[Verse 1]
 A            Bm        D
Baby, I’m a sucker for you
     A               E      D
How dare you go and sympathize
      A       Bm          D
With anybody else in the room?
     A               E
I’m drinking on the way
         D
to your house
     A                Bm
I’m scared enough to talk
       D
to my dad
        A
These thoughts are thoughts
                 D
that I’ve never had
         A
They’re wide awake
      F#          D
with you in your bed

[Chorus]
                 A
Harbored in the ways
      E      F#m
you won’t forget
 D                A       D
Lies your little kind of sadness
             A       E        F#m
Never really has to show its head
      D                 A
Just feed it ’til it’s full
     D
and let it be alone

[Verse 2]
 A              E      D
Baby, I’m in trouble again
   E                    D
I never really cut the ties
       A
With anything that
              D
made me like them
         A              E         D
They’re gonna drop the law on my ass
  A                          D
I let go of the wheel of my car
   Bm                          D
To see if I would make it that far
   A                 D
I never feel awake anymore

[Chorus]
                 E
Harbored in the ways
            F#m
you won’t forget
                  A       D
Lies your little kind of sadness
              E               F#m
Never really has to show its head
                        A
Just feed it ’til it’s full
                D
and let it be alone

[Bridge]
        E       F#m
I came here to find
    A             D
a place in public
             E    F#m
Thought I’d dignify the
 A                  D
truth that no one gets
       E   F#m
I am sanctified
        A          D
and fucking losing it
        E      F#m
I came here to cry,
    A           D
a babbling lunatic
        E      F#m
I got loosely based
    A            D
on places I had been
       E        F#m
To be lost and found
     A              D
and lost and found again
         E       F#m
I can’t seem to find
      A           D
the truth in anything
         E       F#m
So I’ll realign ’til
   A    Bm     D
I feel born again
