Intro: Am


Verse 1:
C            G
  Sat up for hours 
             Am
Thought of a lover 
              G
I'll probably never 
Get the chance 
         C
to hold again 
          G
All of my days 
spend waiting for 
Am            G
  Nights with her
       F-- 
again again
    C
And I'm sharing a 
G                Am
drink with a memory 
      G
And a laugh with
         C
an empty seat 
             G
Do you still look the same?
     Am
Will you still
        G
look at me the same? 
        F
Cause I know that I don't 
     G
I've gotten so old 
         Am            G
in these last few years 
        F                       G
And I'd rather be fighting with you 
              Am            G
Than sleeping here, next to her


Chorus:
             C
Don't let me fall, I'll break 
       Am
What a mess I'd make 
  F
Pathetic --pieces-- on your floor 
     G
Will cut your feet forever more 
       C               Am
You're porcelain, such fragile skin 
     F
Just let me hold you I'll be gentle
G
I won't drop you 
                  Am
This time I'll be careful 


Verse 2:
C            G
  Forget for just one second 
Am             G
  That this is not alright 
C                G
  Let's drink to feeling nothing 
Am              G
  At least just for tonight 
     F
Stay for one more 
     G
Pass out on the floor 
     Am
like we used to do 
          G
It got so hot in your room 


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
    F       G      Am
And I can't let it go 
     F       G
This phantom pain 
    Am
I'm feeling 
        F
And the hurt won't
G         Am
leave me alone 
        F
And I'm tired of 
 G            C(hold)
sleeping with ghosts


Interlude: C--G/B--Am--G--


Verse 3:
      C
Fell asleep 
with your ghost 
     G/B
Woke up with a
headache 
         Am
only temporary 
G
  And in the morning
always fails me 


(Repeat chorus)
