[Intro[
Bm G D
[Verse 1]
Bm
Half as drunk as I thought
G D
I'd be by now, that's good
Bm G
I can still see the people around
D
me change shape
Bm
Speak their minds and pretend
G D
they were misunderstood
Bm
Preachin' 'bout sin over
G D
lines of cocaine
Bm
Even when you're not here,
G D
it becomes about you
Bm
They all want me to tell
G D
'em your story
Bm
You broke in and stole china
G D
from our livin' room
Bm
Kinda makes all the other
G D
parts boring
Bm
You stand over half a foot
G D
taller than me
Bm
Your marks on the wall of
G D
the weight room
Bm
Naive to believe you would
G D
come back and see
Bm G
If I could finally take you

[Chorus] D A Oh, well, I'd beat your ass Bm 'til the morning G You know I've been running D all this time A Bm Sprinting my way past your bedroom G D Lifting the weight of you off my mind A Bm 'Cause if I never see you again G D And you can be anything I want A Twenty-three, clean in the Bm engine heat G D Teaching me how the thing runs [Post-Chorus] A Stay gone Bm G Won't you stay gone? A Stay gone Bm G Stay gone

[Verse 2]
Bm
Tattooed your initials into
G D
my right arm
Bm
So I'd see your name when
G D
I lift up a drink
Bm
There ain't nothing else here
G D
worth catching up on
Bm
So I hope that it's warm
g D
wherever you sleep
Bm
And I've got a feeling
G D
that won't go away
Bm
The doctors are calling
G D
it "just moving on"
Bm
I still ball up my fists when
G D
they mention your name
Bm
No one gets to talk shit but
G D
the ones you've shit on
