[Intro] C Em7 F G C Am Dm7 G x2 [Verse 1]
          C              Em7  F             G
I've been looking for love in all the wrong places

C           Am      F          G
Seeing your eyes in strangers' faces

C              Em7   F         G
Searching for God in all of my vices

C           Am           Dm7  G
  Staying out till the sunlit rises
[Chorus]
 F               G
I, I light a cigarette

              Am
Call myself a cab

                 F        G             C
If only you were here, it wouldn't be so bad

         F               Fm                  Em
Why do I always want the things that I can't have?

It's so sad
[Verse 2]
          C           Em7          F        G
I've been dancing all night and my feet are hurting

C          Am                 Dm7       G
Taking the pills, but they're still not working

C              Em7       F      G
Trying to get by in this lonely city

    C             Am        Dm7        G
I'm leaving tonight, do you wanna come with me?
[Chorus]
F                     G
I, I know this little place

                    Am
That we could go relax

                 F                   G           C
Walk and run our fingers through the tips of the tall grass

         F               Fm                  Em
Why do I always want the things that I can't have?

         Dm7 G
It's so sad
[Bridge]
Fm              C
Storms start to rise

    Fm                 C
Helicopters are in the skies

            Am               Em
I feel this joy, but then it dies

            F          E
Why doesn't anybody realise

             Am      F    C
We're on the edge of paradise

      G      Am      F   C   G
We're on the edge of paradise
[Verse 3]
          C          Em7         F        G
I've been staring at screens, my eyes are aching

C         Am            Dm7         G
Losing my faith in this world we're making

C           Em7 F         G
Listening to my father scream and

C            Am        Dm7      G
Laid on the bathroom floor just dreaming
[Chorus]
     F                    G
Of a time, a time we will look back

                    Am
On all of this and laugh

                   F              G            C
And slowly piece together all the bits of broken glass
[Outro]
                F            Fm             Em
Why do I always want all the things I can't have?

         Dm7  G
It's so sad

         C
It's so sad
