Capo on 3

CI've (x32010@1)been away for far too long.
            F (133211@1)                 GI've (320003@1)had my mind wrapped around this one song
CI (x32010@1)heard last week on the radio while
F (133211@1)               G (320003@1)               CDriving (x32010@1)near that place we used to go

Am (x02210@1)            GWhere (320003@1)the track homes all look the same
           F (133211@1)                         GWith (320003@1)their roofs and the tiles and the similar frames 
        Am (x02210@1)                        GAll (320003@1)the streets are so wide and the cars are so lame
       F (133211@1)                     G (320003@1)             CAnd (x32010@1)on every block I heard the whisper of your name.

CI (x32010@1)spent so many evenings in my head
    F (133211@1)             GI'd (320003@1)lie alone on an unmade bed
CCounting (x32010@1)the minutes like numbered clocks
         F (133211@1)                            GShould (320003@1)I call, should I write, should I read, should I stop?

Am (x02210@1)                     GI'm (320003@1)a child, I'm a ghost, I'm a slur, I'm a boast,
	 F (133211@1)                      GI'm (320003@1)a prince, I'm a king, I'm a rhyme, I'm a ring,
    Am (x02210@1)                 GI'm (320003@1)unable to sleep, I'm unable to sing,
      F (133211@1)                   G (320003@1)                CI'm (x32010@1)a desperate and lonely, frightened, unholy thing

Am (x02210@1)      G (320003@1)           CAnd (x32010@1)you'd say la la la I'm so glad I'm over you
       Am (x02210@1)                         G (320003@1)                 CAs (x32010@1)you reach for your drink and you tell me you like my shoes
      Am (x02210@1)                                  GAnd (320003@1)I smile like a wretch, there's not much else I can do
        Am (x02210@1)                          GI (320003@1)say I know what you mean, yeah it's weird for me too
             F (133211@1)               G (320003@1)          CBesides (x32010@1)what would I sing about... if I had you?

Kinda sounds like la la la...

              F (133211@1)                     GThat (320003@1)had this weird little beat and a keyboard instead
   COf (x32010@1)guitar playing chords, I remember how bored
	    FYou (133211@1)would get with those bands
           G (320003@1)                           CYou (x32010@1)always said they play the same three chords

Am (x02210@1)                 GAnd (320003@1)you'd dance around in your t-shirt and sing
          F (133211@1)                   GDon't (320003@1)you love Modest Mouse and adore Promise Ring?
          Am (x02210@1)                     G (320003@1)
Don't you wish that you could just avoid everything?

Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1)            CAnd (x32010@1)I'd think la la la yeah that sounds okay to me
          Am (x02210@1)                    G (320003@1)             CAnd (x32010@1)you'd fall on the bed and I'd fall down to my knees
        Am (x02210@1)               GAnd (320003@1)I'd smile like my life depended on it
          Am (x02210@1)               GThat's (320003@1)so weird I was mostly right about that
       F (133211@1)               G (320003@1)      CAlways (x32010@1)eager to love and eager to leave
