Capo 4

Am    G        C        F
I'm in the city you hated, my eyes are fallen
Counting the clicks with the living dead, my eyes are red
I'm in the crush and I hate it, my eyes are fallen

G           C              F
I'm having trouble inside my skin
I try to keep my skeletons in

Am    G              C                F
Is it weird to be back in the south? And can they even tell
That the city girl was ever there Or anywhere?

G           C              F
I'm having trouble inside my skin
I try to keep my skeletons in

G      C                    F            G
I'll be a friend and a fuck-up And everything

C                  G
But I'll never be anything you ever want me to be

C          C/B              Am                                  G
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out... I
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out

Am    G        C        F
I don't need any help to be breakable, believe me
I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke
I won't need any help to be lonely when you leave me

G           C              F
It'll be easy to cover
Gather my skeletons far inside

G      C                    F            G
It'll be summer in Dallas Before I realize

Am    G        C        F
I don't want you to grieve But I want you to sympathize (alright)
I can't blame you for losing Your mind for a little while (so did I)
I don't want you to change But I want you to recognize (that I)

G           C              F
It'll be easy to cover
Gather my skeletons far inside

G      C                    F            G
It'll be summer in Dallas Before you realize

C                  G
But I'll never be anything you ever want me to be

C          C/B              Am                                  G
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out... I

C          C/B              Am                                  G
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
