Intro: 
A B C#m C#m
A B E E

E
So this is what I get for trying to be nice
Like its the only time I've ever cared

E                         C#m
These blank walls make me sick
     A
Like excuses made up quick
         E            C#m      A
I'd move forward if I only could
            E         C#m      A
I'd like to thank you for this effort
                  E         C#m     A
It left me barely breathing on this stretcher



A C#m      B                      A    C#m                    
     We'll work things out in the end
     B                      A   
But we'll still be far from friends
              C#m                 B
Take my hand, run it through your hair again
A                                  C#m  B
I'll just pretend you're someone else
A
It's what I always did
    C#m E                    B   E  F#m
I'm not gonna force it if it doesn't fit
A                                 B
I'm not supposed to feel like this
A                                                    
But the weight of the world is just too strong for me
C#m   E       B      E   F#m    A
And I think I might just run away
A
Back to your door

Intro:
A B C#m C#m
A B E E

A              B
Empty days and lonely nights
          C#m
Provide a blueprint for the things I write
        A              B
So when people ask me, I know just what to say
E
The thought of you helps me wake up every day
A           B
And I don't believe in fate (IN FATE)
C#m
The only fate is the fate you make (YOU MAKE)
A               B                 E  
So I'll keep my nose to the grindstone
A                     B      
Cause that's all that I can do
     C#m
I've got good friends that help me too
A             B                E
And someday I will get back to you

Outro: C#m B A A 

       C#m                    B                  
On the back of my hand is the number she wrote
     A
I'll call her when my whole world goes up in smoke
  C#m                       B            
Until then I'll wonder what could have been
      A  
Cause everything works itself out in the end
