Em D        G         C
I'm in the city you hated

C
My eyes are fallen

Em    D        G              C
Counting the clicks with the living dead

C
My eyes are red




Em D         G          C
I'm in the crush and I hate it

C
My eyes are fallen




D            G       C
I'm having trouble inside my skin

D         G       C
I try to keep my skeletons in




Em      D          G           C
Is it weird to be back in the south?

C
And can they even tell

Em        D        G         C
That the city girl was ever there -

C
Or anywhere?




D          G         C
I'm having trouble inside my skin

D         G       C
I try to keep my skeletons in

D         G            C
I'll be a friend and a fuck-up

C    D
And everything




D   Em         D
But I'll never be

D
Anything you ever want me to be




G                  C                     D
I keep coming back here where everything slipped

D    G                  C        D
But I will not spill my guts out

G                C                     D
I keep coming back here where everything slipped

D    G                  C        D
But I will not spill my guts out




Em      D        G          C          C
I don't need any help to be breakable, believe me

Em     D      G            C                  C
I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke

Em      D        G          C               C
I won't need any help to be lonely when you leave me



         D       C
It'll be easy to cover

D          G        C
Gather my skeletons far inside

D        G         C
It'll be summer in Dallas

C        D
Before I realize




Em      D           G
I don't want you to grieve

      C            
But I want you to sympathize (alright)

Em      D             G
I can't blame you for losing

     C
Your mind for a little while (so did I)

Em      D           G
I don't want you to change

      C
But I want you to recognize (that I)




D        G       C
It'll be easy to cover

D           G         C
Gather your skeletons far inside

D        G         C
It'll be summer in Dallas

C          D
Before you realize




D    Em         D
That I'll never be

D                               G
Anything you ever want me to be



G                  C                     D
I keep coming back here where everything slipped

     G                  C       D
But I will not spill my guts out

G                  C                     D
I keep coming back here where everything slipped

D     G                 C       D
But I will not spill my guts out
