[Verse 1]
G
In all good faith and sentiment, I can’t believe somehow
Em7
That I haven’t died of grief or something since you left this town
Cadd9 G
I’m all undecorated, cigarettes,
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
And standard white apartment walls
[Verse 2]
G
And 3 am and 4 am, it's impossible to sleep
Em7
I’d do anything to hold you, to feel you next to me
Cadd9
But I’m all sore eyes and beasts
G D Dsus4 D Dsus4
At my backdoor, pulling out their claws
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9
So yes I will take those
G D
Whatever else they give me
Em7 Cadd9
If it stops the nightmares
G D
It probably won’t kill me
Em7 Cadd9 G D
And if I slow it down I’ll end up on one of my accuser’s knives
Cadd9 D
So I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights
[Post-Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G D
.............At the red lights
[Break]
Em7 Cadd9 G D
[Verse 3]
G
And all in all I’m wrecked you see from years of piping down
Em7
And piping up about the things that never mattered anyhow
Cadd9
When you change too much you lose yourself
G D Dsus4 D Dsus4
And sometimes you just can’t get them back
[Verse 4]
G
And you might be an angel or a devil, I don’t know
Em7
But if in fact you are now, love, well, I’ve been there before
Cadd9 G
I’ve fallen on my face and I’ve been burned so near to death
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I probably wont live through it.........anyhow
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9
So yes I will take those
G D
Whatever else they give me
Em7 Cadd9
If it stops the nightmares
G D
It probably won’t kill me
Em7 Cadd9 G D
And if I slow it down I’ll end up on one of my accuser’s knives
Cadd9 D
So I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights
[Post-Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G D
.............At the red lights
[Break]
Em7 Cadd9 G
D G
Mmmmm-mmm.
G Cadd9
Cadd9 G Cadd9
Ooooooo-oohhh
[Solo Break]
Em7 Cadd9 G D (x3)
Cadd9 D
[Final Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9
So yes I will take those
G D
Whatever else they give me
Em7 Cadd9
If it stops the nightmares
G D
It probably won’t kill me
Em7 Cadd9 G D
And if I slow it down I’ll end up on one of my accuser’s knives
Em7 Cadd9 G D
So I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights
[Outro]
G G/F#
So yes I will take those
Em7 Cadd9
Whatever else they give me
G G/F#
If it stops the nightmares
Em7 Cadd9
It probably won’t kill me
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9
And if I slow it down I’ll end up on your knife
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G
So I only stop and I tell her that I love her at the red lights.
