lyrics

Intro:
G -> Em -> Bm, Bmaj

Vs1.
C G
I am a cup of rotten coffee, my thoughts are floating on my head
C G
and if you drink them in and chew them up, they're only gonna make you sick
E Am
I've lived my life like blackout bingo; trying on each home I thought might fit.
F G C
Now there's a bean on every square, but someone's telling me I still can't win.

Chorus
Eb A#
I've left // When I thought leaving made things right.
Eb A#
I've quit // When quitting meant I didn't start a fight.
Gm Gm/F Eb
I've spent // Half my wrist erasing what I write
Gm Gm/F Eb
half my days ashamed of half my nights
Gm Cm Gm // G
half my life escaping from my life.

Vs.2
I've paid admission to the places I have loved by pawning off pieces of my heart
til I'm smeared across a globe with little hope of recovering half my parts.
I've spent entire years behind a wheel wondering why it is I drive so hard.
til I'm no closer to an answer, ten years later, than the day I tried to start.

Chorus2
I've left // When I thought leaving made things right.
I've quit // When quitting meant I didn't start a fight.
I've spent // Half my wrist erasing what I write
half my days ashamed of half my nights
half my life escaping from my life

Bridge:
Eb A#
Sometimes I'm certain I'm a train filled with strangers
Eb A#
And we're all searching for a home we've never seen
Gm Gm/F Eb
So I'll keep whistling my so-ong low and pretty
(walkdown) Cm
And we'll keep stumbling through the night
Gm
like tunnels searching for the light.

Chorus3
I've left // When I thought leaving made things right.
I've quit // When quitting meant I didn't start a fight.
I've spent // Half my wrist erasing what I write
half my days ashamed of half my nights
half my life escaping from my life
