G                        Bm
I can't imagine all the people that you know
        Em
and the places that you go
          C                      G
when the lights are turned down low
                      Bm
and I don't understand all the things you've seen
       Em
but I’m slipping in between
C                G           Bm
you and your big dreams
           Em
it's always you
      C
in my big dreams


G               Bm
and you tell me that it's over
Em                  C
wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clovers
G                   Bm
and your restless, and I'm naked
Em
you've gotta get out
          C                      G
you can't stand to see me shaking
Bm       Em
no.... could you let me go?
          C
I didn't think so


    G                               Bm
and you don't wanna be here in the future
                Em                                    C
so you say the present's just a pleasant interruption to the past
     G                          Bm    Em    C
and you don't wanna look much closer
G                 Bm                  Em                   C
cause your afraid to find out all this hope you had sent into the sky by now had
   Bm               Em
Crashed……    and it did
            C           G
because of me

             D          Em
and then you bring me home
                C                 G
afraid to find out that you're alone
                          D            G D Em
and I'm sleeping in your living room
                                D
but we don't have much room to live


G Bm Em C X 1


G                            Bm
I had these dreams that I learned to play guitar
Em
maybe cross the country
C (hold)
become a rock star
G                            Bm
and there was hope in me that I could take you there
    Em
but dammit you're so young
    C                    G
well I don't think I care
           Bm
and if I hurt you
         Em
then I'm sorry
              C                Am     G
please don't think that this was easy


          D         Em
then you bring me home
                            C             G
cuz we both know what it's like to be alone
                          D          G D Em
and I'm dreaming in your living room
                       F
but we don't have much room to live


G Bm Em C


G                      Bm
and Konstantine is walking down the stairs
Em
doesn't she look good
C                          G
standing in her underwear
                   Bm
and I was thinking
                    Em
what I was thinking
                             C
we've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere

G Bm Em C x 1


G                        Bm
my Konstantine came walking down the stairs
    Em                                 C          G
and all that I could do is touch her long blond hair
                       Bm
and I've been thinking

 Em
it hurts me thinking that these nights

(Em)                            C
when we were drinking no they never got us anywhere, no


G Bm Em C x 2


      G                                      Bm
this is because I can spell konfusion with a "K" and I like it
       Em                           C
it's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it
        G                          Bm
it's to Jimmy eat world and those nights in my car
          Em                       C
when the first star you see may not be a star
            G         Bm
I'm not yourrrrr    star
                   Em
isn't that what you said
                           C
what you thought this song meant


G Bm Em C x 1


      G
and if this is what it takes
       Bm
just to lie in my mistakes
    Em
and live with what I did to you
    C
and all the hell I put you through
   G
I always catch the clock
        Bm                       Em
it's 11:11 and now you want to talk
(Em)
it's not hard to dream
        C                  G        Bm
you'll always be my Konstantine
        Em                  C              G
Konstantine, they'll never hurt you like I do
                  Bm

Em            C

            G

            C

    F    Fm
to live

C
