[Verse]
E
I'm counting out dollars while I limp to your brownstone.
A Am
I can just barely cover what I need to get back home.
F#m
And I know we're allowed indiscretion in our lives,
B7
but I've been making mine count every night for a while.
E
I keep deleting your number and name from my cell phone,
A Am
but I call every day; that's as far as my act goes.
F#m
What you have helps me turn down the noise that I make,
B7
but when it stops it just pokes me and keeps me awake.
E
My friends always warned about living cliches
A Am
but my friends aren't there when I meet you these days.
F#m
I count people and street signs from the back of your car
B7 B/C
and then skip back excited to wherever they are.
[Bridge]
C#m
I take risks in the stall while they talk by the bar.
F#m
I won't go back outside 'til my memory starts
A
erasing itself into something less brutal,
B B/C
some beautiful bullshit I pretend to belong to.
[Verse]
E
For as long as the truth tucks itself into bed,
A Am
and the beat of my heart and the heat of my breath
F#m
keep me hopeful and distant and proud of myself,
B7 E
I'll keep ringing your bell every night around twelve.
