[Intro]
Em   D  G


[Verse]
     Em
The flowers
 in my hallway
  G
 died two weeks ago
     Em
And just like you,
 I didn't have the
 G
heart to see them
 go
   Em
I know it sounds
pathetic,
   G
I guess it kinda is
  Em
Emotions burn in
different lights and
 G
that's just what
it is
     C
Oh, bless those
friends givin' me
 G
sorries and sympathies
 D
Know they're just
tryin'
to help
  Em          C
I see you in this
 house,
the city streets,
  G
 Polaroids, memories
 D
Still had some
stories to tell

I used to be the
