[Verse 1]
B                 G#m
You're leaving at midnight
                 F#          E
But that doesn't sit right
                 B
You call your dad
                 G#m
And hide your location
             F#       A
With no hesitation

[Pre-Chorus]
 B
You were attached
G#m
Until you snapped
 F#                        E
Used to be kind now you're out
                 B
of your goddamn mind
              G#m
I used to be patient
                  F#
But now, I'm just vacant

[Chorus]
      B
I was so sentimental
           G#m
And you came for my head
           F#
We were both on the brink
        E
I was holding my breath
          B
You were so fucking twisted
            G#m
And it's hard to be indifferent
          F#
When I know
              E
Just be honest with me, babe
          B
Cast me out with the cynics
            G#m
And the saints all alike
            F#
You're a runaway truck
         E
I'm a guy on a bike
           B
You were so fucking shitty
         G#m
Get me out of this city
           F#
'Cause I know
              E
Just be honest with me, babe
With me, babe

[Verse 2]
B                   G#m
You say you're in midtown
                F#          E
To stay at a friends house
                  B
But you're at home
                  G#m
Counting your blessings
                 F#        A
It must get depressing

[Pre-Chorus]
 B
Don't call me back
   G#m
I'm used to that
      F#
It's just been a while
              E                     B
Since you've actually made me smile
                       G#m
There's something about you
                  F#
That I couldn't see through

      B
I was so sentimental
