises cheapen
[Verse 2]
C           G
 From the beginning, I've had you

Am         G
In my mind

C               Dm              Am
 Been dеad slow swimming to you

       G
In the dead low tide

Dm                Am
  This isn't your problеm, believe me

F           G
 I know how I sound

Dm                  Am
  Don't feel like myself anymore

    F            G
When you're not around
[Chorus]
Dm                F                   C       G
  Friendships are melting, nothing is helping

Dm                F                 C       G
  Nothing's worth keeping, promises cheapen

Dm                  F                    C
  Two years since I saw you last curling your

               G                     Dm     F
Hair with your pistol, telling me not to be

       C        G
So melodramatic

Dm                   F                           C
  I'll be waving red flashlights on a roof on an island

           G
You always come back from things like this
[Verse 3]
     C             G
Don't leave me here at this party

Am       G
  Like a coat on a hook

C                Dm
 Two days, we're still not talking

Am                   G
  You're the opposite of an open book

C     G           Am
 Come back for me

           G                   C             Dm
Everyone's nervous and looking at their feet

          Am
I ask the same questions

   G
To everyone I see
[Chorus]
Dm              F                       C        G
  Where are the ninety-nines? Everyone's missing

Dm               F                   C         G
  It's like a confession with nobody listening

Dm                F                   C       G
  Friendships are melting, nothing is helping

Dm                F                 C       G
  Nothing's worth keeping, promises cheapen

Dm                  F                    C
  Two years since I saw you last curling your

               G                     Dm     F
Hair with your pistol, telling me not to be

       C        G
So melodramatic

Dm            F                         C
  It warms my face and gets my hands to open

       G                         Dm                F
Snakes in the water paths of our silverware soften

        C                        G
Like it says on the prescription
[Outro]
      Dm           F              C
Don't leave me here at this party

       G              C
Like a coat on a hook
