                      B5 Bb5                    G
I've been leaving messages on an answering machine

      Bm                              D              A
In a house that's always empty, so I know nobody's listening.

               Bm                            D
I've been confessing my transgressions over tape hiss

           G             D       Em
And the silence makes me sick.

             G
No good can come from this.

D F#m G G X2

            D
I'm letting go.

I've been holding on like poison ivy

          G
Out of cold suburban concrete

From this careless urban sprawl.

             D
I'm letting go.

You know we can't keep out of trouble.

             G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.

I thought we'd never be alone.

            B5 Bb5                 G
I've got images of you inside my head

    D
Outside of the gas station where we always used to shoplift.

                   Bm    D
It's car-crash rhetoric.

              G                              D  Em
We fucked up everything we came in contact with.

                   G
Just boyhood recklessness.

D A G G D F#m G G

            D
I'm letting go.

I've been holding on like poison ivy

          G
Out of cold suburban concrete

From this careless urban sprawl.

             D
I'm letting go.

You know we can't keep out of trouble.

             G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.

I thought we'd never be alone. D F#m G Em D F#m G Bm

 D               Em                           Bm       A  G                     
If you walked me home, you'd know how weak my arms got.

Em (I usually don't play this Em) I just can't carry you.

Bm     F#m          G                    Bm      A   
If you walked me home, I know I'd have flashbacks

    G               Em
Of snow angels and gut laughs.

Bm      F#m         G
If you walked me home... but you won't.

                Bm A           Em
You're all alone on some bullshit, pill-bottle vision quest.

D                   G                             A
If you walked me home, I don't know when I would finally

            Em                 G
Work up the backbone to walk alone.

            D
I'm letting go

            G
Cause I loved you, but I have to.

            D
I'm letting go.

You know we can't keep out of trouble.

              G
I thought my kids would call you uncle.

I thought we'd never be alone. I'm letting go. OUTRO there are two versions of the outro. If you decide to play I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral after, play outro 1. If you don't, or want to end it sounding more complete, play outro 2 OUTRO 1

A        G        Bm
If you walked me home...

OUTRO 2

D        A        G
If you walked me home...
