I left you a note on the table, I hope it finds you well

I hope you don't hurt like you did, 'cause I'd just blame myself
C5

I'm out on these streets bleeding nightly
For these people I meet
E5
But its you who I long for when I cannot sleep
G5
Its enough it could drive me to drink

You're the hope in my cold stare
E5 G5
You're the drink in my hand
Verse:
C5
When I picked up you broke into tears
A5
You said you weren't busy enough
E5
I still don't know why you need me
G5
And my broken down love
C5 A5
With each second that ticks your voice rings in my ears and the memories
flood back from all of our years
E5
And I tell you its ok, there's nothing to fear
G5 G5
And I secretly hope I am right

Verse:
C5 A5
I left you last week and you told me, "Go on and follow your dreams,"
E5 G5
I think about that lately, still I don't know what it means
C5
Because you're what I dream of when I wake alone
A5
As I drift away as we talk on the phone
E5
You're all I want and that's all that I know
G5 G5
And I still just can't wait to get home
