Will the marker stain the skin?
AF#m
Stole the dress I saw you in
EAF#m
Now nothing comes to mind
E
Saw a life as override
AF#m
One more session overdrive
EAF#m
The ceiling is the roof
[Pre-Chorus]C#m
Change address and draw a line
B
Show my friends the silver lines
F#mA
Call my family just to know they're there
[Chorus]E
Sleepin' in late like I used to
AF#m
Crossing my fingers like I used to
C#mA
Waiting inside like I used to
B
Avoiding big crowds like I used to
[Interlude]EAF#mEAF#m[Verse 2]E
Crawl the field and lеt you in
AF#m
Brand my heart I found you in
EAF#m
To say nothing's more apart
E
Will my lover bе there, stay
AF#m
Follow them to less the pain
EAF#m
The ceiling must be wrong
[Pre-Chorus]C#m
Well, my head's gone today
B
Sell my past for a way
F#mA
To sing and have something left to say
C#m
Pray my hands, pray my voice
B
Give the reason, take away
F#mA
Make believe an order for to stay
