F  Bb  Csus4  F

[Verse]
    F          Bb
We moved to a place with
               Csus4
 a view off of eight avenue
       Am
after we said I do
        F
And we watched cars of
  Bb           Csus4
bachelorettes, 2am cigarettes,
       F                     F
and traffic headed downtown
         Bb
And the interstate was so loud,
Csus4             F
    there was a lot
 it had to drown out

[Chorus]
Bb             F
We played the part five nights,
     Dm7
but we were never there
          C
 on the weekends, baby
Bb        F
We got along real nice,
      Dm7
 but when I left town,

   C
did you hate me?
Bb            F
One day, the curtain
started coming down
Dm7             C
 I changed the second
we were moving out
Bb                 F
I guess wrong can look alright
Dm7
When you're playing home
       C            Bb F Dm C
in a penthouse, baby

[Verse]
   F          Bb
I bought the house with a fence,
         C
 enough room for some kids,
     Am
 a backyard for dibs
       F
And I thought that would
  Bb
make it all better,
     C
And maybe forever wouldn't
  F
feel like the walls closing in
       Bb
'Cause how does that
            C
even make sense?
            F
Now that I think
 about it, it never did

    F
It hurts putting
  F
 shit in a box
     C
And now we don't talk
        F
And it stings rolling
         F
up the welcome mat
Knowing you got half

[Chorus]
Bb                F
I kissed someone new last night
    Dm
But now I don't know where
         C           Bb
you're sleeping, baby
         F
We got along real nice,
   Dm
until I wanted out,
         C
now I know you hate me

Bb            F
One day, the curtain
started coming down
Dm              C
We changed the second
 we were moving out
Bb                 F
I guess wrong can look alright

Dm7
When you're playing
            C           Bb F
home in a penthouse, baby
    Dm
Oh, we were playing home
        C           Bb F     Dm C
in a penthouse, babyyyyy mm mm

[Outro]
        F          F
I just bought the house
 that we saw
     C
You said it was wrong
         C
I wanted it all along
