Em D Em D
Em D C
[Verse 1]
Em D Em D
I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
Em D C
Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
Em D
And if it was an open-shut case
Em D Em
I never would've known from that look on your face
D C
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
[Chorus]
G D Am
The more that you say, the less I know
Em G
Wherever you stray, I follow
D Am
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Em
Wreck my plans, that's my man
[Verse 2]
Em D Em D
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Em D C
Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneakin' in
Em D
As if you were a mythical thing
Em D Em
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
D C
And there was one prize I'd cheat to win
[Chorus]
G D Am
The more that you say, the less I know
Em G
Wherever you stray, I follow
D Am
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Em G
Wreck my plans, that's my man

You know that my train could take you home
Em G
Anywhere else is hollow
D Am
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Em
Wreck my plans, that's my man
[Bridge]
Bm Em Am G Bm Em
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Am G Bm Em
They count me out time and time again
Am G Bm Em
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Am G
But I come back stronger than a '90s trend
[Verse 3]
Em D Em D
Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark
Em D C
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Em D
Now this is an open-shut case
Em D Em
I guess I should've known from the look on your face
D C
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
[Chorus]
G D Am
The more that you say, the less I know
Em G
Wherever you stray, I follow
D Am
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Em G
Wreck my plans, that's my man

You know that my train could take you home
Em G
Anywhere else is hollow
D Am
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Em G
Wreck my plans, that's my man

The more that you say, the less I know
Em G
Wherever you stray, I follow
D Am
I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

You know that my train could take you home

Anywhere else is hollow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

[Intro]
C G Am F
C G Am F
[Verse 1]
C G
You booked the night train for a reason
Am F
So you could sit there in this hurt
C G
Bustling crowds or silent sleepers
Am F
You're not sure which is worse
[Chorus]
C
Because I dropped your hand while dancing
G
Left you out there standing
Am
Crestfallen on the landing
F
Champagne problems
C
Your mom's ring in your pocket
G
My picture in your wallet
Am
Your heart was glass, I dropped it
F CGAm F
Champagne problems
[Verse 2]
C G
You told your family for a reason
Am F
You couldn't keep it in
C G
Your sister splashed out on the bottle
Am F
Now no one's celebrating
[Chorus]
C
Dom Pérignon, you brought it
G
No crowd of friends applauded
Am
Your hometown skeptics called it
F
Champagne problems
C
You had a speech, you're speechless
G
Love slipped beyond your reaches
Am
And I couldn't give a reason
F CGAm F
Champagne problems
[Instrumental]
C G Am F
[Bridge]
C G
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door
Am
November flush and your flannel cure
"This dorm was once a madhouse"
F
I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"
C G
How evergreen, our group of friends
Am
Don't think we'll say that word again
F
And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls
That we once walked through
C
One for the money, two for the show
G
I never was ready so I watch you go
Am
Sometimes you just don't know the answer
F
'Til someone's on their knees and asks you
C
"She would've made such a lovely bride
G
What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said
Am
But you'll find the real thing instead
F
She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred
[Chorus]
C
And hold your hand while dancing
G
Never leave you standing
Am
Crestfallen on the landing
F
With champagne problems
C
Your mom's ring in your pocket
G
Her picture in your wallet
Am
You won't remember all my
F
Champagne problems
[Outro]
C G
Am
You won't remember all my
F
Champagne problems

[Intro]
Em C
Em
Gleaming, twinkling
C
Eyes like sinking
Bm
Ships on waters
D
So inviting, I almost jump in
[Chorus]
Em
But I don't like a gold rush, gold rush
C
I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush
Bm
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
D
Everybody wants you
Em
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
C
I don't like slow motion, double vision in rose blush
Bm
I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush
D
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush
[Verse 1]
F C G
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?
F
With your hair falling into place like dominoes
C G
I see me padding across your wooden floors
F
With my Eagles T-shirt hanging from the door
[Refrain]
C G
At dinner parties, I call you out on your contrarian shit
F
And the coastal town we wandered 'round had nеver seen a love as pure as it
C D
And thеn it fades into the gray of my day-old tea
'Cause it could never be
[Chorus]
Em
But I don't like a gold rush, gold rush
C
I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush
Bm
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
D
Everybody wants you
Em
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
C
I don't like slow motion, double vision in rose blush
Bm
I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush
D
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush
[Verse 2]
F C G
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?
F
With your hair falling into place like dominoes
C G
My mind turns your life into folklore
F
I can't dare to dream about you anymore
[Refrain]
C G
At dinner parties, I won't call you out on your contrarian shit
F
And the coastal town we never found will never see a love as pure as it
C D
'Cause it fades into the gray of my day-old tea
'Cause it will never be

CAPO: 3
[Intro]
G D A D
G D A D
[Verse 1]
G D A
If I wanted to know who you were hanging with
D
While I was gone, I would've asked you
G D A
It's the kind of cold, fogs up windshield glass
D
But I felt it when I passed you
G D A D
There's an ache in you, put there by the ache in me
G D
But if it's all the same to you
A
It's the same to me
[Chorus]
A D
So we could call it even
A D
You could call me "babe" for the weekend
A Bm
'Tis the damn season, write this down
A
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
Bm
And the road not taken looks real good now
A D A
And it always leads to you and my hometown
[Verse 2]
G D A
I parkеd my car right between the Methodist
D G
And thе school that used to be ours
D A
The holidays linger like bad perfume
D G
You can run, but only so far
D A D
I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave
G D A
But if it's okay with you, it's okay with me
[Chorus]
A D
We could call it even
A D
You could call me "babe" for the weekend
A Bm
'Tis the damn season, write this down
A
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
Bm
And the road not taken looks real good now
D A D
Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
A Bm
Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
A
We could just ride around
Bm
And the road not taken looks real good now
A D A
And it always leads to you and my hometown
[Bridge]
D A Bm
Sleep in half the day just for old times' sake
A D A
I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
D A
So I'll go back to L.A. and the so-called friends
D A
Who'll write books about me if I ever make it
Bm A
And wonder about the only soul
D
Who can tell which smiles I'm fakin'
A
And the heart I know I'm breakin' is my own
G D A
To leave the warmest bed I've ever known
G DA
We could call it even
G DA
Even though I'm leaving
G
And I'll be yours for the weekend
D A
'Tis the damn season
[Chorus]
A D
We could call it even
A D
You could call me "babe" for the weekend
A Bm
'Tis the damn season, write this down
A
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
Bm
And the road not taken looks real good now
D A D
Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
A Bm
Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
A
We could just ride around
Bm
And the road not taken looks real good now
A D A D
And it always leads to you and my hometown
[Outro]
G D A DGDADG
It always leads to you and my hometown

Now I'm beggin' for footnotes in the story of your life

Drawin' hearts in the byline
Em
Always takin' up too much space or time
D G
You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I (I)

Break free and leave us in ruins?

Took this dagger in me and removed it

G
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
D
I know my love should be celebrated
EmCEm
But you tolerate it

G C G C
[Verse 1]
G C
Honey, when I'm above the trees
G C
I see this for what it is
G Am D
But now I'm right down in it, all the years I've given
C G
Is just shit we're dividin' up
C G
Showed you all of my hiding spots
C G
I was dancing when the music stopped
C G C
And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention
G C GC
I haven't met the new me yet
[Chorus]
G C
There'll be happiness after you
G C
But there was happiness because of you
G Am
Both of these things can be true
D C
There is happiness
[Post-Chorus]
G
Past the blood and bruise
Am G
Past the curses and cries
C Em
Beyond the terror in the nightfall
Am G
Haunted by the look in my eyes
C
That would've loved you for a lifetime
G
Leave it all behind
C G
And there is happiness
[Verse 2]
C G
Tell me, when did your winning smile
C G
Begin to look like a smirk?
C G C
When did all our lessons start to look like weapons
G C
Pointed at my deepest hurt?
G Am
I hope she'll be a beautiful fool
G C
Who takes my spot next to you
G
No, I didn't mean that
C G
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury

You haven't met the new me yet

There is happiness
[Post-Chorus]
G C G C
In our history, across our great divide
G C
There is a glorious sunrise
G C
Dappled with the flickers of light
G C
From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind
G CG
And there is happiness
[Bridge]
Dm C F G
I can't make it go away by making you a villain
Dm C F G
I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven
Am C
And I pulled your body into mine
G
Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties
Am C
No one teaches you what to do
G
When a good man hurts you
G
And you know you hurt him too
[Verse 3]
C G
Honey, when I'm above the trees
Am G
I see it for what it is
C G Am G C
But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head
D Am
After giving you the best I had
G C
Tell me what to give after that
G Am G
All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness
C G
You haven't met the new me yet
Am G
And I think she'll give you that
[Chorus]

There'll be happiness after you
C G C
But there was happiness because of you too
G
Both of these things can be true
Am
There is happiness
[Post-Chorus]

In our history, across our great divide
G C
There is a glorious sunrise
G C
Dappled with the flickers of light

CAPO: 1
[Intro]
Bm C D Em C
[Verse 1]
Bm
Break my soul in two looking for you
C
But you're right here
D
If I can't relate to you anymore
Em C
Then who am I related to?
Bm
And if this is the long haul
C
How'd we get here so soon?
D
Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Em C
Did I shatter you?
[Chorus]
Bm C
And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island
D
Wondering, where did my baby go?
Bm
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
C D
Sorry for not making you my centerfold
Em
Over and over
C
Lost again with no surprises
Bm
Disappointments, close your eyes
C
And it gets colder and colder
D
When the sun goes down
[Instrumental]
Bm C
[Verse 2]
Bm
The question pounds my head
C
What's a lifetime of achievement
D
If I pushed you to the edge
Em C
But you were too polite to leave me?
Bm
And do you miss the rogue
C
Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?
D
Will you forgive my soul
Em C
When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?
[Chorus]
Bm C
'Cause we were like the mall before the internet
D
It was the one place to be
Bm
The mischief, the gift-wrapped suburban dreams
C D
Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring
Em
Over and over
C
Lost again with no surprises
Bm
Disappointments, close your eyes
C
And it gets colder and colder
D
When the sun goes down
[Bridge]
Bm C
Were you waiting at our old spot
D
In the tree line by the gold clock
Did I leave you hanging every single day?
Bm C
Were you standing in the hallway
D
With a big cake, happy birthday
Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?
Bm
A universe away
C
And when I got into the accident
D
The sight that flashed before me was your face
Bm
But when I walked up to the podium
D
I think that I forgot to say your name
[Chorus]
Bm C
I'm on a bench in Coney Island
D
Wondering, where did my baby go?
Bm
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
C D
Sorry for not making you my centerfold
Em
Over and over
C
Lost again with no surprises
Bm
Disappointments, close your eyes
C
And it gets colder and colder
D
When the sun goes down
[Outro]
Em C
When the sun goes down
G
The sight that flashed before me was your face
Bm
When the sun goes down
D
But I think that I forgot to say your name
Em C
Over and over
G Bm
Sorry for not making you my, making you my
C D
Making you my centerfold

Bm A
How's one to know?
G Em F#m
I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones
G A
In a faith-forgotten land
Bm A
In from the snow
G Em F#m
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
G A
Tarnished but so grand
[Pre-Chorus]

And the old widow goes to the stone every day

But I don't, I just sit here and wait
G A
Grieving for the living
[Chorus]
D Bm
Oh, goddamn
A Bm D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand

Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

Oh, I can't

Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Bm A
My house of stone, your ivy grows
Bm A GEm F#m G A
And now I'm covered in you
[Verse 2]

Fatefully

I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me
F C
Misery
Am G
Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
F C
And you passed right by
Am G
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides
F C
The knife cuts both ways
Am G
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break
[Chorus]
F C
And I fell from the pedestal

Right down the rabbit hole
G F
Long story short, it was a bad time

Pushed from the precipice

Clung to the nearest lips

Long story short, it was the wrong guy

Missing me

At the golden gates they once held the keys to

When I dropped my sword

I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door

And we live in peace

But if someone comes at us, this time, I'm ready

Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky

And he feels like home

If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go

And I fell from the pedestal

Right down the rabbit hole

Bm G
The autumn chill that wakes me up
D
You loved the amber skies so much
Long limbs and frozen swims
A Bm
You'd always go past where our feet could touch
G
And I complained the whole way there
D
The car ride back and up the stairs
A
I should've asked you questions
D
I should've asked you how to be
G
Asked you to write it down for me
D
Should've kept every grocery store receipt
A
'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
Em G
Watched as you signed your name Marjorie
D
All your closets of backlogged dreams
A
And how you left them all to me
[Chorus]

What died didn't stay dead

But it's fake and it's oh-so unnecessary

[Verse 1]
C
Gray November
F
I've been down since July
C
Motion capture
F
Put me in a bad light
C F
I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone
C
Trying to find the one where I went wrong
Writing letters
F
Addressed to the fire
[Chorus]
C
And I was catchin' my breath
F
Starin' out an open window, catchin' my death
C
And I couldn't be sure
F
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
C F
Evermore
[Verse 2]
C
Hey, December
F
Guess I'm feeling unmoored
C
Can't remember
F
What I used to fight for
C F
I rewind thе tape, but all it does is pause
On thе very moment all was lost
C
Sending signals
F
To be double-crossed
[Chorus]
C
And I was catchin' my breath
F
Barefoot in the wildest winter, catchin' my death
C
And I couldn't be sure
F
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
C
Evermore
[Post-Chorus]
F
(Evermore)
[Bridge]
F G
Can't not think of all the cost
Am
And the things that will be lost
F G
Oh, can we just get a pause?
Am
To be certain we'll be tall again
F G
Whether weather be the frost
Am
Or the violence of the dog days
F G Am
I'm on waves, out being tossed
F
Is there a line that I could just go cross?
G
And when I was shipwrecked (Can't think of all the cost now)
Am F
I thought of you (All the things that will be lost now)
G
In the cracks of light (Can we just get a pause?)
Am F
I dreamed of you (To be certain we'll be tall again)
(If you think of all the cost)
G
It was real enough (Whether weather be the frost)
Am
To get me through (Or the violence of the dog days)
(Or the violence of the dog days)
F G
(Out on waves, being tossed)
(I'm on waves, out being tossed)
Am
But I swear (Is there a line that we can just go cross?)
C FCF
You were there
[Chorus]
C
And I was catchin' my breath
F
Floors of a cabin creakin' under my step
C
And I couldn't be sure
F
I had a feeling so peculiar
This pain wouldn't be for
C
Evermore
[Outro]
F
Evermore (Evermore)
C
Evermore (Evermore)
F
This pain wouldn't be for evermore

[Verse 1]
D
Friends break up, friends get married
Em
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
C
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
G D
But I'm right where you left me
D
Matches burn after the other
Em
Pages turn and stick to each other
C
Wages earned and lessons learned
G D
But I, I'm right where you left me
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
C
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
G D
They say, "What a sad sight," I
D Em
I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
C
Right when I felt the moment stop
Glass shattered on the white cloth
G D Am
Everybody moved on, I, I stayed there
G
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
D Am
They expected me to find somewhere
G D
Some perspective, but I sat and stared right where
[Chorus]
D Em C
You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no
G D
You left me no choice but to stay here forever

You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no

Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?
D
Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it

She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy

How it was supposed to be
Bm C
Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?
D
Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it
C
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
G D
And you're sitting in front of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
At the restaurant
C
When I was still the one you want
Cross-legged in the dim light
G D
Everything was just right, I
D Em
I could feel the mascara run
C
You told me that you met someone
Glass shattered on the white cloth
G D
Everybody moved on
D Em
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
C
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
G D Am
They say, "What a sad sight," I, I stayed there
G
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
D Am
I'm sure that you got a wife out there
G D
Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware 'cause I'm right where
Am
I cause no harm, mind my business
G D Am
If our love died young, I can't bear witness, and it's been so long
G D
If you ever think you got it wrong, I'm right where
[Chorus]
D Em C
You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no

You left me no choice but to stay here forever

You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no

[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Am F
When the dinner is cold and the chatter gets old
G
You ask for the tab
C Am F
Or that moment again, he's insisting that friends
G
Look at each other like that
C Am F
When the words of a sister come back in whispers
G
That prove she was not
C Am F
In fact what she seemed, not a twin from your dreams
G
She's a crook who was caught
[Chorus]
Am G
That old familiar body ache
F CAm
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
F G C Am F G
You know when it's time to go
[Verse 2]
C Am F
Twenty years at your job, then the son of the boss
G
Gets the spot that was yours
C Am F
Or trying to stay for the kids, when keeping it how it is
G
Will only break their hearts worse
[Chorus]
Am G
That old familiar body ache
F Am G
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
Em F C
You know when it's time to go

Sometimes, to run is the brave thing

Sometimes, walkin' out is the one thing

That will find you the right thing
G C
Sometimes, givin' up is the strong thing
F C
Sometimes, to run is the brave thing

Sometimes, walkin' out is the one thing

C Am F
Fifteen years, fifteen million tears
G
Begging 'til my knees bled
C Am F
I gave it my all, he gave me nothin' at all
G
Then wondered why I left
C Am F
Now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones
G
Praying to his greed
C Am F
He's got my past frozen behind glass
G
But I've got me
[Chorus]
Am G
That old familiar body ache
C F Am G
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul

I know when it's time to go
